Perhaps, with FIFA's recent troubles, this is the perfect opportunity for this to rise as the new international sport... one can only dream. Like an international version of the show gladiators, but with Gundam style robots.

I think we're going to be disappointed by the first few fights (if there's more than one). In my head I'm ready to see some Gundam Wing in real life! but in reality we'll see some slow, first to fall over is donefore mech fights. When bipedal motion is better developed I think we'll see some crazy stuff but I imagine that's years away.

I want to believe its going to be battle bots on a massive (size wise) scale, but I doubt it will be anything close.
