Your keyboard CAPS LOCK key has a fault.
It's sticking frequently.

I'll PayPal you 10dollars so you can get it fixed, if you like.

alternating caps became internet speech for sarcasm at some point because /sarcasm stopped making sense because standard programming nomenclature became passe for the younger generation. So they switched to Alternate caps

Because that’s their premium subscription service that just so happens to be featuring a UFC PPV this Saturday. Businesses tend to try to drive people towards these. Especially when the business is an exclusive broadcast partner with a financial stake in viewership and attention.

*Exclusive broadcast partner for 2 more months, so it would logically make sense financially long term to drive people towards the content that will generate revenue past that short time horizon.

That said, you're probably correct in that they wouldn't hate a short term small boost in ppv buys. But why not then feature the guy who just starred in a Netflix movie? Why use the space to feature a guy that "nobody cares about"?

So weird trying to prove this guy doesn't matter at all.

I'm old and can't keep up with all that. I tried. Oh well.

Which is exactly why I’ve been asking you what else in their premium lineup they should be promoting instead that’s comparable, but you won’t answer.

I thought I did...college football. Did you look and see how many games they're showing just on that platform? What do you think the ESPN broadcast deal with NCAA football is worth?

Man I haven't seen this much pressure for a fighter to perform in a long time. Tom's been touted as the guy to beat Jon. The guy Jon ran from. The future HW goat. And on and on.

Well even if Tom doesn't win another fight, Jones still ran from him

I actually did; there are 11 NCAA football games on this Saturday. Which one(s) do you think would outdraw UFC 321 in internet article traffic?

Yeah that's fine. Jon has 17 title wins and is a 38 year old washed fighter. It was time to retire. On top of the world by the way.

 

[Aurelian]

The only way the haters can finally bust that nut of seeing Jon lose is against Alex at the White House.

Book that shit baby.

No clue, but I'll ask again: why highlight Aspinall? He doesn't move the needle and nobody cares about him. The article isn't "Hey watch this great cardio with all these great fighters." It's about one guy that a bunch of people here keep saying is a nobody.

 

[FriskyRandy]

Posting a thread like this and the way he did it should be yellows.

 

[Michael Wetzel]

Tom being unknown and undersold shows how weak UFCs heavyweight division is right now. People knew who Couture, Silvia, Cain, JDS, Brock, DC, Stipe, Francis, Jones were. The division has no relevant fighters right now. This is indicated by Volkov probably being only one win away from a title shot.

Ran like a washed up little bitch

Because he's in the main event championship fight.

And if ESPN is losing money promoting Tom and UFC 321 in general, how does that mean he's a big star?

I'll play devil's advocate and say mlb world series starts Friday. But I doubt that's on +

Good mention, completely forgot baseball existed! That would definitely be competition.

Cool story bro

 

[whocares]

There isn't a single person who follows MMA who doesn't know who Tom Aspinall is. It's a 2024-2025 Jon fanbase generated weak soy meme, and it is gay, like Jon. But that's ok. Because now if Tom doesn't win all his fights in under 10 seconds, we get to talk more about gay Jon, who is gay. That's another meme that popped up in that time period. It is also a gay meme, just a different kind of gay. Also the alternating caps thing is a way to mock someone by insinuating that they are mentally challenged.

So is Gane, who just starred in a Netflix movie that was in the top 10 streamed for a minute. Why not sell him instead of the other guy that nobody cares about?

I didn't mention it exactly because it's not on ESPN at all, let alone ESPN+ (although obviously they have MLB broadcasting rights).
