Mark Burnett is British, he's the producer behind The Voice which is all over the world, so it's likely if its a hit in america it will be transmuted across the planet.

I'll be entering IF its going to be relatively standard heavyweight rules, but the consensus is that this is going to be a 'Real Steel' style show with robots around 500lbs which right now, has no one building robots in.

There is a demand for robot combat but I fear its not going to be what we are used too. Be prepared guys for what it may be.
This said They are using Karcas a fairly standard rule set heavyweight in the early promotional work, which is a potential sign that its going to similar to what we're used too.

This is something we'll need to keep an eye on
