You really think Dick and Garrow are down there don't you!!??
good stuff
Great post ALLOTTI. Trajectory is our "secret weapon". As soon as they go to work, this channel will be on DirecTV, I think TFN just needs to expand their programming for the US. Remember, the deal with PRIDE FC is just for exclusive Canadian rights.
I've mentioned this several times..it really doesnt make any sense. A banner ad on sherdog.net or any other MMA message board or magazine would create a buzz and increase demand for the channel. Not a good sign.
Also, not a good sign that they did not have a booth at the National Show in Atlanta this past weekend. Its the biggest cable TV exhibition in the country and the fact that they did not attend speaks volumes.
I'd like to see 30,000 subscribers to that PPV which would bring in close to 450k revenue/20%, would be 90k in revenue for BKMP.

In english: he threw 100% of his bankroll into BKMP, he is expecting a double out of it (100% gainer. He wants to dance.
You lost on EKWX....big time!!
Is that why you are so Bitter??
The National Show in Atlanta this weekend would have been an excellent opportunity for TFN to rub elbows with US cable execs. However, they are not on the exhibition list. Dissapointing....
not a chaaaaaaance!!
Are you a good investor???

MMA is growing faster than gayness is right now Snake. We are in the right sector, just hang in til August. The show hasn't even started yet.
Either way you spin it, its not good. They should have paid the fee and got a booth if they are serious about getting into the US.
Exhibitor List (NO TFN)

Another blown opportunity for TFN????????

With all due respect, this one hasn't even started yet, BOB. The network is 6 months old!!!!!!! There will be a series of 3-5 PR's that announce US carriage in the next 6 months. Coupled with news of subscriptions, PPV revenue, and advertising revenue to come out we are looking at least 3 more spikes with the final spike taking us into multi penny land. As long as OS stays under 10B we should be OK.
ALL IMO OF COURSE.
Where is Varok? I'd like to see his take on yesterday's fiasco.
I doubt it..use the next 3-4 months to accumulate, this thing is going to be big, but not until the MM's scare all the rookies, and impatient folks out of their position.
welcome aboard!
What are you thinking? Are they going to be announcing a reality type series on these UFC fighters that will be in attendance to air on TFN????? St. Pierre is a star in the making and Canadians in general love violence, (hockey, wrestling, MMA). Seems like a good fit.
What are you thinking? A reality type TV show (to air on TFN) involving the UFC fighters that will be in attendance at the newsconference?
We gotta get a hold of Varok...he'll know what happened today.
They are our PR firm.
YOU ARE A PHONY!!!
OEB just dropped a bomb on us. Dana White, the top dog at the UFC and a man of great charisma and public appeal (think a bald, white Don King) is coming to Toronto for UFC day. Guess who is hosting UFC day? You guessed it, good 'ole Sandy Winnick and TFN.
Well the majority of MMA is already on mainstream TV channels like ESPN (K1), Fox Sports Net (IFL adn Pride) and Spike TV (UFC). Don't you think the fact that it is legal in Calif. and NJ as a positive sign that MMA is being accepted as a legitimate sport? PETA is a strong lobby group, but there are channels dedicated to hunting.
I won't do it..just brainstorming ideas to get publicity for TFN. I'll trust your judgement and the fact that you said you have 20 years of background experience in broadcasting.
already a post about it there.
I tell you what you need to do..email ESPN Outside the Lines and act like a concerned parent. Say you were made aware of a 24 hour MMA/Combatant Sports channel now broadcasting in Canada that is likely on its way to the US. Ask Outside the Lines if America is ready for a 24 fight channel and how it will effect children. The publicity for TFN would be incredible.
http://webdecal.com/index.shtml These would be even better..
GETTFN.COM 24 Hour Combatant Sports Channel
Does it seem strange to anyone that TFN doesn't place banner ads on any of the MMA web sites and message boards? Or place ads in the MMA monthly magazines? It almost seems like they are trying to keep it a secret. Very odd. I mean, what's a banner ad cost, 50-100 bucks for some sites???
I wonder if we should let the MMA fanatics on sherdog.net and t-nation.com know about this event. They might want to attend.
It hasn't even started yet! Check back in August and you'll be amazed at the progress. People overestimate what can be done in 6 months but underestimate what can be done in one year. Let Trajectory flex their muscle and give them time for their efforts to compound. They know all the key contacts at Comcast and DirecTV and already delivered the CFL to the US.
I posted another message regarding UFC Day on 4/7 at t-nation.com
Yes, but Sandy and Mike's hockey buddies and family/friends want to buy in too. I'm talking ALL INSIDERS need to finish their buying spree before it spikes.
Good point, but that would risk spiking the PPS, would it not?? I'm sure that news will be released when they are done accumulating.
bump the thread on t-nation.com..I saw you posted last week on there--kudo's.
see my previous post..stop worrying--you placed your bet, take your loss like a man.
