Elite XC Talking heads, clueless???

Question

There were a number of "celebrities" ringside at the Elite XC primetime event. A number of these people work for rival organizations. Did CBS intentionally not recognize them or are Gus and Frank too dumb to know any better?

Answer 1

The EliteXC play by play men were terrible. In the beginning of the show, they made it seem as if Kimbo was the best thing since sliced (no pun intended) bread. Then, when he was in trouble on the ground, they turned on him, and basically called him incompetent. Then when the ref stopped the fight, they made it seem like the ref gave Kimbo a big break. They need better commentators. They need better everything.

Answer 2

Personally, I could care less who is at ringside, the best part about saturday night was...FREAKIN MMA ON NETWORK TV!!!! I didn't care who fought all I know is that the greatest sport on the planet was on network tv this past weekend. Granted the fights sucked except for Gina Carinna's fight and the British dudes ear exploding after a Kimbo Slice right cross. Here's what I got out of the night...If your a new or casual fan of MMA and you think this was a poor showing..then keep watching, it will get better I promise. The UFC has it down to a freakin science. If I was someone at NBC or ABC I am calling Dana White 24/7 till he picks up and tell him we want to show fights once a month or so on the channel. MMA is not going to go away..like most people thought it would. Give Elite XC sometime and let them work the kinks out, its the first show cut them some slack...and by the way..stupid MMA fans in New Jersey..what the h**l gives you the right to boo these guys during a fight?? You cant go into a fight and start swinging your gonna get put to sleep..they gotta feel each other out and set up there next strike or take down...there should be no booing in MMA unless a fighter gets screwed out of a win or a chance to continue( Scott Smith got screwed). Eithere way, MMA was on network tv and its here to stay.

Answer 3

elite xc is a joke, they are not in it to progress the sport they are just in it for $$$$$

Answer 4

who was watchin

Answer 5

I think they intentionally didn't recognize them. Plus with all the buzz going around on fixed fights, I'm sure they didn't much care on much else.
