    tyson holyfield 3 wouldn't be the most upsetting fight b/c it is a complete joke. Both men are irrelevant right now. Mayweather however is P4P #1. He shouldn't be joining the circus just yet. Tyson go on the Real world for all i care, mayweather on the other hand matters.

      Margarito vs TBA isn't on the list...

        The dive that Mayweather is going to take against De La Hoya.

          Holy-Tyson III on PPV is going to make boxing look like the biggest joke in sports. Easy choice here.



          [quote=podxvost;3051050]Its going to be on PPV? WTF


          These guys don't work cheap. Even if they didn't I don't think any network would buy it fearing the backlash they would no doubt get from it.

            I voted De la hoya vs mayweather, but Tyson And Holyfield is a total joke too, especially if its PPV

                whats wrong with dlh-mayweather II. I've seen the first fight 5 times and it gets better every time with the first time being boring for some reason. It was a masterful fight by both guys. This time it will be different cuz DLH will be trained by Mayweather Senior. Plus he has tapes to watch of the fight to see what he did wrong and what he could've done right. for me personally, I am stoked at the idea of this rematch but I also think dlh should be fighting atleast once before they meet in september just to stay sharp. and the fight that would make sense before mayweather is against mosley. he lost to him twice so theres a chip on his shoulder and mosley will be good practice for dlh cuz he is somewhat similar to mayweather with his handspeed.

                  the biggest disgrace is how many ****ing ppvs there are this year already. Its ridiculous how much I have to pay to see top fighters nowadays! what ever happened to Boxing After Dark? once upon a time, they used to have fights like Morales vs. MAB and Gatti vs. Ward on BAD.

                    Rjj Vs Tito on PPV and the disgraceful $15k ringside ticket price.
                    Anyone would think these 2 were in their prime.
                    Roy Jones was a Pioneer of this Bull**** and here we are in the 00's and STILL Idiots are paying to see this crap.
                    He is fighting another cherry picked fighter who should have no place sharing a ring with him , in his prime or now he is done.
                    The people who pay for this are what is wrong with Boxing because as long as Idiots will pay for crap then they will keep feeding us crap.

                      It feels like promoters/fighters see this SMALL resurgence in Boxing as a way to milk the **** out of it untill the quality of fights degrades again and the casual fan loses interests.
