Guys Help me out here

I really don't know jmb. As far as the Kid Thunder thing goes...look at it like a Barnum and Bailey type thingy. For some reason, it makes people I think get amused, and maybe even feel better about themselves looking, pointing, and talking about something far from the norm. Delusion is and can be interesting also. Zelenoff and the whole start and lot of them, yea got a lot of attention and still do, but I doubt it is the kind of attention you'd want, and yet it is exposure...it is a bit of a riddle, no doubt.

I followed the Mack fight quietly, because I've been quiet lately, becuz i know you guys and it got my interest that way. I don't generally watch a lot of tv fights period, soI am not say an average fan perspective. More from a fighters perspective. I tend to need to be personally involved in some way to be really interested, a particular fighter I like, or if maybe it is a much advertised fight, to tune in.

Most on this board know a lot more about fighters in general then me, so there opinions should probably account for more from that fan and history perspective. But that is my perspective. Something really needs to capture my interest for me to tune in. So all I can think, is that maybe you guys as promoters might look at how to attract a bigger audience. Promote, promote, promote. Find cheap ways with large audiences. Shameless promotion is not a bad thing I don't think...especially if it is leading to a performance that is far from shameful. So basically any promotion I think for you guys is a good thing. More then better.

Anyway, was glad to hear Yusaf won, and look forward to his next fight.

That's exactly it. It's a freak show. People are always going to be more likely to stare at the car-crash in the intersection than at the shiny Mercedes parked across the street. If that even makes sense.
