IMO Yes, Mayweathers a pound 4 pound 1/2 and Gatti's a big draw.

By todays standards they should charge 300 dollers for it. I mean Klitchko/Williams was a PPV headline for crying out loud.

yes gatti deserves a ppv and mayweather has been exciting as of late.....so gatti vs mayweather should definitely be ppv but they needa good undercard also

This could be an amazing fight. Of course it should be on PPV.

This is my opinion, if Vitali Klitcshko vs. Danny Williams was a PPV than this should be one without a question.

The question was should it be PPV fight?, not do you want it to be a PPV fight?

I think that this fight could be on PPV, but there had better be at least 1 more good title scrap, along with a an up and comer in action on the card as well. Mayweather-Gatti on its own cannot hold its own as a PPV. Mayweather can't sell out a phone booth as the main guy, so what makes this fight any more worthwhile? Gatti is unbelievable, and I personally will be watching, but for the average fan, it may not hit the spot which makes them purchase, which is what it would need for a profit to be made.

This should be a PPV fight ONLY IF there is a strong undercard. None of this DKP bull ****, I want to see someone good, hopefully in the same division. It won't be KZ - Hatton because that's Showtime but maybe Cotto - Harris or something similar.

Don't be to optimistic about that fight guys, it will not happen. Don't want to see you talking about something which is wishful thinking :p

It should be PPV..but I'll wait a week and see the replay for free, unless they get a great undercard..I already know that I will spend some cash with the Morales-Pac and Trinidad-Wright fights... :cool:

Of course it will happen Mayweather needs the belt for bargaining power, I am almost sure of it.

Floyd will not be in reverse at all. Have you seen his last 3 fights? This will be toe to toe and Floyd will try to take it to him and sell tickets for future fights

For a fight to be on PPV, it needs boxers with a fan base. Mayweather and Gatti on PPV will only be a waste of money for HBOPPV, just like the Heavyweight fights were. This fight is for real boxing fans and unfortunately the majority could care less about May-Gatti. It shouldnt be on PPV and it wont be. Unless it comes in a package.......like the Heavyweight Fight Night in MSG, something commercial like that.

Yeah it should be a pay per view (I almost typed out paper view...)

Gatti has alot of love from alot of fans..
Floyd isn't as big as a name as Gatti, but he's talented.
Leija vs. Gatti was a PPV and Leija sucks

no it was on HBO. where this fight will end up. It has nothing to do with who sucks its all politics and business. This fight wouldnt bring in the dollar signs that a Tito-WInky or Morales-Pac fight will. Hopkins is P4P #1 right now and his next fight is on HBO. That doesnt mean anything

My bad..I could have sworn I read it would be a pay-per view.
I saw the fight sunday afternoon. The replay.
