    Considering entry to weigh in, shuttle and expo are all free I think it's fine for the people footing the bill to put this thing on get a little bang for their investment.

    I think the 734 times we saw all those companies on the anglers jerseys during that little tribute sufficed.

    I have no problem with commercials or promotional videos but they have really interrupted the pace of the weigh in. I am surfing the net with it playing in the background and about to take a nap if they don't bring someone on stage soon.

    Some of these companies have a ton of money paid out in making the Classic possible. It's still free to fans. Just being a bass fishing fan does not make us entitled. Someone is still rooting tve bill.

    There is so much free stuff down here, it’s tiny, tiny, price to pay. The classic is first class all the way.

    Plus what you all don’t see at home is the stuff they are setting up in the arena on the commercial breaks. They have to take a break to get things set up.

    Oh if they had to pay to get in for the weigh in then they would still complain that they paid AND had to watch commercials....

    Usually lots of giveaways during the commercials in the arena.

    You know it costs money to put on the show, without sponsorship, and a return on investment it would not happen at all.
