I reckon over 95% of sports fans in this country wouldnt even know what SoO was, never mind want to go watch it.
people dont know about it.
thats where the marketing comes in.
and because its different to what soccer or union can offer the public, people might say, wow, ill give this a chance
the kind of people that normally dont give RL a lot of time.
when you want to introduce new people to RL, its the best way to do it.
ive seen it happen year after year basically since its started where you go wow, this stuff is amazing.
if people like what they see, they might get hooked on the RL bug.
