Honestly, when I go to boxing or MMA or whatever, I don't usually do much other than clap when something cool happens, but I cannot imagine sitting in a totally silent crowd that couldn't give a shit.Yeah I'm not surprised man, its not right for a sporting event with high energy like WWE, boxing, MMA, etc etc. A big factor that makes these events memorable are the crowd, the atmosphere adds sooooooooooooo much to it all.
If you watch a sparring match where both guys are really going to their max, it gets boring quick, its ok for a few rounds and then your eyes just wander lol. You really need everything else to make it what it is, the crowd is 70% of it.
UFC 112 just seemed so flat to me watching it from TV, I remember having the prelims on thinking everyone was asleep and it was so quiet, but thinking it will pick up as main card comes, but nope, it was the same as the first prelims, no energy or atmosphere.
I was watching one of the WWE Saudi events and they had little kids running down the isles and the whole front rows were just on their phones. Looked like they'd rather be at home.
