[Herm]

CBS card is stacked, im pretty excited for it.

 

[Liquidrob]

lol, I knew this thread would drop like a rock

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

If the Saturday card dont do huge numbers something aint right. I dont think it'll be a hard card to predict per say.. but the intrigue should be there with some of the best fighters not to be established in America are on this card. Gonna be full as hell. Getting this shit for free is a gift.

 

[SHOGUN]

I can't stand Gurgel because he refuses to use his BJJ, but a decent card nonetheless.

November 7th will be epic.

If the show was tommorow, it would be a giant bust. Very little hype, ZERO mainstream buzz.

CBS is blowing this.

Rob is sad, Fight Camp 360 is on Showtime on November 3rd at 9:30pm which is cool, but I did a search for the CBS airing of the show

2:10am Saturday morning on November 7th

WTF?

Hopefully my new Strikeforce avatar will get the masses fired up!

As i've been saying, because of Kimbo, i'm betting CBS has very little money at risk with this deal, and therefore has no incentive to push it very hard.

2:10am, enough said.

lol. nice new avatar and sig rob. did they bump you up to a dime a post now?

which is odd seeing that they actually are paying half of fedors check unlike kimbo who they had no money invested in

 

[Steel Mamba]

Erin Toughill is off the card now due to a medical condition. That's a big blow for womens MMA, that would have been a good fight and the winner was to face Cyborg.

 

[Steel Mamba]

It airs at 9, 2:10 is probably the replay. I've seen a handful of commercials for the event on TV and a fair amount of web stuff so far.

Isnt the other broad the hot looking one that they want to push? Is Toughill being replaced by a can, or is the fight scrapped?

It airs on Showtime at 9:30, the rest of the replays are at good times throughout the week on Showtime, but the are releasing it to CBS to show on network TV and thats the 2:10am showing

They could have picked a better timeslot to hype it on CBS thr station that is airing it

 

[FedEx227]

I don't think this could be advertised less.

I have not heard a single radio ad, seen a TV ad or anything... and I live in Chicago. I saw a billboard on my way TO Chicago advertising it, but that's it.

really? during football on the weekends ive seen ads, usually a couple a day. granted it was the same 15 second spot everytime, at least its something. i guess it is a little odd theres very little advertising near you since thats where the event is.

 

[EmpireWF]

The fights will be good but no way the CBS show brings in new fans or attracts casual CBS viewers.

November 7th sure is packed with free MMA and big names...then 106, to boot.

well, from the early reports is the show is sellin well, I think the sold already 8,000 just a couple weeks ago and the building holds around 11,000, so it should sell out

TV rating, anyones guess now, dont know if there will be a last week blitz or they are just playing it safe and see what the ratings will be

right now they wont get Kimbo CBS numbers but they should beat the other CBS rating when Kimbo and Gina were not on the card

it sucks, but the fight was a swing fight, if they didnt end up showing it because of time it would have been a wasted fight

if the winner was getting cyborg it really needed to be on TV no matter what
