    Do you guys get mad when PayPerViews show many fights?

    It seems Hbo cant stand showing 4-5 or even 6 fight cards on pay per view, do they think we would hate it? I could watch 0-100 fight someone 0-200. Lots of times prospects fight on the undercards so you get to scout them.

    HOw do you feel on undercards?

    This is the reason Don King had great undercards. Multi title fights, or at least prospect fights. It pisses me off what we are paying for now.

      I think 3 total fights is perfect......2 undercards and the main event.I don't care how many they can sneak in as long as I don't have to wait until midnight or later to watch the main event.

        i think they have a good amount

        2 solid undercard fights.

        Sometimes i wish there was a third, but that first fight of the three undercards could be long and boring, and if im pumped for the main event, that just makes the wait longer.

        They should show highlights though

          3 fights is nice..
          I like How SKy does it sometimes..
          Showing the Main event 1st and then the recorded undercard..
          But not always

            That's the reason HBO gave for only showing 3 fights on PPVs. They said people were complaining that the main events were starting too late.

            If the card is loaded with good competitive fights then I'm all for having more fights on ppv cards but as long as the ppv cards are **** like they have been for the most part then they can keep it at 3.

            Don King's marathon ppv cards are usually long and boring especially his heavyweight cards.

              I remember paying 29.95 for Holyfield-Moorer and got to see a Junior Jones upset. For 50 bucks they better have some prospects on the undercard. Start at 8 instead of 9, it is that simple. King always made those undercards worth the money.

                wow this is awful, you pay 50 bucks for sometime 3 fights you should get your money worth.

                Dont get me wrong i order all the pay perviews but sometimes the undercards end quickly and the mainevent is awful, that can be a waste of money

                Id rather have a spectacular 4-5 fight undercard since i got good action and have a bad main event atleast the undercard made it worth while

                  then how about Hbo start their card earlier instead of later, most people dont even watch undercards, just the real boxing fans, they should be reaching out to us, not just the ones who show up to the main event
