Sports journalists and reporters, at times, put a lot of hype in to certain sporting events. This is for viewers to not only watch the sporting event but also to follow the story leading up to the event itself. However, there are times when the hype is just too much.
Take this year's NBA playoffs. There was a lot of hype about how competitive it was going to be but in the end the powerhouses were the ones reigning supreme. Another disappointment was the second season of the Cleveland Caveliers' dominant season coming to an early end. He just can't do it on his own.
Next is the supposed UFC Match of the year, Rashad Evans vs Rampage Jackson. It was boring. A lot of people thought that it would one for the ages, instead it was just a technical bout no highlights what so ever.
Another is the 2 boxing matches with Manny Pacquiao going up against Joshua Clottey and Floyd Mayweather taking on Shane Mosley. Both of the big blockbuster fights were boring, there were no knockouts nor referee stoppage, except for the judges score card to determine the winner.
Steven Cojocaru once said "We all get swept up in the hype machine. Nobody is immune to that." Sometimes the hype is just too much. People tend to hype up an event to attract a lot of people to either support or watch it. But I guess in the unscripted world of real sports you just have to deal with what ever the outcome may be.
