UFC - paid posters?

I'm getting 3 cents a week from Reebok for my posting. I'm on the higher end, since I've been repping for so long.
 
That's just silly.

Be sure to catch UFC superstar The Notorious Conor McGregor as he looks for redemption against the pride of Stockton and arch nemesis Nate Diaz August 20th @ UFC 202. 10 in the east, 7 in the west, and only on pay-per-view.
 
Online marketing firms, employed sometimes by fighters themselves, do have paid posters here. It became super obvious in 2014 when the idea really caught.on.

It's pretty rare as they see twitter/youtube various website comment sections being more worth the time, because they're reaching a broader audience. But this is a huge MMA site so it's worthwhile, especially when going after fans of the sport(as opposed to fans of individuals).

The most common thing they do is put word out of a fight, gauge the response and act accordingly.

Like how we heard GSP/Diaz vs Woodley get floated, received a shitload of backlash from fans who wanted Wonderboy. They read the response and are now going with Wonderboy.

Not sure why people think its a matter of Dana personally hiring robots. It's taking advantage of a free marketing platform in the easiest way possible; have people talk about it.

You must think there is a lot of value in posting here. How much would a post praising reebok fight kits be worth?
 
Dana offered me a month of free fight pass. Truth.

There's no such thing as paid posters on this forum. Think about it. Way too much honor on the line.
 
Wow guys you have to pick up a reebok fight kit today. I wear mine to the local gym and all the ladies that used to ignore me now flirt with me.
 
I am on a killer deal,

10c to post, 10c to win an argument.

Reebok also sponsor me,

Per 1000 Posts I get .5c
Per 5000 Posts I get 5c
Per 10000 Posts I get 6c

Its great, I only have to put in 20 hours a day, 5 days a week and fly in troll sparing partners and Mcgregor nuthuggers to sharpen my skills at my own expense.

USADA shows up at 5am about 6 times a month to take my blood and urine (the latter of which is easy to obtain as I don't have time to relive myself with this great job). I also have to tell them my whereabouts at all times despite being cleared from the sexual offenders list - I am still treated somewhat like a criminal.....

...Just got a text from the boss, I was never his friend apparently.

Yup, that is what I believed before the paid posters scandal surfaced on the local news. Some politician paid something like 10K euros a month to a group of people to post what she/he wanted on several forums/ facebook, etc.

Pretty much this:

I noticed that most of them have abnormally high post-per-day averages.. ranging from 35 - 55 posts every single day. So I'm guessing UFC shills earning an extra buck on a side to supplement their part time jobs

Viral marketing is nothing new. Zuffa / UFC used to have a lot of them shills posting here on Sherdog.

Now that the owner is no longer Zuffa but WME-IMG, they most likely have a different marketing company working for them.

What I noticed though is that the Zuffa shills were more aggressive and obnoxious with their postings and were a lot more obvious, whereas these new shills (WME shills) are more subtle and blend in more, and are not annoying - at least for now, lol.
 
i wish someone would pay me to post on here, but no i highly doubt it.
 
Just because there's an epidemic of hater bitches whining all the time about bullshit doesn't mean that real fans don't exist. Escape the Shertard echo chamber.

Noticed? You'd have to stalk someone to find out their post per day count lol
 
I knew 2 people from here who got paid to post, but they got banned.
 
I'm sure as hell not getting paid for some of the shit I post :p

I'm surprised they haven't hired a forum hitman to stop me from shitting on Conor, Ronda and Jon Jones all the time :p
 
UFC doesn't need to pay Sherdoggers
We are the underbelly of society
Nobody gives a shit about us or what we have to say
They wouldn't waste money on insignificant assholes like us

I'm not going to put a click bait name thread... The title says it all, do you believe that some posters are paid by someone in relations with the ufc to post about a certain fighter to expand/keep it's hype? I see it quite doable, saturate the forums with hundreds of threads and eventually almost everybody will talk about him/she. This thing has been done before, in my fu#ked up country it happened in politics... and it has been proven in a court of law. Publicity is publicity, doesn't matter if it's bad or good... People are talking about the fighter an she/he gets lots of exposure. OR there are so much "die hard" fans that trully believe this hype and they simply jump aboard? Discuss?



p.s. Please excuse my bad english, not a native english speaker here.

I suspect pretty much all of McTapper fanboys. You can't say that a mediocre manlet that beat up 3 midgets that he is a hero and a God.
