Yes, which is what creates an opening for Mikagami to exploit. If Desmos says "I will beat you on the field, I'm not giving you a choice you lose" then this creating dissatisfaction in the audience is how you give Mikagami a different arena he can still fight in. Let him leverage his popularity and undermine Desmos such that he can bait her into overplaying her hand and leaving her with a weakened grip on the coliseum as a whole.
Desmos thinks she can eat the temporary hit in audience interest and lost sales, but this gets bigger than she expected after Mikagami arranges a boycott or something and gets her in hot water.
Something like that.
