Example: Kerr Vs. Herring, the beginning of the fight Kerr didn't do anything the fans in japan was getting restless, and starting making cat calls, and some booing...
I was suprised that Takimoto got booed against Yoon Dong Sik after the decision...

true. I ahvent seen as much Pride as UFC but it seems there is a longer tolerance for inaction by both fans and refs in Pride. A lot of times, though, some crowd reaction is warranted in either organization. They are there to fight as entertainment, more than just to score a win (Bas said this too). I respect fighters a great deal but at the same time the sport would never make any money f it was always just 10 minutes of a guy in closed guard throwing little arm punches.
So I dont mind booing, i have only seen a few times where the UFC booing was way out of control (like booing in the first minute).
