You're not that familiar with boxing or the business of prize fighting. Drama and challenges are what moves the needle. The sport, nor have any other fight sports that are popular on a large scale in the US, ever been purely sport without a little of that type of marketing ever. Never will happen. Doesn't hurt credibility at all anymore than a ball hurts baseballs credibility.

you always get a bit of smack talk between fighters in the run up to a bout but the UFC is clearly moving into the realm of staged histrionics as far as i'm concerned.

jon jones v rashad evans is a clash of two of the top light heavyweights in the world, fight fans would want to watch it anyway. only a single brain celled organism would give a single, solitary shit which one of them is 'keeping it real'. neither of them are, neither of them are street and they come across like a couple of middle class white boys competing to be the most black.

the rock wasn't cool 15 years ago and chael sonnen isn't cool now, they both sound like twats.

No doubt! The Rock wasn't cool? You may be British but that is no excuse Cheeky!

Apparently somebody didnt smell what the Rock was cookin, because everybody else...including non wrestling fans sure as hell did and still are.

hahaha,

i don't see how anyone who is a WWF fan is in a position to talk to me about credibility
