HBO has ruined boxing. Everyyear they always put there "mega" fights on PPV, some people will buy them but most boxing fans will not. Everyone always complanes about how bad scoring and lack of a HW divison hurts, but puting all the good fights on a channel were you have to pay 50 dollars for is really turning people away from boxing. Already this year HBO has set 6 PPV fights for 2006(subject to change). Some are good idea's like Manny Pacquiao v Erik Morales and some are downright stupid like Antonio Margarito v Manuel Gomez,Mosley v Vargas, Hopkins v Roy Jones Jr . how will boxing atract peolpe if they keep putting fights on PPV.

I am pretty sure HBO has nothing to do with the Margarito PPV, I think that one is being done by other means. YOur complaints aren't off base but there are a ton of good fights for free this coming spring like Toney-Rahman and Wlad-Byrd that are very good free fights

does anyone know if barrera's fight on march 25, or lacy/calzaghe are going to be PPV's

Lacy is not although I believe the Barrera fight will be
