Once again, Wladimir Klitschko is fighting on a night where there is a bigger card going on.
Oct. 2 he fought the least interesting bout on Showtime's tripleheader that was head-to-head with Trinidad vs. Mayorga on PPV.
Now he's fighting relatively unknown (one national TV fight) Eliseo Castillo up against the quadruple-header PPV debut for ESPN...
There are tons of Klitschko fans on this site, but this fight surely won't come close to being as good as Margarito/Cintron. Other PPV fights that night are Elder vs. Diaz, Mosley vs. Estrada, and McCline vs. Brock.
HBO is not advertising any undercards, even though Nicolai Valuev and Vitali Tsypko are both listed as being in the same ring as Wlad's fight.
Is the PPV worth the 30 bucks? Is the free Wlad fight enough to keep you from ordering the PPV? Or is that why they invented Tivo?
Haha, yeah. The only time that I have seen Simms on TV is when he was fighting Bronco McCartt on some undercard... I was just curious...
In any event, I am lobbying for people to pay for this PPV card on ESPN! It is better then half the shit that GoldenBoy and Don King Productions are throwing out there for a much cheaper price!
Both Travis and Tarvis Simms (twins) used to box in the Ballroom on a fairly regular basis...thats on a few southern channels ;)
Funny you mention him...a while back they got busted (supposedly) when one of them showed up for the weigh in of a fight for his bro. instead of the bro. that was supposed to fight! :eek: I dont know which one it was, or why they even tried it, but they did get caught. I can easily see them getting away with something like that cause theyre identical twins..same wt. division and everything!

I've never seen Tarvis Simms on TV, but that doesn't mean it's not televised. Maybe MSG or another on the satellite sports pak?
I dropped 20 bucks on the Tua PPV last week - and those 4 fights were replays. The ESPN card looks a lot better to me, plus HBO will replay the Wlad fight Sunday morning and night on HBO2...
Personally I think that the ESPN PPV is pretty solid and at only 30.00 bucks (which by PPV standards is pretty cheap) we are getting four quality and entertaining fights... Plus Wlad's last fight against 'Touch of Sleep' did not really do it for me... So I guess you have my choice.
PS- I am going to a fight at Turning Stone Casino in NY (it is a Tarvis Simms bout) I was wondering if anybody had any idea if this fight is going to be televised?
you klit fans make me want to change forums. screw those lackey frankenstein boys.
Geez, buddy...what's not to like? There's about a 99% chance of seeing someone get badly beaten up, no matter which brother you're watching fight :D
Seriously, though....Vlad has alot of potential, and I'm hoping he returns in a confidant manner. Either way, I'll be watching that fight. I'm not big into anyone on the PPV card, and I don't have any cash riding on any of those fights, so it's Vlad for me. I've got a buddy in Oklahoma who's a big McCline fan who'll be taping the PPV for me to pick up on my next fishing trip after that fight, so I'll get to see it and the undercards. Cintron should be a pretty good fight. McCline is going to get hurt.
thanks. Yea it is that boyfriend by the way heh but like I said he's got HBO boxing. THis is worlds apart from my friend Guido recording Sunday night fights of FSN :D :boxing:
he's obsessed with that show carnivale. What is with you carnivale people that show is crazy :eek:
Don't blame you, I don't like the show either. I tried to watch it once, but it's really just too weird. '
I do like Deadwood, though I'd prefer they learn something other than the word "Cocksucker". I have to record it and watch it late at night with the volume down low...kids, you see.
Haven't seen you on the boards for awhile...must be that boyfriend
Welcome back!
Hey, he can have a boyfriend if he wants. Hell, sometimes I wish I were gay too...women are a pain in the ass.
P.S.
Yes, I know Roxy G. is a gal.....I'm just being funny. Scotch puts me in a fey mood.
I love PPVS especially with such a good card
I will go to a friends and watch the ppv and i will watch the Wlad fight on "on demand" and record it
Theres gonna be some awesome fights on ESPN this year
so far this year HBO has sucked
Was all for the ppv, I wont order in revolt of what Tracy pointed out to me. Instead I will be saving my money and just catch the fights the next day instead....Besides HBO is burning a hole in my pocket with Fana/Barrera Trinidad/Wright Mayweather/Gatti.
Chances are I probably wont watch the HBO fight either...All the good fights so far this year aside from Gatti vs Mayweather are all on HBO or Showtime...I am just drooling over Castillo vs Corrales.
I'm lost Spinks (not the first time, I'm sure! :D ) What did I point out to you man? I've not posted in 3 days, and from checking back on the thread, I'm not sure what I said to make you revolt :confused:

....Yeah that fat assed, slow, lazy, no offensive talent Tua is a much better guy to sack ride on. lol lol lol
Free for ME.
I'm watching whichever on I can get Free.
I've been burned too many times by Dong King and his Bullsh*t fight cards. IMO, Rarely does PPV live up to the price of the telecasts.
L2P.
I live in the Netherlands and I'm thinking of going to Germany to see Wladimir's fight for real. We don't have any great fighter here, and W. Klitschko is the best that I will be able to see for a long time. I don't think that his opponent will be much of a deal because they are going to put a last minute man in with Wladimir because the bum he was supposed to fight cancelled.Not really sure if I'm going to Germany though, I hate the Germs.
By the way, this is my first post here, I am looking foreward to posting here!

Boyfriend? So you're a girl, or a gay man. Either way I had no idea boxing had many fans in either demographic. Welcome aboard either way!
she's got to be a girl, a gay man would be a hardcore john ruiz fan
