Consider this my mo.ther.fu.ck.ing notice of resignation. For the past 10 years of my life, I've shelled out hundreds, easily over a thousand dollars to support one of the 2 sports that I truly love. Paying for these "events" hoping for a good card, or AT LEAST a good main event, and very often getting one of these instead: (insert middle finger smilie) . I quit. Saturday's "event" was a complete joke from start to finish. The 3 undercard matches lasted a total of no more than 10 minutes, and they weren't even exciting. I expected that no matter who was to win, Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya was going to be a good matchup. I wasn't expecting a "dream match", just a good one. A good f.uck.ing boxing match was all I wanted to see. Like Roy Jones weeks earlier, it was clearly obvious that De La Hoya wanted nothing more than the millions of dollars to be made off of the event and his name. I'm glad it made Pacman more popular, because he deserves it. To cut to the chase, I'll never, ever pay for another boxing "event" again, not unless you can by some fu.cking miracle consistently put together solid and competitive cards that are WORTH your fans' hard earned dollars. Peace the f.uck out, the bad cards have far outweighed the good ones. My wallet and I are done with you.
Sincerely,
F.uck you
ps. Pacquiao will knock out Hatton early, and decisively beat Floyd Mayweather jr.
all boxing undercards are shit so what did u expect. i know i never expect much from them. if they end up being good than its a bonus. but i enjoyed the pacman-DLH main event and thats all that matters to me. all true boxing fans get frustrated sometimes but they never turn there back on the sport. i hav a feeling that if oscar would hav won, ur reaction would be the exact opposite of what it is now. go watch UFC you pu$$Y
I didnt pay 55 dollars for 9 minutes worth of undercards and a fight so onesided, it barely deserved to be on regular HBO. I didnt care who was going to win the fight, I thought this was going to be a competitive matchup. Read the post again, I'm not turning my back on it, I'm just not paying for it anymore. Not until they can consistently put together better shows.
and to respond to the last sentence of your post Boxing > MMA. No need for namecalling

I put in my resignation to hip hop once they started considering Lil Jon and Lil Wayne rappers. The definition of hip hop should be amended to exclude anything south of Baltimore on the East Coast and anything East of Compton.
F.uck you. North carolina all day, B!TCH
Only get the fights that you KNOW will be good. The last one I paid for was Cotto vs Margarito and that was worth my money for sure (although I dont recall the undercards at all.) But I buy maybe one or two a year, because most fights with big names arent ment to be competetive. They are ment to make money. The best fights are usually the ones with lesser known fighters anyhow.
I get fed up as the next guy wit all the bullshit in boxing, especially PPV's, but I could never quit watchin it.
Same here. I'm a fool for the sport.:dunno:
The last boxing event I paid for was Morales/Barrera III I think.
I understand your frustration though Godz. Oscar looks really bad after this past weekend.
Well later then.
Only way I could stop watching pro boxing is if they pussied the sport up with standing eight counts, or headgear, or something like that.. but a bad PPV ain't gonna do the trick. I'm here to stay.

yeah, I'm not going to quit watching it, just not paying for it anymore, aside from my hbo and showtime subscription.
Boxing's response:
Dear GodzHand,
It's good to hear from you. Hey man do what you have to do. I understand your dilemma but what can I do? The only fights worth putting on ppv this year were Margarito vs. Cotto and Pacquiao vs Marquez 2, but no matter what bullshit I put on people buy so I have to sell. De la hoya holds a special place, he'll sell regarldess of how shitty the production, match ups, and undercard is, but what about these other shitty as ppvs? If you don't like the way things are going than stop giving me money so easily.
Love,
Boxing
PS. I reccomend you check out the Chavez jr. ppv cards, those are a doozy.
Somehting like that, my point is, I bought 2 PPV's this year, and they were worth every cent. Be more selective with what you get and the networks and promoters will think twice about what they can put on ppv and what it takes to put on a worthwhile ppv, that is all we can do.
Good one. I try to be selective, but like I said, I ****ing love boxing, and I think I've always been optimistic about the matchups. I've finally learned my lesson though.
