Welcome to If I Did It, where we analyze and solve PR kerfuffles from the MMA world (insert hand gesture) not beyond. This week we talk about Dana White’s boxing viewership, Jon Jones and Meisha Tate, & Brendan Schaub’s new gig on Showtime.
I’m your host, Alexei Auld, author of, “The 7 Secret Sources of Inspiration: A Snappy Guide for Creative Procrastinators” and I’m joined by John Nash and Eugene S. Robinson, from ozy.com and author of “Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You’d Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking”. After the show don’t miss the same crew talking non-MMA PR kerfluffles on the companion show, If The Shoes Fit. Collectively, The MMA Puncholes.
You’re Dana White. You were busted watching boxing, live and in public, if you will, ringside at UFC 222. With UFC TV rights up for grabs, how can you inspire networks to license your content, when YOU don’t even want to watch it yo damn self? – 0:33
You’re Jon Jones. Miesha Tate ethered you on Twitter days after the California State Athletic Commission publicly embarrassed you. Is this part of some MMA PR “Passion Play”? – 4:16
You’re Showtime. Is Brendan Schaub weaponizing his whiteness part of your PR plan to promote his Showtime talk show? – 13:31
REGULAR FEATURE: JOHN’S LEGION OF DOOM – 17:48
REGULAR FEATURE: EUGENE’S LOST BATTALION – 21:15
