Let your voices be heard on this abortion of an mma show. Not the fighters' fault, just horrible formatting. There was under an hour of actual fight time (including 2 unaired fights) in a 3 hour time slot. Name one other tv show of any kind that has a worse ratio of programming vs commercials, ads, plugs, filler talk, etc.
However, ask them nicely to air the Fickett/Neer and Florian/Karalexis fights on the Unleashed show very soon. There was no excuse to not show these fights.
You got to watch the UFC and MMA on FREE tv and your still going to complain????
Damn, no matter what you do you can never make everyone happy.
They had to do it that way to pay for this show, it was the first event like this, give it time. If anything, email Zuffa and Spike TV and thank them and ask them for more.
55 mins of total fight time (including unaired fights) in a 3 hour time slot. I have never seen a worse ratio of actual programming vs advertising in ANY type of tv show, eva.
I figured I'd post that for you since you've spammed about 20 other fucking threads with it.....
You're welcome.
Thanks for saving me a couple right clicks brianmeyers.
You guys seem to complain more about the complainers than the complainers themselves.
I am thankful that live mma has made it to free tv, but this show was just so disappointing. I kinda felt sold out. Us mma geeks will watch no matter what, but many newcomers and casual fans may have been turned away from all the ads, self promotion, and filler talk.
Networks do this shit all the time during award shows, movies and live events.
Any show where the viewer will wait to see the outcome will be loaded with ads. We just noticed it more at this event because we're not used to it on the PPVs' and they kept running the same ads over and over.
