I hear this a lot..that some of you "mute" the tv to watch the fight.

Are you serious or is that said in jest? I get it..the commentary is shit more often than not but how can you watch a fight in absolute silence? You cant hear the crowd or the weight of the shots etc. The latter is especially important to me.

Does anybody actually do what they say or just say it in order to sound cool? Just makes no sense to me to kill most of the audio excitement in a match.
