There looks to be 2 pay-per-view cards scheduled for June: Tyson-McBride in DC and Gatti-Mayweather in AC. Which fight will be more competitive? Which card is worth you hard earned $? Will the undercards play any part in the decision? Will you buy both just for the f*%# of it?
I think I'm gonna avoid a Tyson PPV for the 1st time in a long time & pay to see Floyd's crowning moment, it reminds me a bit of Toney-Jones, the challenger's 1st PPV main event, 1st title fight at that particular weight, and 1st big opportunity to win the general sports public's respect & interest...& I believe the outcome will be nearly identical, a near shut-out thrown by the challenger ....your thoughts!!!!

I am almost as excited about Pavlik vs Quartey as I am about Gatti Mayweather. Or any of the June pay-per-views for that matter.

Anyone who thinks the decision to pick between the two is difficult needs an examination. I will never ever pay to see Tyson fight again, he's a disgrace to the sport and he's told the public several times he's in it for the money now and nothing more.

The Gatti-Mayweather fight is a much more intriguing match and has some damn good undercard fighters (ie Vivian Harris).

It could very well be shutout in Floyd's favor, but then again it could look alot like RJJ/Tarver. Only time will tell.

Only a mindless zombie would buy the Tyson vs. McBride PPV. Gatti vs. Mayweather has a pretty weak undercard so far though, but its still a ways before the fight date.

I'll buy them both and if Tarver - Johnson II is a PPV the weekend between them I'll buy it too.

You have to be a real die hard Tyson fan to pick that over Gatti/Mayweather.

I think Pavlik is under contract with shotime so it should be on there. They are fighting at the fed ex forum in Memphis June 18.

Also, consider this:

Tyson fight is June 18; next Showtime event other than ShoBox won't be til the beginning of July

Gatti-Mayweather is the weekend before Tarver-Johnson and will likely be televised as a tap delayed undercard to the lt. heavyweight fight...

Buy both. Skip the ESPN one and hell the Winky vs. Tito if you need to. All the upcoming PPVs really have obvious outcomes. They probably won't show Tyson vs. McBride free on the replay so you'll want to get it. Tito vs. Winky they'll show free the next week.

Tyson-McBride is obviously the bigger mismatch. I feel stupid even bothering to say that. Even though I hate Gatti, I think Gatti could knock out McBride. Kevin McBride is ****, period.

Yeah Floyd'll easily beat Gatti, but not AS easily as Tyson will destroy McBride (guaranteed 1 round fight)
