    Arum gets all the bad wrap but he is actually realizing ufc is gaining big time and is trying to improve boxing shows and productions...while golden boy puts on lousy ppvs.
    I was a big GBP supporter for a long while but over the past 6 months I have taken note.

    Your right their undercards are awful and it appears there fight cards are more geared toward making money then revitalizing the sport as they like to claim.

    Schaefer bothers me, I dont know if the man nos boxing at all-he appears to be a business man not a boxing guy.

    Barrios is not in JMM's class, this is a decent HBO scrap but to throw this on PPV is not a good idea and HBO once again appears to be bending over ready to take it right up the ass.

      How would they do the Countdown for this PPV? They woud probably try to claim Barrios was robbed against Guzman or some BS.

        I'm trying to remember - did they have a countdown for Barrera-Juarez II?

        I know they've been doing one for just about all of them recently, but don't recall one for that card. In fact, Marquez-Barrera was the first countdown I recall them doing for any of Barrera's PPV's.

          You could be right. They Usually do Countdowns for any big fight. They did one for Winky Taylor which wasn't even PPV and they did one for Mosley Vargas which is sad considering that was a PPV.

              Freitas-Barrios and Reid-Ortiz was Showtime and that wasn't PPV, they need to put JMM-Barrios on HBO and forget the PPV if it stays that way it deserves to be boycotted, I don't think even a good undercard will matter at this point

                  The only way I would buy this is if the undercard was unbelievable, but I doubt that's going to happen. So I probably won't be buying it. Nacho is a great trainer, but sometimes his managing skills seem under par.

                      That would certainly help, but it would need another good matchup like this (3 fights) to really get me to pull out the wallet

                      I promised myself after the PBF-DLH card I wouldn't pay for just the Main Event and just blur through the undercard, which was Bautista-Medina (the best fight on that card) and Juarez-Hernandez
