HT: MMAPayout, Strikeforce

CBS and Strikeforce have released new promos for the Strikeforce Nashville event taking place on April 17th.  The footage for this promo is the ad spot being shown during the NCAA March Madness tournament, introducing Dan Henderson, Jake Shields, Gilbert Melendez, Shinya Aoki, and Gegard Mousasi to the CBS audience. The other video is a ticket sales ad spot for the Nashville event on 4/17. The last video is a promo for their new Strikeforce Nashville Event Website.

From MMAPayout:

Airing the CBS ads during the NCAA tournament, which have an average audience of 10-12 million viewers and is expecting a higher viewership for tonight's championship game, is a definite positive for Strikeforce.  Along with the NCAA tournament, Strikeforce will debut their MMA brand along with some of their most marketable fighters on NCIS: Los Angeles tomorrow night on CBS, which has an average audience of 12-16 million viewers.

The only one they’ve been showing is the first one.

I can understand the second playing in the Nashville area, but other then that, I’ve not seen the other two in the whole tournament

Gregard?

Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.

Ha...

Didn’t notice that…that’s an old vid, so may have been fixed when airing on CBS. Just posted it now.

OK, good, I coulda swore that’s what I saw on the commercial the other day but it went by so quickly I wasn’t sure. So no Supremacy, they didn’t fix it before it went on air.

lol CBS

yeah go ahead and misspell the LHW champ’s name in a promo, that’ll show them how much you care about MMA.

No love for Lawal on the new one...

They mention every main card fighter but him…

Good to see they are stepping up the promotion and getting some decent videos produced.

Hendo looks kind of out of shape in that video.

Do not want to see that.

Tried to set my DVR on the 17th to catch this and the UFC replay only to find that our local CBS affiliate is showing a telethon that night. Anybody want to bet whether I give any money?

Lucky for me I live in an area that has multiple affiliates of the big three to switch to when one decides to do something like that. If you have a fairly new TV and live in an area with more then one major city within 50 miles you may be able to get a digital antenna and catch another cities local broadcast.

The next closest affiliate is 2.5 hours away.

Too bad it’ll be so tough to actually watch it with its constantly fluctuating schedule that varies from region to region.

The Strikeforce ads suck but

I think people are missing who the target audience is for: the CBS audiences not mma fans. Look at the design, they resemble spots for CSI or any other CBS show. It’s something familiar to these people,so they won’t be put off or feel uncomfortable about checking out. In act most viewers will probably be thinking to themselves maybe I’ll watch that UFC fight tonight on CBS that I saw the ad for, when they do tune in. So in a sense I think they’re probably pretty effective spots.
