    they always make you believe a fight is going to be 50/50 and turns out to be a miss-match. Anyone else a sucker for this?

    Well the whole point is to try to get an audience to tune in for the fight.

    Marketing a fight as a complete mismatch isn't exactly smart advertising...

    Well, that's one of their goals. If they portray it as a one sided fight, some won't watch it. The best example of this was the Barrera/Pacman 2 Countdown show. They tried so hard to make it look like Manny was not focused and was caught up in movies and other stuff while Barrera found a "new" :roll: level of focus/determination that he hadn't found before. They tried hard but you had to be a sucker to fall for it. It's part of the game.
