So the examples you gave aren't really relevant because in MMA like boxing or the NBA, offense is what attracts fans. I'm not talking about the hardcore fans, they will always be there. I'm talking about the casual fans you want tuning in and spending that money.
During his fight with Donaire, the crowd was booing, now I appreciated every minute of it and I'm with you on Rigo's mastery of the sport and his particualr style but they do have to make him viable when it comes to selling PPV's because that's what it comes down to. Getting butts in the seats and selling tickets and PPV buys. Boxing IS a business at the end of the day.

We are hardcore fans, so we can't understand why people can't appreciate that but I'm giving a perspective outside of just us, you have to think like a promoter sometimes.
