It's just not as big of a marketing draw as the NFL given the sheer amount of attendees and the actual drills that typically take place. Nevermind the NFL being a league that brings in far more money and the overstatement of the combine as "must see TV." The crux here is how in depth the actual medical examinations go. Regardless of what would be reported at the combine, I would assume teams who were refused workouts would have those same looming questions without getting a look up close.
It's true that on the face of it weighing and measuring a ton of prospects seems like the opposite of a marketing draw. But with the right approach any event, even something as boring as someone stepping on a scale, can be turned into something that engages fans.
Nothing like comparing the NBA Draft Combine to one of the most highly anticipated fights of all-time.
