Well I can tell you that 90% of the people I know here in Canada(including people in most of western Canada) know nothing about K-1 and acctually don't know what it is. My gf who my sister got into mma loves K-1 now, she says "I hate that they hold onto each other in mma" and when she watches my Pride dvd's with me she complains about how long it takes for them to break up the clinch lol. If K-1 marketed themselves in North America the UFC would take a serious hit, everyone talks about "who's the UFC's competition" well if K-1 were smart they would be able to easily compete with the UFC and any boxing match. To be completly honest I've seen very few live K-1 events, but since the WGP is so close they are playing a WGP most nights from years past and all I can say is, K-1 should be ruling the world of combat sports, if North American's could watch it lol. (I can't speak for europe since ive never been but please speak if it's the same there)
99% in Eastern Canad dont know what K-1 is. they havent really tapped into our market.
