Brock speaks and the MMA world listens
Regardless of what you may think of Brock Lesnar, he is probably the biggest draw in MMA. He clearly isn't the biggest fan favorite but apparently that hasn't diminished his marketability.
During Brock's medical hiatus from competition, the UFC ppv money machine has struggled a bit. Many will relate the decreased numbers to lack luster cards, the injury other big name fighters, the economy and other factors. Those issues are certainly relevant but the fact remains.
When Brock Lesnar fights a large number of people pay to watch.
Mr. 'pay-per-view' has news conference scheduled for 11 am EST on ESPN"s Sports Center to discuss his health and future.
I understand why he's on the 'world-wide leader in sports' but I also find it more than just a bit ironic that he is giving this HUGE exclusive to a network that has historically shown very little love to MMA.
Get well soon big guy! The sport and more specifically the UFC bank account needs you.
