I don't care who is fighting.. You can't charge 50$ for a lightweight fight with no belt on the line.. you just can't..

Do you think the casual fans are going to be attracted to this?

well im getting it anyway.

i was more excited for rahman-barrett than this one.

i dont like castillo or chico cause they both were given victories they didnt earn against casamayor.

chico i like his fighting style though and castillos i dont care for.

the biggest thing for this card is the undercard fights.

chavez jr, pacquiao-hernandez and arce-hussein.

so they should take this fight off PPV, thus taking away huge sums of money from both Corrales and Castillo, even tho they gave us the best fight in years earlier this year, and its a possibility they could do it again tonight?

good thinking :rolleyes:

NO title? who cares? This fight is about setting things straight, and finishing what was started. Just cause theyre not big, heavy, slow boxers doesnt mean a ko isnt a possibility. Lol, trust me, these two guys will provide a hell of alot more entertainment than any of todays top heavies, and when shelling out $50, thats important. I can actually order this fight and still like myself in the morning.

I think it should be PPV but no way should a fight cost 50$.

50$ is a robbery.

No fight unless its the Thrilla in Manila should cost 50$.

Some of the lustre has gone from this fight. Even though the belts are no more valuable than the ones you can buy in Walmart, this was a world championship fight until Castillo screwed up.

Now we will always wonder about the weight and if it was a factor in the fight. If Castillo wins, the fight is tainted. I don't want to see Corrales make any less money than he would have because it's not his fault.

I didn't have a side in this fight but now want to see Castillo get KO'd.

Who cares about belts?? These two lightweight give us the fight of the year last time out so if anything should be PPV its this.

I dont understand why weight is an issue with PPV, would you rather see Tyson fight some ****ing bum on PPV just because he's a heavy?

Wow, Wow, Wow...posters like Diuegofuego and Tonywomack...wow, ****, I just dont know what to say...Rodgers-bust...dont yell at me here but stupidity should not be ignored or tolerated or respected...

We need to start a NON STOP DISP**** AREA where posters like Fuego and Womack can vent...

If you dont shell out the dough for this PPV then you might as well involve yourself in ice skating or badmitton...or leave this site all together.

This is a fight not for the casual sport fan but for the boxing fan, *****ing about belts makes you just as gay Rober Lee was or Jose Suliman is...

Dont get this fight...you can just read about the greatest remetch of our lifetime and continue to post like you actually love this sport.

What a ****ing joke!

are you kidding me? we're getting at least two great fights in corrales/castillo and hussein/arce, plus a good little pac fight and another fight featuring julio caesar chavez's son, what more do you want? The price is not going to change, just the quality of the PPVs themselves, and this PPV is EASILY worth the price.

Whats your point? Im saying that 50$ is too much no matter what the fight. Im sitting home with a flu, would love to watch it but Im not cracking out 50$ tonight, sorry cant do it.

It would be interesting to know if the weigh in debacle has affected sales any.

I thought it would be obvious that the point here is fighters need to make money for the fight, ESPECIALLY when it's a deserving fight like i guarentee this will be. If you're too stingy to give up the dough to these great and talented fighters, then it's your loss.

I guess I'll be the one who to go ahead and points out that it is $45, not $50.
