i know most of us are cheap and stream, i do it at times too. but..
Sept, we get Mayweather-Ortiz on PPV.
Nov, we get Pacquiao-Marquez.
Dec - Cotto - Margarito.
im obviously buying the Cotto fight, action fight, redemption and alot of questions tobe answered with both fighters and the always great Mexican Rican rivals.
If i had to choose another id pick May Ortiz, to see if May will finally get caught up with ring rust and if Ortiz can actually be something more.
Pac Marquez is a obvious fight. At the wrong weight, wrong time. Pac will basically murder Marquez, but you cant deny this wont be a action packed fight. I rather Pac over a May fight anyday, but you barely see Floyd, so it wont hurt to miss out on buying this one.
If you had to pick 2/3 of these PPVs. what would you pick and why? lets have a civil convo for once..
The only 2 worth buying are Pac-Marquez and Cotto-Margarito
Pac-Marquez are two first ballot HOFers that like to fight toe to toe and have unfinished business. Gave up two of the best fights in the last Decade.
Cotto-Margarito are two borderline HOFers that like to fight toe to toe and will be a sequel to one of the greatest fights of all time.
May-Ortiz is gonna be one of the most boring fights of the year. And I can't support a guy thats insanly boring inside the ring and a douchebag outside the ring. And Ortiz is pretty arrogant for a quitter that has made nothing but excuses against Maidana instead of rematching him like a warrior and beating a hypejob named Berto.
I will only buy one of these and that is Mayweather/Ortiz. I believe that this fight will outsell the other two, unless Pac/Marquez ends up on Showtime and Showtime once again refuses to release the real PPV buy rate and allows Bob Arum to make up his own number as they did with the Pac/Mosley fight.
On another subject, don't count Marquez out of this fight. Marquez looked bad in his last fight above 140. However, I believe that performance had nothing to do with the weight and had everything to do with his opponent -- Floyd Mayweather. Pacquaio is not on the same level as Mayweather. Pac/Marquez will be a very competitive fight and if anyone get's KO'd in this fight, I believe it will be Pac. If this fight goes to a decision, I think it will be another controversial one just like the first two and once again, Marquez will end up on the wrong end.
Wow. Those are big words big james, "if anyone gets ko in manny-jmm, itll be manny, or if it goes to decision it'll be close/controversial".
Why do i have a feeling you'll be dissappearing from nsb after this fight?
The worst fight of the 4 to me is margs/cotto. Both are such shells of their former selves. Im pulling for cotto, but really both dudes are not ppv worthy imo. Obviously the grudge makes it more interesting, but really, what have they done impressively lately?
Undercard for Hopkins vs Dawson has to be stacked or that is just not gonna do numbers, if your not a hardcore boxing fan then most of the people dont even know who the hell Chad Dawson is, dude is Boring in the ring and boring out the ring, he's had chances to make himself a star by now, it's just not in his nature, he's a laid back snoozer , Hopkins while yes he's entertaining majority folks will still say "do i really wanna pay PPV for a 46 year old??"
they will have to do some MAJOR hyping for this fight if they want it to do anything sales wise because right now i dont see it , as of right now i know for a fact im not getting it unless the Undercard is just that stacked to where i have to see those fights, but u got a guy near 50 and a young guy that moves around and carries himself like he's 50 ....
Hopkins coming off his biggest win in recent years, he's The Ring 175 champion, vs Dawson coming off a dominating win over Diaconu.
Then you got Holt vs Mataysay rumored, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Pascal on there on split site in Montreal.
So why not?
i loved hopkins performance but he usually gives you a great one vs a fighter gunning for him(trinidad), vs dawson though? damn i cant really convince myself that this one will be entertaining, i'm going to watch it, but wont buy it. as for Holt, i like the kid but he's fighting who again?
pay per snooze....i dont care if the card is stacked, which i really doubt it'll be, i'm not buying that sh.it

Umm, how about all of them?
I'll probably purchase Hopkins-Dawson on my own, my dad will purchase Mayweather-Ortiz, and I will go half and half on Pacquiao-Marquez.
Oh almost forgot, Cotto-Margarito will be half and half as well.

If I don't go to Cotto/Margs and/or Hop/Dawson, than I'll buy all 4 without batting an eye. These are all big fights, man up you J's.
HBO BETTER get all of these.....imagine Faceoff with Cotto-Margs....Kellerman(and myself) will be so uncomfortable with that tension in the room.
Mayweather-Ortiz might be the biggest most important fight out of the 3.
Pacquiao-Marques is the worse out of the 3. It's just crap.
Margarito-Cotto II is the fight that intrigues me the most out of the 3. This is the one fight where I'm not sure who the winner will be, unlike the other 2 where I'm pretty sure who the winner is going to be. Plus with their history and all the talk with the perhaps use of wraps for the first fight. Makes this one the most interesting one for me personally.
Buying all except Cotto-Margarito which instead I will be attending. :headbang:
nice, ill see you there.
also thinking bout attending dawson hopkins if the card shapes out tobe good.

I've never bought a mayweather fight, and although i'm very tempted to buy this one, i wont. i'll catch it at the homies house
i usually buy pac ppvs but havent bought his last 3 because i wasnt really feeling his opponents...i might buy this one if the card is stacked
i'll mos def buy the cotto/marg one
IDK cause i'm mixed up...i want all of them and a few more...
Dawson vs Bernard
Manny vs JMM
Ortiz vs Mayweather
Margo vs Cotto
Zab vs Kong Khan
Agbeko vs Mares
Guerrero vs Maidana
man...what a great way to finish off 2011! :headbang:
buy the best fight of the 3 cotto vs margarito, stream pac and floyd. floyd vs ortiz will be a snooze fest because ortiz won't be able to catch floyd, easy ud for floyd. the pac vs jmm fight will be a war for only a couple of rounds until pac destroys jmm. cotto vs marg will be a war for 10 rounds or more guaranteed.
