Why don’t Fight Pass fighters get promoted?

[Rebel_LioN]

When you’re televised or on the main card, you get interviews from the media, featured in videos/news etc.

When you’re on the Fight Pass prelims, nothing.

Last week you had a beast like Zabit as the first fight on the night on Fight Pass — even behind Bec Rawlings — and dude was getting no promo but luckily, he got elevated to the PPV due to the Conor incident and since that ‘fight of the night’ performance, I’ve noticed he’s been getting a lot of buzz. Featured on Ariel’s show, people buzzing about how he went to boarding school for martial arts in the mountains.

I read a lot of people on here saying, they’re just trying to promote Fight Pass and get people to subscribe. Where exactly is the marketing though?

You don’t ever see these guys features on Road To The Octagon, Embedded, media day interviews, Twitter/Instagram posts, or whatever. Not to mention, a lot of times when you’re the first fight on the card, the crowd is empty so even fans in the arena haven’t seen you fight. And you’re less likely to win FOTN. If Bochniak/Zabit was the first fight in an empty arena like planned, would it have been the same?

I mean, I’ve seen a few ads when I scroll through Instagram, but again let me reiterate, that ad was for Lobov/Caceres, not Zabit who was behind fucking Bec Rawlings. When you’re featured in a social media post, people start tagging their friends and get excited and reminded about the fight.

So what exaclty is the UFC doing? You want me to buy Fight Pass to watch someone fight but they ain’t getting no shine? Shit is ass-backwards.

UFC doesn't know how to build stars or really promote anyone. They got lucky with Ronda and Conor but that's it.

That’s sad and if they did a better job at it, they’d get more revenue and these fighters would then start to get paid more too instead of fighting for peanuts.

You have to win first?

First slot on fight pass, last slot on FOX Sports 1, and first slot on PPV are usually reserved for what will most likely be high paced fights.

At least that's what I think they're doing.

 

[phatron]

What do you think showing their fight on fight pass is doing you idiot

You think the UFC is gonna have a camera crew follow around Luke Sanders so it can get 3 views on youtube?

Then why don’t they remind the people of the fight?

How does a casual know that it’s going to be a high paced fun fight?

 

[Sonny Qc]

They are too busy Promoting/Building stars like Sage, Perry or PVZ ...

Not sure why you're asking a question on a forum that YOU KNOW won't have an answer for you.

they did with joe duffy to get irish fans to irish people to jump on fight pass and it worked.

now a days they im sure would do it for pvz or dern.

 

[Schoolboy Q]

They’re trying to give people incentive to buy fight pass you fucking idiot, they don’t purposely put big fights on the fight pass undercard, they try to incentivize people to buy fight pass. Don’t you know anything about business?

How would an Irish guy know that he’s fighting on Fight Pass?

Fight Pass as a whole is decent with all the content... But the Fight Night and Pre-Prelims are a joke. Just think... most would have missed the awesome fight by Zabit Saturday Night... Stuff isn't promoted... but seems like we are promised big fights.

See, some of you are saying no one gives a fuck about Fight Pass fighters, and then this jackass is saying otherwise. You’re all dumb af.

And the fuck you know about business? You probably spend all day posting on the Internet and jacking off loser @Schoolboy Q You probably can’t even afford Fight Pass.

I just know how business works, unlike you fucking clueless morons. You might call me a “jacking off loser” but I got laid just fine. Don’t worry about my sexual fantasies bruv, you clearly haven’t seen a pussy in ages.

Everyone would have missed it and he could be fighting Max for the belt in the near future.

I remember Stephen Thompson as the first fight of the night, like how the f didn’t you know he was gonna be good?

Haha, can someone make a CM Punk let's fucking go gif from his weigh in with Mickey. It would be appropriate for post/thread like these.

Why you being negative and calling people idiots on the internet then if you too busy swimming in that shit? I’m having a reasonable discussions on a topic about MMA but you got time to get laid and respond to this post at the same time playboy.

How would an Irish guy know that he’s fighting on Fight Pass?

cause ufc promoted it that way. I cant remember what fight it was might been early in his ufc career before he lost.

You either have It or you don't.

The UFC can only help the process along

they don't build stars, combat sports has never built stars. Stars have created themselves.
