The Real Deal did NOT have a lot of empty seats

I want to clear this up because I was there live.. For the first 10 or 15 minutes, there was quite some empty seats. The camera reflected it and I thought people would make this mistake of getting that impression. However, it just turned out that people were late. By the 2nd matchup, the place was nearly PACKED. Empty seats were scattered here and there but for the most part, that place was nearly sold out. At the END of the show, right after Fedor beat Coleman, people started leaving right away because if you were to walk outside of the arena, you would've seen that the taxi lines stretched as far as the eye can see. So yea, on camera, the arena looked like it was barely packed when Fedor got on the mic, etc. So yea, I just wanted to clear that up because I've been seeing too many fucks saying "oh, the show was a flop they didn't sell shit and there were a loooot of empty seats". Well, I was there and I can tell you otherwise. Maybe it's just because I was there live, but I can tell you that every negative comment I've read about this event did not reflect what I saw and experienced when I attended The Real Deal live..

If only it was a match between the two best current 175 pounders today, Matt Hughes and Royce Gracie. That would have been much better.

Are you kidding? Tito vs Shamrock 4? Tito is 3-0 on Shamrock and Shamrock retired, he knows he is past his prime and is unable to compete with Tito. the 4th would end very much like the last 3.
