If you saw the Nevada Athletic Commission hearing on Tuesday you realize that the press conference brawl doesn’t add as much as a smack in the wrist — as some anticipated — but more like a force to the economic teeth. And additionally that reality is clearly fiction, and so “reality.” Now, the NAC hearings are the success show of Fight Pass, the UFC’s digital streaming service for the fights and play. We are able to laugh and shout combined with cast, from the ever-forgiving grandpa figure Bill Brady to the no nonsense Anthony Marnell III to the recurring cameo role of Floyd Mayweather as Floyd Mayweather, whose lines are almost always hilarious. Mayweather again appeared prior to the commission, this time to sort of chat about affecting footage on Showtime’s “All Access” program, which aired before he fought Marcos Maidana on Sept. 13. In the event you presume Mayweather has elaborate footwork in the ring, you need to see him in the court. My buddies, he’s a vaporman. A totally untouchable hologram. Only a nine-amount mirage. Did I mention he understands the best way to make use of the Force? (SPOILER ALERT in the event you truly do not understand). (Because he does!)On this episode of the NAC’s on-going hearing set, he and CEO of Mayweather Promotions, Leonard Ellerbe, told the commission that everything they’d seen in the reality show was of course constructed fiction, from the 31-minute “dog house” rounds to the pot the remora smoke throughout the shark himself. Imitation, fake, and more imitation. Everybody understands that reality shows are only fiction and that fiction is wild in reality, anyhow, simply look around at all of the fake people doing imitation things — plus, there are editors bending reality into fiction that will be made conscious of, it is a slick gotdamb slope.”You Have acquitted yourself well,” harrumphed commissioner Skip Avansino, no slouch in regards to differentiating between B.S. and…well, I think non-B.S. I am suggesting, within the course of the season the banter involving the boxer as well as the Nevada commission edges on bonhomie! So great. Can not wait to see how these characters grow. That brought matters around to the instance of of the Daniel Cormier-Jon Jones UFC 178 press conference brawl, the one that occurred in early August and turned a rather powerful title fight right into a viral high fiving can not-miss mega-event. Jones went first. He asked for leniency in the issue. The NAC saw the footage of what went down in the MGM Grand foyer, subsequently deliberated on the UFC champ’s participation for over 48 minutes and change. Throughout that time they attempted to determine a suitable punishment for Jones — commissioner Pat Lundvall even went up to now as to inquire Jones what should be the punishment for Jones — before ultimately framing a motion. Jones clarified that he had already been coping in the repercussions of the brawl, beginning with Nike drawing its endorsement deal with him. He seemed “contrite” for his part in the brawl, in the impact on down to the consequences, and Brady pointed out this display of contrition had “softened” his heart. If Fight Pass ever decides to play scripted sitcom laughter over these event, this could happen to be a nice spot to make use of it. A hug between Jones and Brady would happen to be a great “awwww” moment, but in this reality show the producers showed admirable restraint. Anyway, the verdict: Forty hours of community service in Vegas, as well as a $50,000 fine. Since a press conference brawl was (comparatively) new to the commission, they wished to create an impression to discourage copycats. “To permit it to go with no more than the usual smack to the hand will be an offense to those that run themselves gentlemanly,” said Avansino, a little overly 19th century because of this court. (But throw in certain situation comedy applause? That line could have been perfect!).Next they brought up the competition Cormier, who used the self defense shield, building a claim he was simply reacting to some hazard when Jones set his brow on him. Brady wished to understand if “Cormare” had “wrassled” in school, and Cormier said did he ever, boy, and he could tell you a few stories! And he did. After about an incident using a wrestler from Iran, and another having a man who poked his eye. Cormier was not as contrite as Jones, but he was not uncontrite either. He talked about having lost some of the children in his wrestling course, in addition to the humiliation the event had caused him elsewhere. “I do not enjoy people being disappointed in me,” he said. “It sucks.” Marnell wished to understand why he went on FOX later and said that he had do it the same way again, and Cormier talked about an “avocado room” in which chit chat amongst combatants takes place (or something similar to that), and this was a reasonable solution. He also spoke about an encounter with “Bigfoot” Silva, which a number of the commission settled in for like it was a campfire story. Turns out it was not. That component had really occurred. Because it had been decided that Jones was more culpable in the brawl for inciting the shove and for that reason inciting the brawl, Cormier was given a reduced sentence. For his part he got 20 hours of community service, which he can do in San Jose where he trains, and was fined $9,000, which is ten percent of his fight purse. As expected, the January 3 fight involving both remains on. Jones and Cormier were given fines and community service. Later on, the recently retired combatant Wanderlei Silva was banished forever from fighting in Nevada and socked with a $70,000 fine for the Houdini performance he pulled in May when presented with a random drug test. And Mayweather, who’s fast becoming a fan favorite with this reality show inside the reality show, made off along with his real life entourage after describing that fact is, actually, only “truth.” Is it? Hell if I understand, but after Tuesday’s hearing I can not help but believe he is onto something. Stay tuned.
