Fair point regarding MMA but I am talking about media exposure not individual show attendance although you would think that if a big show like the WBC event was on people would save their money and come to that. It didnt happen last time. However Cage Rage have had to move out of that venue and into a bigger one because it has been banged out.
The smaller MMA and MT shows can be both well attended or badly attended. Both suffer sometimes. But where it really counts (in an exposure sense) is beyond that. MT is still a long way behind.
That said it has to be noted that recent events have been on a much grander scale in MT and there have been some great shows. But I think I said the same in late 80's when the picketts lock events etc took place. The lack of consistency wasted that previous opportunity.

The judging issue could rage on indefinately so who is going to take the bull by the horns and settle it - and who is going to support the actions of that person or persons.
Of all the MT shows that grace our TV screens not one has ever outlined the scoring criteria for the paying public.
MMA and K1 have surpassed MT because the scoring is simplified.
