Happens virtually to all fighters' entrances, when that choose a commercial/established song. Edit: FWIW the entrance music was The Foggy Dew by The Chieftains, and Hypnotize by Notorious B.I.G.

To broadcast a piece one time to a stadium costs a bit, but nothing like the cost of recording it onto something like a DVD or an internet player like Fightpass. Depending on the popularity of the song you are talking anywhere from 3K to 500K for a single song. Most likely around 25k. Multiplied by 20 fighters a night... not going to happen Even live broadcasting the walkin's would cost but considerably less (because its not "on demand"). Hence (partly) why not many get the full walk in treatment IMHO.

JJayoo wrote: » Ordinal Data is just when you rank something such as a top 5 list, so in the list number 1 is better than number 2 etc, number 2 is better than number 3 etc, however you wouldn't say that number 2 in the list is twice as good as number 4. I just mentioned it because a few posters seemed to have an issue with the fact that I used the word "stat" in regards to the top 5 that was listed.
John_D80 wrote: » Well yeah because in fairness you were kind of taking it a bit seriously for what is plainly two guys opinions. Put forward in a fun space filling segment. Purely their opinions. Boxing or any other skill is impossible to quantify as a statistic when everybody has different opinions on what makes a boxer great. I totally disagree with pretty much every selection on both guys lists but I'm not going to get worked up over it. It was just for fun. PS: I know what ordinal data is but the reason I said that it was not an example of same was because I doubt Kenny Florian put very much time or consideration into it.
JJayoo wrote: » Nope I just gave my opinion that I thought it was a joke, one sentence. Mellor disagreed and explained why he though Conor could get on the list and made some good points, which is what a forum is for.
John_D80 wrote: » Right that's all lovely, but do you still maintain that Florian based his selections on a stat as opposed to opinion??
Gumbi wrote: » How the **** is "best boxer" ever a stat and not an opinion? Seriously man, are you thick? Quantifying "best boxer" is not a science by any stretch. Calling Tyson one of the greatest HW boxers ever is not a stat. It's an opinion. THe fact it's probably a fair one is irrelevant.
