Strikeforce Teaming with Oakland Raiders to Sell Cyborg vs Carano
Tweet
Eddie Graveline of the MMA Examiner has a piece on the unique marketing campaign by Strikeforce to fill up San Jose’s HP Pavilion for the Gina Carano vs Cristiane Cyborg Santos fight:
“If you happen to be a fan of both the NFL and MMA, you’re going to love this. As long as you’re in, or able to get to the Bay Area a couple of times in the near future, Strikeforce has an offer that might be too good to pass up.
The Oakland Raiders/Strikeforce Sports pack allows fans to purchase one upper reserved ticket to the Strikeforce “Carano vs. Cyborg” at the HP Pavilion in San Jose on August 15th and one upper reserved ticket to the Oakland Raiders’ September 27th home game against the Denver Broncos. The total price is $62, which represents a substantial discount off the combined individual ticket prices.”
The Raider Nation is the stuff of legend in their allegiance to their team, so doing a tie in with the NFL franchise is a smart move. Depending on the results of this promotion, Strikeforce should look to make a long term alliance with the Raiders if the numbers for numbers look good. The Strikeforce organization is aligned with the owners of the San Jose Sharks, so a similar tie may already be in place there or possibly in the works.
