Old Fashioned Professional Boxing Brand Getting K-O'd by New Generation MMA Excitment

Calzaghe: Boxing is dying, MMA on the rise
Undefeated Welsh boxer says MMA, lower interest in US points to demise





Joe Calzaghe believes boxing is on the ropes, with too many champions and few real stars.

Still weighing whether he'll retire after beating Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr. this year to remain unbeaten in 46 fights,

"I think boxing is a dying sport. Globally — in America for instance — you've got UFC, which has taken a lot off boxing, business-wise,'' Calzaghe said, referring to the mixed martial arts Ultimate Fighting Championship.

http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/28162024/

There's a new generation of youth being raised into the MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) scene and it's causing the boxing brand to be an old fashioned hard sell for mature audiences only.

Since the heavy weight division- that was once the NFL of boxing lost its major quarter back fighters, other weight divisions stepped up and took the crown, making room for box office ticket household name Superstars, such as Oscar Delahoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. But these two giants are semi-retired and other fighters don't carry enough star power to carry an audience in demand every month like these two mega-stars.

The younger crowd coming up as the new consumer in demand, they are drawn into more violence- vis-a-vis video games, youtube street fights and films even seen in PG13. Therefore the UFC and other me too generic MMA brands manufacture what the blood thirsty customer wants.

In conclusion, foot-ball is more physically aggressive than basket-ball and base-ball. MMA-fights is more physically aggresive than boxing-fights and wrestling-fights. Football and MMA is more exciting and gets audiences pumped. If sports matches are stale, then there will be few audiences to attract attention as with golf, only with Tiger Woods being the exception because he's exciting and intense to watch, as well as a celebrity household name. It's never boring to watch people you admire, but crowds don't flock to hockey or tennis matches because they're to gender marketed, as well as segregated unintentionally.

In closing, another note is that boxing doesn't have a home crowd advantage like other sports teams, which build a large enough fan base in their hometown like the UFC does. Boxing can learn from these effective strategies of developing boxers to become popular in their own hometowns and then allow them to compete as teams against other states. This way they could build larger audiences in each state which would make for more competition against state teams. Even states root for their College teams to beat the other states because it makes states competitive and become proud of their hometown.

In short, Why "Big Idea" with Donny Deutsch got Donny Ditched?

Or at least it falls into our "Stone Age Brand" of out of touch, since it's a shocking dissapointment to millions of viewers, which a majority were entrepreneurs, executives, CEO's, as well as startups and angel investors. It was a great place for startups to pitch their ideas and recieve free PR worth millions. So what happened?






It all comes down to the last season of the show. They had too many changes and got off topic. During the election campaign season of 2008, the topic of the show geared towards politics and other off topic non business subjects. (Defending critics may have other theories like- "he moved on to do a one motnth show called 'Entrepreneurs' because he wanted a change and gave up his celebrity status with a show being called by his own name). Yeah right! Only Oprah can afford to pull a stunt like that. I'm a colleague in the same field as Donny and admire his character, this doesn't change the fact that CNBC pulled the show off the air when Donny wasn't willing to walk away.



Big corporations left-brain thinkers like CNBC may have interfered with trying to boost ratings for the program. Not to mention that it came on everyday on weekdays, which spreads the audience thin- whereas the viewers could have made up one large number if the show was aired one night a week.

This is what occured with "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", when it lost it's popularity, because the show aired everyday, while the audience was scattered- being almost impossible to capture the same viewers attention each day with the same scenario. It's more exciting and builds the suspense overtime when the audience missess a show for some time, whereas they will appreciate it like "24" or "American Idol."






The same issue is predictable with basketball and baseball as well, for this reason is why football is more popular, because it airs usually one day out the week- some Mondays but not everyday like baseball and basketball.

We'll see later why the show "Survivor" lost the popularity of some of its surviving audiences, but not due to everyday programming. Hint: Hype!

Age of Flintstone Brands:Out of Touch

BARONE: Big Three are relics of the past

But keeping the Detroit Three in their present form, with their extravagant health-care benefits and the union's 5,000 pages of work rules, is an exercise in preserving in amber the America of the past.
