[QUOTE="Eight, post: 2831913, member: 73370"] traditional content is struggling with ratings and the media outlets are looking for new avenues and lets not forget that espn has committed $100M to fury over 5 fights. espn has overpaid for team sport content and blown money on programming decisions and they need to make the mouse happy. i guess that means bringing fox into the mix to drive up the attention, but i don't find this a compelling fight with the way i found some of the tyson fights in the heavy weight division or the great fights with leonard, hagler, hearns, etc... i keep waiting for steve austin to suddenly appear with a folding chair with this one and the more the media keeps telling me this is a big fight the less appealing it gets to me. maybe i am too old to understand the need for hype me, but experience has told me that you don't have to overly sell great events and i watch a number of such "big events" with the sound off so maybe i am too damn old for the sporting world anymore [/QUOTE]
