Where Art Thou Strikeforce?

Did you know that there was a Strikeforce event this weekend on Friday, February 26th on Showtime? Well, there is but there is absolutely no promotion for this event. You'll remember some of the things I pointed out last week in regards to what Strikeforce needed to improve upon if they wanted to succeed. The last thing I said:
The promotion of their events in general need improvement.
The UFC has been dominating the news cycle since Strikeforce held their last show in Miami on January 30th. It's like since that show we haven't even heard from them. In fact, Bellator FC is doing a MUCH better job of keeping their name in the midst by releasing press releases about fighters signing with their promotion as well as future events. What in the world is Strikeforce doing? There are all types of rumors floating around that you've probably read about. I can't confirm any of them so I won't contribute to that, but Strikeforce isn't really coming out guns blazing trying to prove that they are just rumors either. The WEC isn't holding their event for another 3 weeks or so, and they are steady releasing bits and pieces of news to keep their name out there. Strikeforce, if you are going to be the #2 MMA promotion in the world, you really need to step your game up.

They're #2 today
But it’s only because they’re defaulted into it. Depending on how Bellator operates once they get moving, Strikeforce could easily become #3, just for all their clowning around.

Shit….WEC could supplant them as well…I mean why have a Lexus body with a Chevrolet Sprint motor?

This really is mind-boggling. While I appreciate not being inundated with company man/surrogate drivel and constant pimping every single thing UFC (gotta love the DVR), I’d like to see something. Come on SF!

read this on sherdog and just started typing, do not mean to offend anyone, just going from the brain and heart*
from sherdog.com
“Strikeforce "Challengers 6" this Friday at the San Jose Civic Auditorium in San Jose, Calif. Strikeforce has finalized the 12-bout lineup, which includes six amateur fights, and will air live on Showtime at 11 p.m. ET/PT.”
They are putting on a show on Showtime and including six amateur fights?!?!?! Is it just me or is this not complete exploitation. There is absolutely no excuse to not pay the fighters especially when you are nationally televised and supposedly the #2 mma venue. There are plenty of fighters who they could get cheaply if money was a real issue, but to go down this route disgusting!
Bringing this to smaller organizations/promoters as well, to promote the future of the sport and expand the market, the NC Boxing Authority should require all venues to have a certain number of professional fights. An amateur circuit is very important, but allowing someone to profit from the blood of amateur’s and not having them put anything into the next step of their career is not right.
