Arum needs to use Orlando Cruz "Gayness" to sell the JMM-Bradley PPV!

I'm neutral (lean towards lefty) but whether you're conservative or liberal you have to admit that Hollywood is mostly liberal. Yes, I agree that underlining the gay issue for the Orlando vs Orlando fight should be a good marketing tactic for Arum. Remember how many non-boxing news sites had articles about Cruz when he came out?

I doubt boxing is less popular among gay people than among those who are not gay. I don't even think there are less gay people among fighters than among those who are not fighters. Maybe Cruz may help the gay rights movement, but I don't know if it is a good idea try to use his sexual orientation to sell tickets (I'm from a country where same-sex marriage is legal and any individual can legally change his / her name and gender identity just because he / she wants it)

Also Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bob Arum, Don King, Adam Sandler. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Britney Spears...must I continue lol But with that being said, to stay on topic. I don't think Gays will watch boxing due to Orlando, not gonna happen. Yea... please do. Hollywood is soo damn liberal Really? You put Bob Arum and Don King in there as Hollywood?

Can Pet Shop Boys do a techno version of the national anthems? Sorry but Orlando Cruz already got his theme song

Jason Collins came out and was supported by Obama and was a hero on twitter. I thought Cruz vs. Saldio was on the undercard of JMM vs. Bradley in Vegas? what do you mean china? obama is a ****ing idiot, a guy is gay so hes a hero??? WTF, wow. And if he had a son he'd look like trayvon... this guy has lost his mind.

liberals? Hollywood is as conservative as they can get, also the media has a conservative bias. Anyways, i would hope that cruz is not used to sell anything, i doubt gay people would still flock to boxing. media is conservative!!!??? Wtf are you smoking

Thank God Also Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bob Arum, Don King, Adam Sandler. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Britney Spears...must I continue lol But with that being said, to stay on topic. I don't think Gays will watch boxing due to Orlando, not gonna happen. That's exactly what boxing needs. Another group supporting a fighter blindly for every reason except because they love boxing. This must be a joke

maybe if he was the main event, but i dont see a bunch of homosexuals buying it just to watch him Its not just homos left wingers or liberal democrats especially those who idolize actors and stuff like that.

Anyways, I would hope that Cruz is not used to sell anything, I doubt gay people would still flock to Boxing. Ok... just because I know we have a lot of non-U.S. citizens that come on here and may wonder what in the hell we are talking about. He is referencing two stereotypes (that became stereotypes because they are absolutely true). Politically, Hollywood (and most of California) is overwhelmingly leftist/Liberal. Secondly, the news affiliates owned by Rupert Murdock (namely, Fox news) lean conservative. However, our mainstream media is overwhelmingly left/Liberal leaning. When meta-analyses are done looking at many polls, our best guess is that the U.S. is about 50% right leaning, 40% left leaning, and about 10% are either undecided or don't care. But two things are as certain as the sunrise... Hollywood is extremely leftwing (moreso than San Francisco or Berkeley, CA) and our mainstream media is generally Liberal. One last interesting fact... on the national level, Fox news garners higher ratings than any other news channel. Not because there are so many conservatives... but because it is the only conservative national news channel. The conservatives get compressed into one news organization, whereas all the other news organizations are liberal.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would find it credible. Thinly veiled opinion covered by the facade of carefully selected facts to support said opinion, that takes none of the whole argument. Fox news is for people who require validation about their one hundred year old mindset. Fox News is as credible as any other news source. We have multiple news stations giving multiple perspectives, nothing wrong there but I agree its not good Fox news tries to fit a narrative, of course 99.99% of news stations do this. I'm interested in your meaning of the 100 year old mindset?

Lol @ people denying the fact that the liberal media is prominent. Hectari is right, they should exploit his gayness to the maximum potential. They should let Cruz train with Bradley and it could help build Bradley up with the hollywood crowd as pro gay athlete who trains with the first openly gay active boxer. It will sell big time, Bradley needs to do this because he has no fanbase, he only had like 50 people show up to his fight with Ruslan, whats worse is there were more people for the undercard fight, once that co main event was over they left and didn't stay for Bradly in the main event. Thats cold.

It would be a smart idea. It would get it extra exposure. I always felt that if Martinez was gay it would have been a great idea for him to come out of the closet before Chavez fight. Turns out he wasn't but still.

as ridiculous as it sounds the liberal media would eat it up and it might work Exactly, the gay stuff is popular among hollywood and the liberal news media like CNN, MSNBC, etc. Look at that sub par NBA player when he came out the closet he made national news and became a hero over night even Obama called him a brave hero braver than the firefighters and soldiers that die. Arum and HBO need to milk this to increase the buys, because bradley has no fanbase.

Yep, with all the Conservative actors such as Clint Eastwood and Ronald Reagan, just saying. I would say the ratio of Hollywood liberals to conservatives is about 80% to 20% in favor of liberals but who cares what it is. I think it would bring alittle more attention to the ppv

I don't think anyone in their right mind would find it credible. Thinly veiled opinion covered by the facade of carefully selected facts to support said opinion, that takes none of the whole argument. Fox news is for people who require validation about their one hundred year old mindset. Whats your opinion of huff post, young turks, cnn and msnbc? I mainly watch those
