Yes, but that reduces drama/colosseum fights. I think the original colosseum fights were mostly not fair either, but the audience just wants blood.

  > I think the original Colosseum fights were mostly not fair either I would expect the opposite. Nobody wants to see a pro baseball team crush a high school team, they want to see an evenly matched slugfest. The notion of a "fair fight" is deeply ingrained in people.

    Yeah, but the mob also likes winners. After a "fair" fight. Like in the reality survival show. It seems like a good fight, but when you have trained professionals vs. desperate people - you can have a spectactular fight, just not a fair one.

      "Alone" edits it to look like a fair fight, which supports my hypothesis. Nobody is going to tune in to watch a race between a Beetle and a Porsche.
