Cable News and the UFC

September 19, 2009

In this down economy, it’s been kinda hard to make decent money the old fashioned way (earning it), so I’ve been on the lookout for new opportunities…

With the Ultimate Fighting, Mixed Martial Arts being the fastest growing TV Sport – seems to me there may be a “Perfect Storm” of opportunity here.

I mean, the 3 major cable news channels – Faux, CNN, and MSNBC commentators seem to be going at it verbally almost every night now.

Case in point -

Admittedly the Faux News trio of O’Reilly, Beck, and Geraldo do come off as a bunch of “girly men” to quote the Terminator – but Bitzer and Cooper aren’t exactly big guys – and Larry King is as old as dirt. So they put in Sanchez. MSNBC has Shultz, Matthews, Olberman, and Maddow…

Who quite frankly could probably smack all these dudes around without breaking a sweat. So MSNBC gets to hold her in reserve, in case Olberman breaks a fingernail, or Faux can convince Maliken or Bachmann to step in.

This could be bigger than the Super Bowl!

Warm up the Octagon!
