    Well, I don’t want to get into that. I don’t know OP’s feelings about it. But in a general sense, I don’t have a problem with cameras rolling in the dressing room after a fight. Let the fans see what it really all entails. You don’t play boxing. These warriors lay it all on the line. They’re gutted after a tough loss.

      Don't disagree - but it's a sensitive era.

      It's not a new thing. Eubank after he got smashed by Thompson in the 90s. Spinks after Tyson destroyed him. etc etc etc. Nobody complained, they appreciated the warrior.

      All I'm saying, is that on NSB at least, it's not consistent faux outrage. Only certain fighters do they complain about it.

          Danm your right. I just realized it's a top rank/espn thing.

          Didn't they also follow berchalt as he was on a stretcher getting onto an ambulance? Also that one PR guy chon Zepeda knocked out too

            Nothing wrong with that. I like how they show the entire drama. Pre fight build up, post fight, it’s good to show the journey.

              The Bob father knows how to suck people in and get them emotionally invested. Times have changed, people need their sports athletes to be entertainers drama and all.

                Don’t forget Jinkee crying after Pacquaio got knocked out by Marquez

                At that point it wasn’t certain he wasn’t dead.

                  I didn't know he broke down after the fight. I am consistent. They shouldn't ever show that.

                    I think it's pretty low to show a man at his lowest moment like that. There's no honor in that. He left and went to the back. It's not like he broke down in the ring. He saved it for privacy and they invade his privacy to make a show out of his misery. Very low.

                      Definitely a scumbag approach. Not a fan of that. And I was rooting for Espinoza.
