Can somebody tell me whats up with Japanese and freak fights? I mean why do they attract them? I guess its an interesting spectacle, but haven't we seen time and a time again how they always suck? I mean look at this Sapp vs Akebono 2 crap. Everyone knew it was gonna be shit fight, but I bet many people there were still excited for it. Is there something more to this that I just dont understand? Apparently they always pay Bob Sapp huge payments for these jokes as well
Its always been much more common on NYE than the rest of the year and I think they trade somewhat on the legacy of Minowa who did managed to turn them into interesting size vs skill displays.
The big issue for some of them of course is that US fans have no connection to the guys involved, Akebono just becomes some fat bloke rather than one of the greatest Sumo's ever.
