White canvas instead of blue. Is it moral?

    It might be good in theory since we can see more blood hit it, but I kind of like the blue one.

    Thoughts?

    I've honestly never really thought about the colour of the canvas before. I suppose a white one would show the blood more, so it would appeal more to casual fans who also like that WWE ****.

    Did it not look weird to you at first when you saw Heavyweight Title fights on it, or were you used to it?

    Looked weird to me.

    blue looks best

    white looks cheap, for some reason. Theres no need to advertise the sport with blood

    What about red? That color gets the blood going and makes people aggressive. They don't paint rooms red because people it makes people argumentative.

    casual fans who watch it for all the "excitment" do

    It's funny when you're sitting in theaters and everyone else makes an orgasm sound whenever some violent **** happens in the movie.

    Whatever colour. Just scrap those decals. Boxers slip and nobody see's them anyway.

    Blue is better than white, and both are better than the horrible light-blue.

    Also, white is old school.

    Regarding canvas's, it grates on me to see the fighters slipping on these ridiculous logo's, I mean, fight after fight you see the corner-men mopping it up the water.

    Soto's was slipping all over the place in his last fight.

    Good call, that **** is super dangerous. I've seen more than a couple boxers slip and fall on 'em and the last thing this sport needs is another contributor to physical injury.
    I guess, but a good punch or highlight from boxing is rarely accompanied by blood imo, most of the blood we see in the game is from butting heads.

    It's immoral especially when they shine the bright lights on it.
