So Blitz sorta answered my question.........I think.
From what I gathered it was nothing more than I suspected? Lesnar = ratings ? |
Bigpapa42 is a handle I use all the time since Big Papa is usually taken on most boards. I'm definitely not against a name change, if that's possible.
And yes, Lesnar basically equaled ratings. You can credit a thin heavyweight division at least partly, but the basic business behind it is that Lesnar is a name that appeals to non-fans who might be interested enough to buy a PPV based on the interest factor. Just like a ton of people tuned in to watch Kimbo Slice on CBS, because they knew the name for his non-MMA exploits. The situations are different in many many ways, but the basic business logic is the same.
Lesnar can give the UFC the kind of crossover star that they really haven't had yet. Chuck Liddell started to do it, but never quite got there into the mainstream. Lesnar might.
