The role of Non-Fighters in your promotion?

In a real life mod or the Adam Ryland version. There does not seem to be a differnce having announcers for your show. Either one or two does not seem to matter also. So say I take over King of the Cage, I don't seem to lose anyone with zero announcers. And with one announcer it has the same effect as two. So why have them? Why also pay an owner per month, and why pay a retired fighter to be with your promotion is there somthing I'm missing about this. My last question is, in MMA the ring announcers are just as big as the tv announcers so why did they get no love. Also in MMA the referees are known to many of the watchers, so why did they get no love. I think it would have been interesting to have refs, that stop matches quick or let them go to long.

I like the idea of referees and having stats of their tendencies

Each area could still have their own refs (and possibly judges) and the refs would be better in areas where MMA is more popular (i.e. Nevada). That way when you are scheduling an event you would have to take quality of the refs in the particular areas into consideration.

The idea of a Nevada ref being good. The idea of a Nevada ref being good is hilarious. Which brings up a thought I had. In MMA and Boxing mostly, I notice many more split decisions then this game has. I'm acctuly about two years in with 12 matches a month and I have only seen on split. Also on that note, a bad deicision would be excellent once in awhile. To see the guy you have been pushing as your big product. In my case Tito Ortiz in KOTC. If he won four out of five Blurrcat rounds but when it came to the judge he gets robbed. I would laugh, be crabby, and sad the perfect combo for a game.
