[East Coast Cats]

Appreciate Pollman's comments, producers need as much feedback as we can get. A few points...my mats are 12'x12', many companies use 10'x10' and even 9'x9' mats including some mentioned. My videographer is better than his camera, a new camera is coming. Fights of different lengths will allow for flexibility in pricing and there likely will be a lower price for the longer matches at ECC.

In full agreement.  All true producers are looking to improve their product constantly.  The consumer is the final judge.

Just to elaborate though. Though I stand by my original point that a genuinely good catfight sells like hotcakes, its length becomes an irrelevance. I don't agree that planned one submission catfights are appealing or a good idea. In fact, one submission catfights are particularly dumb on the producers part...

In many commercially-produced catfights, the best action often occurs after the first submission. At that stage, the competitors have overcome any nervousness/anxiety, and each has a taste of their opponent’s strengths/weaknesses.

A producer who prematurely ends a fight after the first submission in an effort to keep the length short has likely done a disservice to both the fighters and their own product.

Irish is the bomb. That girl is ready to fight whomever wherever!

Yeah, Irish is a real gutsy scrapper. I'm always amazed that a girl as pretty and delicate looking as her is so willing to go toe to toe with bigger and stronger opponents. Another ECC girl I like very much is Lexie. Like Irish, she looks fantastic and fights like a wildcat. I think that if you matched those two together it would generate some real 'hot girl competition' and be an amazing fight to watch. especially if it was filmed with that new camera. Any chance that might happen?

It seems the real proof will be if CCC produces a 20-minute fight and they compare the cost vs profit against a five-minute fight.

A couple questions for everyone...

How important is HD? To me, it is very, very important. In this day and age, low res just sucks.

Is all of Foxy Combat real? I know some is, but is all of it? I will say, their video work (close ups of the girls) is unmatched. It is so good. The buildup almost beats the fight.

Do you like seeing the same fighters over and over? If you do, at what point have you seen the same woman enough?

How important is topless? Is it worth the extra cash a producer has to pay for it?

Just curious.

I've only ever bought one fight from FC, but have you noticed how much of their material is being posted on youtube and dailymotion lately? And I don't mean short clips, but entire matches.
Personally, I've never seen anything by FC that looked remotely like a real fight. It all looks like role playing to me. Not scripted perhaps, but definitely not what I would call an actual competitive catfight or wrestling match.
And unlike you Steve, I don't like way they film their material. Yeah, the stare downs at the beginning are ok, but once the match begins, the camera person is constantly moving, zooming in and out of close-ups and tilting the camera first one way then the other, sometimes turning the picture almost completely upside down. With the girls flipping and rolling all over the place, there is just no need for all that fussy activity on the part of the camera person and I find it distracting and irritating.
Sorry if I upset any of this companies many fans, but that is my honest opinion of their work.
Regarding HD - yeah, all else being equal, it does enhance the viewers pleasure considerably. But to me it's no substitute for good content
If I like the way a particular girl looks, and the way she reacts to what happens during a fight, then I won't get tired of seeing her in action, quite the contrary. One of the reasons I enjoy unscripted fights so much is that they reveal things about the fighters character and personality. The more I see a girl in action, facing different tests against different opponents, sometimes winning, sometimes losing, the more of her character she reveals. If I feel I know something about a fighters emotional make up - her strengths and weaknesses etc, then that makes the experience of watching her in subsequent fights much more intense and personal.
Regarding topless - much the same HD really! All else being equal, it enhances my viewing pleasure a lot, but what happens during the fight is much more important.

How important is HD?

Very.  It shouldn't just be labeled HD (you know who you are) but should really be at the FC level of quality.  You can tell even before you see the girls. Just watch the opening screen with the lips (is Hana a Stones fan?) snap so tightly into focus, accompanied by an appropriately tasteful little jingle: this is professional work by someone who cares about craftsmanship.
