Ram Muay on fox

[imported_n/a]

Hammer,
Why dont we see Ram Muay performed on fox.
Take Evo 6 and the Preacher and JWP's combined Ram Muay's for example. Thats powerfull stuff. Now I know you are going to say "time restraints of programming wont allow us" but on Dec 6 showing of Evo 6, Fox gave 50 seconds of the show to a breakdancing group. Id have rather watched the Ram Muay, cause like on the night, its was a powerfull build up to the main fight. Now im not saying show every fighters Ram Muay and possibly not on every show either, just the standout ones would be good to see.

Just my opinion,
Thanks

As has been explained a few times recently, there just isnt enough time to show the Ram Muay on foxtel, If they were to show them, it would mean that alot of fight time would have to cut to fit into the tight schedule that they run.

Here is its explanation in earlier topics

Dont take that tone with me! <img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle>

i dont control the ****, as it looks the only assumption i can make for that, is that either the producers dont care about the Ram Muay and they see it as just another thing that thai's do, just like we dont see the fighters getting their rub down before the fight. Or, they think more of the crowd that watches the fights would rather see something exciting like breakdancing.

Another thing is that, if you show one fights Ram Muay, you would have to show every other fights Ram Muay, which [u]would</u> take alot longer than 50 seconds.

im sure you have missed the entire point of the post. What im saying is, and remember this is only my opinion, is that instead of watching breakdancing on a fight card, I would rather watch a Wai Kru/Ram Muay, but not every single Ram Muay. If you were at the fight, you would know how powerfull the Ram Muay of Preacher/JWP was and the significance of it FOR THAT FIGHT.
Yes I agree that I would not want to watch every fighters Wai Kru/Ram Muay on TV as it looses alot of power by not actually being there, but some just have to be shown. And i think that the one in question should have been shown. If i wanted to waste my time watching breakdancers, I would watch the music channell.

Also my appoligies if my post sounded harsh to you, not my intention.

True, i think it would be good for fox sports to consider chucking in just main events Ram Muay.

i can agree with only main bout wai kru's

Having been there to experience, and i recollect that my post on the night included a HUGE wrap on just how good it was, it SHOULD have been shown and Russ I agree, how many people stayed in the stadium during the break to watch the breakdancers...NOT ME....

The JWP - Preacher Ram Muay was without a doubt one of the HIGHLIGHTS of the night, the tension and psyching out of each other was ENORMOUS..

Oh well, perhaps 1 day Fox might wake up..

Bushi, one might compare that to the Harka before a bledisloe.
And we couldn't delete that shaun, could we???

Another of the most motivating pre event rituals ever experienced..

Maybe, and just MAYBE it might be included in JWP's documentary...if it's not already too late..
