CBS, Why the heck did I get a telethon instead of the MMA fight?!?!?!?

Question

I am so tired of this c**p from these TV producers, managers, whatever, I aint watchin CBS anytime soon. Can anyone explain this to me? After all the hoopla about MMA finally getting on regular TV and I dont even get it? No stupid answers!!!

Answer 1

I agree that it sounds like a local thing.

But I would also like to give you a little insight:

1. If you really like MMA, this spectacle of what they called MMA would have totally offended you. It was like watching WWE professional wrestling with all the nonsense entrances and jokes of fighters. It took all the years MMA has been gaining respect as a sport and turned it into what skeptics have been calling it for years- No Talent Street Brawling. This was a total joke and I wish I could get back the time I spent watching it.

2. If you really still what to see what happened after my first point check here:

This site is awesome! Any time I miss a fight I check here the next day and I watch it. The best MMA video site I can find!

PS-- The girl's fight was the only fight worth watching. And Kimbo fight seemed super rigged. If you watch it, you'll know why by the golf ball sized cauliflower ear of James Thompson.

Answer 2

It sounds like your local CBS affiliate went with local programming rather than national programming. They do have the right to make that decision. You should call the station and complain about it on Monday, or visit the station's website and see if you can file a complaint via e-mail or over the web.
