Has Dana heard of Skype?

[Degen Gambler]

Why does someone have to fly around the world to talk shit? Its 2016. The UFC could put up a big 50 foot screen above the press table and have Conor on there talking shit about how he's obsessed with training right now and that he's ready to whoop Diaz and whatever other shit he wants to say. You don't need to do stupid face offs to get people excited. There are ways to promote the fight and still keep Conor on target with his training.

Your Conor nut hugging is noted. Carry on.

Skype? That's some street level promotion right there. How many people are gonna "tune in" to Skype?

Every press conference seems like UFC has a mic that stops working. I don't think they are savvy enough for skype.

Did you even read the post?

Because there is no threat of a fight breaking out over Skype. I can talk crap about Mike Tyson over Skype, I would not if I was sitting next to him though.

It was one week out of 3 months. A shit excuse in other words.

 

[Candy Routure]

Or he could go.. Like every other fighter...

 

[GordaoPreguico]

They already do conference calls and they arent as widely hyped as the in person promotional stuff. The UFC can fly him back and forth in their private jet and he wouldnt miss much training.
P.S. - His opponent is missing the same amount of training.

If they did it over Skype, it would be called The MMA Hour.

Well lorenzo can talk all he wants about how the ufc is the product and not the fighters,but on an organisation and infrastructure level they are mediocre at best.Cheap promos,old fashioned press conferences,nothing special social media wise.Hate conor all you want(i do too half the time) but he is right on this.

 

[Zefram Cochrane]

Trying to find every excuse under the sun. Keep up the good work, chump.

 

[Pls Respond]

Dana should use it for himselfff

 

[gimp0]

Yeah, we all know how well that went last time...

This isn't a 'mergers and acquisitions' meeting.

A lot of the energy build is from the physical presence of both fighters together.

I want to know why Dana White has never heard of bilocation.

Sure you could!

 

[El Hombre]

Please, put your erect penis away, and step away from your Conor effigy.

He has to do the promo stuff because it's in his contract. Simple.

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

They wouldn't use Skype. They would use satellite. No lag time. Skype would be good to use for like promotional work for radio shows or tv shows though. But I agree. Technology is here for a reason.
