REMEMBER, we were gonna have to PAY for the fight Tonight...

its on PPV in canada from what i know lol that's ****in retarded,there making us canadians pay 70 bucks but i pay for the super channels that broadcast the showtime and strikeforce fights and i'm not gonna get it! What a load of crap!

it says here that the fight is on ppv,but i remembered seein on showtimes broadcast of Mares and okbeko fights that they said they were showing the fight,what's up with that?I have showtime here in Canada and it's not on the tv listing for tonight??? its on PPV in canada from what i know

In Canada $59.99 on ppv or $69.99 HD.

nothing but love for showtime from me they delivered big time this year

The fight would have still been PPV had Kessler-Green and Ward-Dirrell went on as scheduled. After the cancellations of those two fights, it left Showtime with a little extra money in their budget to play with. So they decided to instead cut their losses and put it on "free," because I doubt they would have even broke even on PPV.

But SHOWTIME was nice enough to make it a FREE show. it says here that the fight is on ppv,but i remembered seein on showtimes broadcast of Mares and okbeko fights that they said they were showing the fight,what's up with that?I have showtime here in Canada and it's not on the tv listing for tonight???

None of the fighters are PPV champions so SHO didn't have a choice.

does this mean we should be able to get good quality streams?

Don't act like it's a charity giveaway. It's a business decision. I pay my Showtime bill every month. If they don't schedule any fights for January (I see nothing at the moment) I will be calling Directv tomorrow and cancelling it. Agreed. Just because *******s in charge got people used to seeing unworthy shows on PPV doesn't mean it's such an event when a borderline one doesn't get put on PPV. It's what's been killing boxing to a certain degree. No Hopkins fight at this point...or the last few years should be PPV.

Its free? I thought it was ppv this whole time

It’s a good thing Showtime didn’t market this for sale Hopkins was never a big seller and Pascal isn’t in the American mainstream.

Yeah. That was nice of them. I don't think anyone would pay for another Hopkins fight. That fight with Roy Jones was PPV wasn't it?
