If you tell the girls from the start that you want 25 or 30 minutes of fighting, they will not fight all out at some point in the fight.
Think of it like running a race. If you know you have to run 800 meters, you are not sprinting from the start. In fact, you might not be sprinting at all. If you are told 50 to 100 meters, you are sprinting.
The long catfight was made to justify selling a $30 DVD to people. Now that technology is available to effectively deliver a shorter, more passionate, fight, it should be the standard.
Crystal video never made a real fight that was 25 minutes.
If you want longer fights, there are still a few companies out there that do this, but they don't have the passion of SF.
I know I just opened this thread up for other companies to draft SF, but I want other CF fans to know that the long fight is not the direction you want to push SF, IMHO.
You're lying to yourself if you would rather see a 5 min fight with two beautiful naked women vs a 25 min fight with the same scenario. I'll take 25 min of good solid action any day if it's authentic (it can happen ). It doesn't have to be at break neck pace to be good a slow methodical fight can be great also (Carmen v Sammy, Brooke v Charlie) I also like good short fights Lexi v Brooke and apparently the latest Mira fight should fit the category. My thing is long or short what matters is quality in the end. Now my preference is a nice long fight but I'm not saying that a marathon is always mandatory it's just MY preference, in the end length won't stop me from buying the fight or liking it as long as it's good. My complaint about the last fight was yes it was short but it was also kinda boring when it shouldn't have been. The allowed grappling killed the momentum of the fight (one fighter wanted to catfight the other clearly avoided it), it killed the excitement, and it cut the fight short. It's pretty much the same argument people were making during SF earlier hair pulling matches (particularly Rosie v Jess) not enough action.
I did not say I would rather have 5 than 25. Before a fight, you have to be careful you say the right things to get the best fight. Normally you communicate that you want 10 minutes of fighting action. The two of three falls usually takes care of this. Sometimes neither woman gives and you get a magical 20 or 25 minutes, and of course you keep the cameras rolling for this.
What you should never do is tell them you want 20 to 25 minutes at the start. They will pace themselves and give you crap most of the time.
If you do push them and push them for more footage to fill a DVD, you are going to ruin that fighter and they are never going to catfight again. SF does a great job of getting this level of fighting and have the women return for more fights.
Also, if you get 25 minutes of fighting, I'm not sure Clips4sale will allow you to sell it for only $10.
