Totally agree. That's the only real thing that bugs me about the show. I thought that Sly and Sugar Ray were going to hog the spotlight, but they are only in the show for about a total of 5 minutes, the rest of the show is actually about the boxers.

But yeah, only seeing 6-8 minutes of a proposed 15 minute fight kind of sucks. I was actually curious if they would have the fights in their entirety if they released it on DVD.

On a upside note, the finale is going to be live, so that means we get to see the whole fight
