Gotcha on the length of the weigh in. That is all TV and pyrotecnics (sp). I understand that. If you have ever been to any televised sporting event, TV really makes it time consuming. If you really want fun, go to a live pay-per-view boxing match. They spend an hour before the main event and most of the time you are listening to them introduce celebrities...big name people like Mr. T and others LOL.
