@@Dmgolfer22Disagree, I have purchased every core Sports pay-per-view and for most of them I have had at least one or two newbies over at my place, most of them loved it!
@@metaphoria3 new fans don't buy pay-per-views. Not in arm wrestling or any other sport. Pay-per-views are purchased by hardcore fans like us. Newbies watch the highlights on RU-vid and then if they fall in love with the sport they also buy the pay-per-view. Rob is talking about a problem that doesn't exist.
@@Dmgolfer22 if Devon wasn’t in wal it wouldn’t have brought in near the amount of new fans same as arms wars it takes massive personalities to grow a sport and east vs west/king of the table have done the best best job of promoting and matchmaking!
For the record, i watch armwrestling since EvW 2,so technically the show succeeded in drawing newcomers. And i have never bought a PPV in my life before EvW 2. Yet along staying to watch a show that long. I have many hobbies including E sports, and even for majors Tournaments in E sport i sometimes dont watch it all. EvW is truly special, and i dont believe RVJ comment about the duration about the event is accurate. I don't mind watching for long hours and im new to the sport.
RVJ sounds bitter and miserable. That much is clear. Fans who buy the PPV love getting more when it's the highest quality of competition. It's the best value for money out there. So more is absolutely better in this case. Anybody complaining about the length is either extremely jealous of East vs West or does not know how the pause and play controls work. If this is not reaching new fans, how come they keep selling more PPVs each event? 🤦🏽♂The guy needs to stop worrying about the job of the promoters and start working on becoming relevant again as an athlete.
LOL I dont know if you saw Artem but Engin was pissed at RVJ for saying the stuff at the start by the way. he mentioned it on his podcast on rays channel. Travis saw it coming anyway
Born and raised in Boston I was so freaking pumped to see Rob get that win. He needed that. Just to get those juices flowing. Made it look easy to. I know Brandon is not so experienced, but he is very strong. So it’s a solid win to get back at it
I get what robs talking about being long matches, but what I always do. I ordered the pay-per-view then I wait about three hours. Then start watching it. So I can skip past all the stuff I don’t need to see. By the time I get to live. It’s probably on the last match lol. So as a viewer, I like it a lot
14 matches of 20 minutes is 4 hours 40 minutes Rob although I correct myself you were estimating the 30 minute number with 7 hours I feel like the past 3-5 cards have all been like that too, maybe it is slightly creeping up longer every time though
Comment section missed the point of what Rob was saying. He said near the beginning, “try to get a new person to watch”. Of course we’re all gonna watch it we ALREADY love armwrestling, we’re ALREADY watching haha 😂
Artem, please save this comment so I can win this bet. My picks are: Ichqiti Petrenko Pradines Irakli Mask Taynov Zhokh Procopciuc Samushia Matyushenko Brzenk Muratov Hutchings Kurdecha
I think Alex is gonna make a statement and destroy Artyom. When Alex stayed with D a couple years back D was very very impressed with him and often on podcasts he would mention Alex and that he was a sleeping giant. Now he's back competing I think he will move up quickly and even full strength Artyom will struggle and as far as I've seen he isn't back to his best yet.
disgusting opprtunist and populist personality .. just tell us what the point of using this word .. who did engin call enemy of the Sport ??? You are desperetly trying to create a perseption everywhere we See you like parrot wrinting this propaganda
why they cant just stay away and let us be happy with this most amazing and elite cards of history .. why are people so honourl3ss in the USA they dont care about Moral and ethics just wanna throw mud they even would call his Favorite armwrestler nobody just to spread negativity .. disgrace for humanity
Seeing some of these people say they can watch 7 hours of grown men touching each other is quite embarrassing as a man!! I really like this sport… BUT!! RVJ has a very good point. matches are routinely 30+. And the key to match making is to find an even match. That can go back and forth… so he’s right. Too many matches. And the few that will watch it for 7 hours. Is totally outweighed by ones who won’t!! You want to grown the sport right?? Well don’t bore the public. Get to the big names FASTER!!
How many people like arm wrestling?? Maybe 20 thousand lol… 6 trillion people.. let’s say a million armwrestle lol. You realize that percentage is not even 1% of the population right?!?! What’s the goal of this sport for most of the people promoting it??? To grow…. Just because the arm wrestling nation likes it… doesn’t mean the world like its.. or the casual fan!! And that’s who you are trying to sell this too.. so they can buy it, and the arm wrestlers can get paid.. Such an ignorant comment lol
Engin will never grow his vision to an expanded audience …. And it’s because he thinks like an arm wrestler… Why do I say this?? Well besides how he acts and talks lol. He posts ALL matches on RU-vid a week after event…. NO Buisnessman would do that lol. I don’t see UFC airing there fight on live tv a week after??? Not to mention. Arm wrestling will never attract an audience like main line sports. Not when you have drugs and alcohol present at the time of the events… as well as promoting steroids by calling them pancakes!!! ESPN ain’t coming total with what you currently have!! But what currently is going on, is what attracts guys like me!!! 🤣😂
