CBS blocked out two hours for this thing and then totally unnecessarily ran long with it.
The fact that they packed so much time for presentation and exposition in between the actual FIGHTING made the relatively brief fights look considerably more lame than was necessary. Had they not been playing it up so much it probably would have seemed like a pretty good night of fighting. Even so, I gotta think Les Moonves isn't too happy with the way it turned out: two one minute fights (seeing that showboating Long Island faggot get clocked immediately was satisfying, really), a lousy foul out "tie" ending to what was otherwise an exciting, evenly matched championship fight, and an inconclusive TKO in the main event which revealed in the process that Kimbo Slice has no ground game. The only really good, clean fight that wasn't over in a minute was the girls' and, frankly, I don't think that's what most people were coming to see. Also, a Street Fighter IV trailer.
I also thought it was funny that CBS filled all the city flyover footage with shots of (and references to) New York to distract your attention from the fact that the event was actually in NEWARK. Not New York. Newark. As in New Jersey.
