Yet a new level to the commercialization of
professional boxing, as if that stack hadn't hit the
ceiling day one!

But I think probably they didn't adapt the commercial
breaks to a sport event (FNF isn't that big buck a
show) and whenever they don't these things are bound
to happen.

I remember a ski jump competition when there were some
technical problems (or the weather, perhaps) and the
competition was delayed, so when the big star jumped
last that wasn't showed, and of course it was the jump
that won the evening.

The newspapers like to write about it the next day as
if it is some huge scandal (inter-media rivalry most
likely) but I can't say it's that upsetting.

It's a nuisance when the media becomes the subject material for the media.
