Where does the UFC go from here in terms of building stars?

is it all on Bones Jones now? Or do they finally start marketting their actual best fighters (Luke, RDA, DJ, Robbie) and not spending 90% of promotion on 2 ppl?
 
Stop building them? Sounds like a great plan for a business.
 
So you missed the Unstoppable press conference?

The ufc does the same shows and press conferences for every event. The only one that was out of the ordinary was the aldo/mcrgregor world tour.

What is the extra advertising push that these other fighters are getting?
 
They should build khabib
 
Ronda could be back on top if she beats Tate again which is likely.

Conor is still champ and undefeated at FW so back to killing his body for his fame and glory.

PVZ and Sage are still young and have a lot to accomplish in this sport.

the UFC shouldnt try to build stars

the stars should build themselves by winning fights

by trying to create stars they are just putting undue pressure on young fighters
 
They have jones, khabib, cruz, edgar

so many potential stars but they will always choose the biggest loudmouth (ronda, Conor)
It's not who they "choose" unless you think they wanted to go the entirety of 2014 with bad buys and they enjoy losing money for fun.
 
To the nuclear powerplant. To do some fusion or something. Colliding atoms together. Or whatever the process of making stars is.

Its the UFCs job to promote their fighters. Conor and Honda have been getting the vast majority of promotion. DJ keeps winning and dominantly, and is a far better fighter than Conor or Honda combined yet dude gets no promotion.
 
maybe in the future but I don't think humans will be able to build stars until we have the technology.

Why did Disney spend more money advertising Star Wars than The Finest Hours?
 
I don't think they ever actually built them. Some go on an impressive run of wins and fans take notice. It is after a run of wins or good performance outside of the UFC that gets the UFC talking and promoting.

They promote people that are winning impressively, they don't build them.
 
Have you not looked at the internet lately? Conor is EVERYWHERE. His star power shines even greater than it did before his loss. It boogles my mind. But people will continue to follow Conor good or bad. Once you capture the general publics attention unlike Shertards they actually stay interested win or lose.

He gets promotion relative to the amount they think he is going to draw. It's why Universal Pictures is going to spend more money on advertising Fast & Furious than Hail, Cesar. I would also argue DJ is far more promoted than more popular non champion fighters.

His confidence is crushed and his Napolean complex is exposed even more. Doesnt help his next fight is likely Frankie who is gonna completely curbstomp him

Its all downhill from here
 
They're going to build a Joanna hype train next and I'm going to love every second of it, she really has star potential.
