Mooi, kijken hoe dit uitpakt

Mooi nieuws, ESPN is een zeer grote sportszender in de States.

Was glory milan niet live uitgezonden op spike nederland?

Ik ziet nu de herhalingen te kijken op spike tv. Ze zeggen dat ze glory amsterdam live uitzenden?

[blackadder]

Zoiets werd wel gesuggereerd in een video interview.

Moeten ze wel op ESPN of ESPN 2 komen. ESPN 3 kan lang niet iedereen ontvangen en kijken weinig mensen naar. Maar goed begin en ESPN besteedt ook steeds meer aandacht aan MMA. Dus misschien kan Glory in de slipstream mee....

[BIG Lebowski]

Niet zo'n mooi nieuws. Hierdoor kan Glory doorgaan met wereldkampioen te worden van Amerika.

ESPN 3 is geen tv-kanaal, maar een website/stream.
