Daily Variety reports that Fox and Endemol USA quietly wrapped production on their copycat boxing-reality show, The Next Great Champ, over the weekend of July 24-25. To keep the audience at the championship bout from being able to "spoil" the identity of the show's ultimate winner, Endemol filmed several different "title fights" without telling the audience which one was the real wrap-up. ]]> AyaK https://www.realitytvworld.com/news/fox-wraps-production-on-the-next-great-champ-films-fake-matches-deter-spoilers-2787.php rtvw-news-fox-wraps-production-on-the-next-great-champ-films-fake-matches-deter-spoilers-2787 Fri, 30 Jul 2004 02:34:48 -0400
