Ok, see your points.
Innovator: When did this Liddell/Tito promo spots go down? I never saw it or heard anything of it. See, what they need is a "show" or anything on TV where you give these guys time to say what they have to say about thier opponent and thier match. Just promoting a match on PPV of "this guy" vs "this guy" really does nothing if you're not a UFC fan.
Yea, Hero, you're right, and that's what I was actually trying to get at. You need these guys to have personalities for people to connect with. I'm sure some of these guys are arrogant jackasses in real life, so have that come across on TV. Maybe the "face/heel." thing is a little over the top, but they to show personality with thier main guys.
And with Ultimate Fighter, I know that people came off as jackasses and alliances developed on the show. But that's a reality show like Tough Enough, with a minimal shelf life.. It's not the "main show." I want to see UFC have a weekly or bi-weekly show. But with how they are right now, kind of exactly like Boxing, I don't see it going a lot further and I would love to see it.
And by the way, Boxing is struggling right now to bring in the casual fans. Its reality TV shows like "The Contender" are doing bad numbers and it's PPV's aren't really that appealing anymore.
