Toward the “climax” of the event, the two fighters were toe to toe trading barbs and threats as if boxing with words. Again, the viewers can see the athletes but can only guess what they are saying as there is no microphone working. In the background over the announcer’s voice, you can hear someone thumping the top of a microphone as if checking to see if it was live. Then after a couple of minutes, a tech delivers a mic to the stage. You can hear someone say, “test, test, test,” on the stage mic, and later he tries it again. Was it on?  We’ll never know as the user looks to the techs and mouths the question,” Is this on?”  He loses confidence in the audio team and doesn’t attempt to use it again. Again, it was a missed opportunity for the fighters to generate excitement by voicing their rants to the world. But without a microphone, no one hears the hype.
