If HBO shows such a lack of class again...

The families of these fighteres weren't FORCED to be at the fight...if you show up at the venue then you are fair game IMO....let that be a warning to all other fighters.

Yes, but the producers still have a choice to show the family during the tense and sad moments of the fight or not. Why they have to show children crying in a boxing match is beyond me. I want to see a fight and not a movie. I guess the producers think there are those in the audience who like to see the drama of children crying after seeing their dad all bloodied and defenseless. I pity those who do.

It is ok to show two men violently punch each others faces in, but when you show a child crying, that's were it crosses the line?

No offense, but quit being such a big pussy Halo.

That is exactly my point. I am watching a boxing match where "two men violently punch each others faces in". I am not watching daytime television. So why show a child crying?!? O yes..the melodrama of tears falling down the cheeks of children ladida ladida. Am I the pussy then? If I get pissed seeing crying children interrupting people killing each and that is what you brand as being a big pussy, then I just may be one. Actually, I'd rather see one than be one... wink wink
