IPT Just a Reality Show?

It's been a while since I've logged on here, so I'm way behind in reading posts. Wondering what everyone thinks about the notion that all that's really going on is the production of a new reality show, like The Contender?

I got the email from IPT to review their promotional video that they're using to try to sell it to a network, and it looks very, very much like a promo for a reality show, rather than an ongoing tour that will keep getting coverage.

If it turns out to be sold to a network as nothing more than a reality show, it will almost certainly die after a couple of seasons, just like other reality shows that come and go. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, really, especially since the IPT players will make loads of money all the while, but it may end up not being as big a boost to the sport over the long-term as it now seems.

Just wondering whether others have the same feeling.

Evidently .....

Oprah has never been to prison or scammed anyone AFAIK.

You have not caught her program very much. All those talk shows are scams of the people involved, and they are exploited to the max for TV
RATINGS. The people that tune in everyday become SENSATION JUNKIES,
similiar to an ACTION JUNKY in Pool.

But perhaps financed is the wrong word. Planned the events with projected costs is most likely more correct. And a person worth a few Billion dollars I believe will have the money to follow through.

Whether he actually set asside the funds in a separate IPT account I have no idea.

Considering that if my net worth is 1 million dollars (which it isn't) and KT's net worth is 1 billion dollars then he can spend a thousand dollars like I spend 1 dollar. And if my net worth is only 100,000 then he can spend $1,000 like I spend 10¢.

It must be nice to be really rich.

KT's actual net worth is probably less then 5 % of that number you throw out, still a lot of money although not the way he likes to throw it around, it goes fast. Remember Michael Jackson looking in the camera saying he was worth around a billion dollars when at that same time he was actually in debt around $500,000,000. Those kinds of people get so used to living lives that are illusions I think they sometimes begin to believe it themselves. Do some research and you will see I am right about him.
