MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cWhen everyone goes, \u2018Being a promoter is so difficult.\u2019 Really? These kids have zero background! They both decided, \u2018Hey, we both have a following,\u2019 and they did it all their own. I\u2019m sure they lined up with some help to acquire the arena and get the ticket sales and all that, but for the most part two famous guys showed you how easy it is to promote and sell a fight. It is not rocket science. No one is skilled at doing this. We give way too much respect to these promoters. They are not that skilled. It\u2019s very obvious who should be fighting, what fight to make, how to build a fight.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cWhen a fight does not sell, that\u2019s when you realize how shitty a promoter is,\u201d Schaub continued. \u201cWhenever there\u2019s two headline UFC fighters, both those guys are so fucking talented it\u2019s not even funny. For those fights not to sell should not rely on a fighter. That\u2019s where a promoter or the marketing business of the UFC, or name whatever boxing promoter you want, should come into play. It is not the responsibility of them. Them being the fighters.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor these two guys with zero background to shit on any UFC fight this year, numbers-wise, shows you how poorly of a job the UFC is doing at times and how easy it is to promote a fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Schaub thinks that, having seen the audience Logan Paul and KSI drew in, the UFC might be considering some new signings.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople want to hate on these, tell me how this is any different than the UFC signing CM Punk?\u201d said Schaub. \u201cI will wait.”<\/p>\n
\u201cAgain, you\u2019re going down a tricky road because someone in the UFC offices is watching going, \u2018That Logan Paul looked pretty good. How much does he weigh?\u2019 You\u2019re batshit crazy if you don\u2019t think in the UFC office this morning someone went, \u2018We\u2019re just spit-balling ideas here, did anyone see the Logan Paul fight? He didn\u2019t look terrible! What numbers did they do? Better than any card we\u2019ve had this year. Should we sign him?\u2019 I guarantee there\u2019s a spark interest of signing Logan Paul to the UFC.\u201d<\/p>\n
