Should Martinez-Williams II be PPV?

Gorilla_Dogs15y ago

I think it should, for all the middleweight belts and it is a highly anticipated rematch http://www.myboxingfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/alg_sergio_martinez.jpg http://www.grafxhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/paulwilliams1.jpg

Heck no...only real boxing fans even know who Martinez or Williams are in the first place. Williams can't draw flies to horse dung (being honest) and the could not even fill the arena in which they would be fighting in. It should be on regular HBO....although I'd still pay to see it on PPV, it would suck to see the stands half empty

15y ago

Gareth_Ivanovic

It will probably be another good fight like the first one, but no not on PPV. It's perfect for World Championship Boxing.

15y ago

F*Ck PPV!!!! I buy all the ones I really want to see but it sucks paying $60 to see something that should be free like evey other sport.

15y ago

Hell no................

15y ago

Nah, the names are not big enough for a proper PPV fight. But any proper fan of boxing will realize the action would be worth the $$$.

15y ago

Exactly. Serious lol @ anyone who votes yes. Cutting off your noses to spite our faces. lol you have a point... I think he means is it deserving of ppv though.

15y ago

Yes, but only with HQ undercard, like undercard of JMM vs Diaz II next week. Cosign....

15y ago

it only would if it made financial sense by panda's estimation: NO

15y ago

This is when promoters then to take advantage of these type of fights. They should stack the card with fighters like canelo and perro and then it would be worth it to be on PPV, but if only this fight and an ok fight would not suffice.

15y ago

The_Gambler1981

I say no for that fight but the winner is certainly looking at PPV stardom or at the very least a PPV B-side.

http://www.myboxingfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/alg_sergio_martinez.jpg http://www.grafxhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/paulwilliams1.jpg Why do you think it should be PPV? Do you like spending money?

15y ago

Relatively yes, on principle hell no, all fights should be free but it is what it is

15y ago

With a good card, why not?

15y ago

Martinez and Williams have no fans. PPV this fight shall not be.

15y ago

No fight should be on PPV. I'm sure this fight will not be though. As great as the last fight was, Martinez and Williams aren't big draws and cannot carry a PPV.

15y ago

Yes, but only with HQ undercard, like undercard of JMM vs Diaz II next week.
