i decided to start a thread and see how many of you guys are actually gonna buy the fight i know i am!!!!(even though the undercard suxx) :p

i just spent 60 bucks on plastic pots.im not buying that. you're lining floyds pockets for a fight he's only taking because he thinks he can dominate gatti without trying, you're gonna pay to see that? well suit yourself. :) i am not..ill just d/l a vid the next day, or catch it the next week. i did that with tyson/mcbride, and was thoroughly excited watching the fight, knowing it wasnt live.

think about it..why feed a **** talking woman beating little ***** that was dazed by weak corely(jk i respek mw, hes a great fighter.)

**** yeah.....good PPV buy this one.

the chance to see a real life "rocky movie"..haha hell yeah...i am hoping Gatti somehow catches him and KTFO of Floyd but very unlikely *crosses fingers*(priceless=to see PBF face after he gets ko'ed and interview with him after so much sh*t talking towards Gatti),most likely PBF runs and never hurts gatti but get a UD...either way yeah i am ordering it...come on its better than a lot of stuff lately brough to us by showtime and oscar del la hoya boxing).

yep... I am

nope .

I'm buying it.

wasn't there already a thread like this a couple of days ago :mad:

Nope, I will watch and record the replay a week later instead....

i AM ONLY cause I have people coming ver to watch the fight, and cause of gatti. the only way I would buy a PBF PPV is if he fights Zab,kostya,corrales2

cmon u know what's gonna happen if that scenario happens,

a) he walks away
b) he says some **** like "the court buissnes made me unable to concentrate D:"

i decided to start a thread and see how many of you guys are actually gonna buy the fight i know i am!!!!(even though the undercard suxx) :p

Absolutely...I'm definately in!

I'm gonna order it. Can't wait to see Gatti TKO Mayweather

My thoughts exactly..I'm definately NOT buying it for Floyd! :eek:

its on normal cable over here!

:D

arturo to come through late stoppage bout the the tenth. :boxing:

free cable? not liking you right about now :p some of us have to pay big bucks to see that live! :(

Mayweather should win..pretty easily..too fast, too good, and too skilled. His heart and chin will be tested..but i think he will pass with flying colors

Hell yes im buying it!! Ive already planned my day around it.

Damn, look whos got it going on! (all except for your pick, of course! :p :D )

I'm buying this ****er. I've had this date circled on my calendar since I heard about it. This may be my most anticipated fight ever. I love Gatti, I hate PBF...what more could I ask for.

I might go the local sports bar and watch the fight, by the way how much is the pay-per-view?

They still do that in Boston? Its illegal now for sports bars to show a PPV event ... its considered distribution. I would call around first to make sure a place is definately showing it before you get assed out and end up watching Tuesday Night Fights on OnDemand.

ditto for me! Love Gatti, strong dislike for Pretty boy! ;)
I so hope Gatti manages to pull this off (even though I was told it would mean the death of boxing :confused: )

This is the best weekend of fighting I can ever remember. Floyd/Gatti on saturday and on sunday PRIDE Critcal Countdown has the best and deepest MMA tournement ever put together.

I want to see Rua vs Rogerio as bad as I want to see Floyd/Gatti.

I aint doing **** excpet sitting in front of the TV this weekend.

The sports bar will charge a 'cover-charge' of about $10-15, so it isn't illegal because they buy the ppv event for, I've heard up to $5000.

they can do it if they have a cover charge. if they get the fight they have to pay for the amount of seats they have. i mean even still they make money cause there is plenty more standing room and they can charge a lower price.

Oh ... I guess I just live in a cheap jew town because our bar owners scoff at the idea of shelling out distribution costs for PPV events.

couldnt the bar itself just order the ppv? then charge large amounts for a door cover or whatever..

Me and about 3 other friends of mine are going to order it, which makes it about $10 apiece. For that price I'm definitely ordering it.

Racial comments like that(cheap jew town) are not gonna make you too many friends on this forum. Smarten up.

Yeah...I know I know

they do but like posted by boston guy they have to pay a huge amount for the fight being a business. they can then charge a low cover and they definately make up for it in food and drinks. people wouldn't come if it were a huge cover.

got it. I guess I'd prefer the comfort of my home (even though it costs) to a bar. It's cool that there is that option though.

Amazingly, the sports bar I go to charged $15 for the Tyson-Mcbride fight when it usually charges $10 for other ppv bouts.

it was 20 bucks at the door for the tyson golata fight years back but i got in free. they were showing it at a place that i used to frequent. i wasn't really that interested in the fight. not really a tyson fan. i'm not really a bar person anymore but i guess if i was tight on cash i would go to one to see it cheaper. i'd just have to drink water all night.

I have bought a lot of fights this year. 2 weeks ago I bought the Tyson fight. I am 50/50 in buying this one because I am going broke. Not to mention the upcoming Hopkins fight.

This is the best weekend of fighting I can ever remember. Floyd/Gatti on saturday and on sunday PRIDE Critcal Countdown has the best and deepest MMA tournement ever put together.

yeah but if you live in phoenix, like the rest of the US, you gotta wait to July 1st to actually watch Pride Critical Countdown....

as for me, i just bought the Tyson fight and feel like i spent 45-50$ to be depressed...so im gonna check this fight out later and save my money for Pride CC and Bushido 8! (plus Taylor/Hopkins....MAN PPV COSTS SO MUCH!!!)

If you live in Phoenix and you promise not to stare at my wife's ass all night like the rest of my buddies do, you can come over and watch it at my house.

ha, preciate the offer, ill probably just *looks around for the feds* legally get it off the internet maybe.. :D

I'm buying this fight, I skipped Tyson/Mcbride, figure this has great potential, it's Gatti, it's floyd, it should be awesome

free cable? not liking you right about now :p some of us have to pay big bucks to see that live! :(

SORRY SWEETS!

sometimes we get the big fights on sky over here, we do pay 45 quid a month for cable tbv though (bout 80 bucks) so its not exactly free.

its only occasional and sometimes we dont get them at all or a wekk late, friday night we get Tarver johnosn for example.

great i already know who wins you know.

so this kinda makes up for it.

we got taylor hopkins too live. :boxing:

i decided to start a thread and see how many of you guys are actually gonna buy the fight i know i am!!!!(even though the undercard suxx) :p


Yes I am, even though one of my favorite fighters is going to get murdered. This is a severe mismatch, but it's boxing. You never know. Maybe the ref will let Gatti spin PBF around and punch him in the back of his head Ricky Hatton-style

lol, my hbo and showtime, etc. arent free either, but I'm still having to shell out the bucks! Oh well, I guess I wont begrudge you seeing this fight for "more or less" free (or nothing extra) ...but only this time! :D
Seriously, I know how limited the available action is over in the UK, and I think it sucks much! From what I hear, they only show a few, select popular fighters..except, of course, for Hatton!

ahahah... hey Jose ... you seeing this?
he's actually right

im not jewish, but thats like me saying 'i wonder why the fried chicken place is out of business. oh yeah a herd of black people just stopped by for a family reunion.' i mean thats equally racist to what you said, even though it isnt really mean, it would offend a jewish person

yeah restaurant that i used to go to bought the ppv fights illegaly for 50 bucks but they got busted,someone snitched them out(im still looking for the fu****)but anyways now im forced to buy the pvv's :mad:

I dont get that..if the bar orders it and pays for it, it shouldnt matter how many people end up watching. It's almost the same as inviting friends over to watch. Theyre gonna buy booze anyway so it's business as usual.
I get what theyre *****ing about...all these extra peeps getting to watch for one payment only, but like I siad, it's not much different from having friends over to watch. :confused:

:confused:

That's why it's NOT like inviting friends over to watch. The bar is making money by showing the PPV (from food and liquor sales) and HBO PPV wants a piece of the action.

I totally 'get' why they feel that way, I just think it's bull****. So greedy..like they ppv fee isnt high enough and they dont make a killing anyway!

To us, boxing is special. Unfortunately to them it's a business, just like any other, and they're going to try to capture every stream of revenue they can.

No, I'll wait for the replay or go to a bar to see it...I'm saving my money for the Hopkins-Taylor fight...

I just hope that HBO replays the complete card not just the Floyd fight...I want to see Calderon and Harris..

Me to man..

btw I'm gonna tell someone to record it and buy it off of them on the net...

I'll ask SpinxJinx if he can burn me the whole ppv on DVD and I will mail him the money...Since his one of the most trustworthy people on here.

I'd be glad to make you both a copy of the whole card, if you want. It's VHS..is that okay? I believe I've taped for Borikua (I think!!) but never for you before. Interested?

no thats not true at the moment, we get fight once a week on fridays usually since hatton won its gone ape****, we had 6 hrs of boxing last week on one channel. we get aobut 4 hrs a week on eurosport but its dull stuff most the time, another few hours on channel 4 and 5 at silly o clock onthe morning but you could tape it if you can be bothered.

Its getting better with Amir khan turning pro warne has moved to IV a terrestrial channel so no we actually get competetive brit title fights on sky for achange rather than some spurious alphabet belt. the game is on the up in the uk.

and can people STOP going on about hattopn fouling for gods sake, your allowed to clinch and if youy wanna talk about rabbit punching check the clinch in the 7th when kostya smacks hatton 6 times in the back the head as the ref is calling break.Hit him 3 times low beofre hatton retaliated. :rolleyes:

it was a rough fight get over it. some of you lot are proper whinging babies. :rolleyes:

Any idea who Khan is going to face in his pro debut??
by the way, I stopped *****ing about the hatton fight a while back, so there! :p :D

Thanx Tracy, but I don't have VHS.. :(


Go Gatti! :)

Yeah...I'm saving some money for the Hopkins fight...(the formula and the pampers are gettin me broke :D )

no kidding man...I know! Been there and done that. Thankfully the babe will evuentally move up to real food. and then you can worry about buying named brand clothes, after a few yr's anyway. They ALL expect them, belive me! :eek:

As I do with almost every pay per view that I order, I keep telling myself that I'm not going to shell out more money to watch tv that I already pay $100/month for.

I'll break down about an hour before fight time though and end up buying it.

I didn't break down for the Tyson/McBride fight though...I just watched real boxers on HBO after dark.

Anyone know what time the card starts (EST)?

9 eastern time i believe

I love seeing mayweather fight,,although all that hype over nothing to get that pay per view money ,,aint no losers in this one,,,and although its all hype for no reason,,as gatti will get tattooed im gonna get the fight...

I love Gatti, I love Mayweather. I can't tell if this is a win win or a loselose situation for me. whatever the case, i'll be watching it live for sure.

Anyone know what time the card starts (EST)?

EST on comcast says 8:30, but like they usually do, they will spend alot of time talking about the fighters, etc....long before any of the action starts. My schedule says it runs to 1:30 am, so the card must be decently loaded.

wow, things have definately picked up then..very cool.

wasnt aimed at you tracey.

got that the wrong way round hey. FM was awesome at the weekend.

his best perfomance by a country mile, i was a bit shicked by Gatti, standing off floyd and with sucha wide stance, played right into his hands he need to drag him into the trenches not box him form 5 feet away.

takes nothing away from FM though, he was excellent. If hatotn fights FM at madision sqaure G, ill be there.

count on it. :boxing:
