PRIDE fans in Japan booing and making cat calls

I noticed that in the last few years that PRIDE FC fans will show displeasure in the fight, if fighters lay n' pray...I noticed in the early PRIDE FC's , the fans didn't show displeasure, even in the fights that was boring.

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...

So? They don't boo for stupid things like the fight going to the ground, that's the difference.

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).

Yeah they got really pissed off when Cikatic (sp?) got DQed in the main event against Kerr in an early Pride.

I have seen the Japanese fans do that. and I have never seen UFC fans do that right off the bat. It depends on what was happening in the fight prior to that. When there is a lot of inaction in a fight the crowd reacts when it looks like it is heading back in that direction.
