    I'm pretty sure the Corley fight will be televised as well, not 100% though.

    I just read on another site that Jones' purse depends on how many PPV buys this event gets, so if you're a Jones fan and want to make him some money, buy the PPV!

      They usually only have 3 undercards and the main event.

      You can bet that Corley is less of a name than the 3 I named, because he is on the downside of his career...

      Nwodo is a name too (sort of).

      Those are the two that I would be interested to know how they turned out, even if I was buying the PPV.

        I didn't buy it because
        1) This is not a pay-per-view worthy fight (I don't care if they are big-named HOF fighters) This fight should have happened years ago but B.Hop ruined that.
        2)I found someone ****** enough to buy it so I'll be watching it at their house.

        This fight shows you how bad times have been for Don King he had to beg Trinidad numerous times to get him out of retirement for the second time. Trinidad kept saying no until he heard the right price LOL.

          Collazo isn't on TV; Alexander is

          At least last thing I read said that

            Thats I what I heard also, its not so much for Corley its the fact that he is facing Don Kings only up and coming supposed star that I can think of. Collazo is a bigger name than Corley and Alexander but King is needing a fighter for the future to hit airwaves so I believe it is the Alexander fight.

              Karmazin is Corley's opponent and lost a narrow decision to Spinks to lose his IBF belt after dominating Kassim Ouma.

              King may see a Spinks-Karmazin II fight in the future or Karmazin-Mayorga and wants it to be more appealing for fight fans. Karmazin's domination of Alejandro Garcia on the Mayorga PPV undercard in Nov. helps too towards making him more marketable. You want to put the "hot" guys on your cards. If Mollo wins tonight, he'll get a title shot at one of the big 4 belts in 08 or 09 - you watch

              Corley was a replacement opponent anyway

                Was this changed? B/c I read that Alexander was fighting Corley? I heard Corley was retired and got a phone call from Don King, rather Tito like, and he took the fight against Alexander?

                  I was actually dead serious on buying it, then I saw the undercard. And I'm not a cheap ass, it's just thats too much lame boxing to watch for more then an hour for just a Main Event.




                  Don King is stuck in the past, the main event doesn't sell anymore. We've been spoiled, we need the full monty nowadays. I'm not even gonna bad mouth king for this card, I actually look up to the guy. lol I love his style, he just needs to get tha grip he had on the sport in the past. Judah blaming him for the Baldomir loss, like it was Kings fault. Giiiit the f#%* outta here ..

                  King can make it happen, he just needs to make some better fights in every aspect. If his people do they're research on these fighters and make some good bouts, he can get right

                      I still haven't decided whether I am going to buy Mayweather-De La Hoya. I love Mayweather, but I hate the match, with a ****ing passion.

                      I don't know how you can talk **** on this match from the standpoint of either fighter in Jones or Trinidad though, so a fan of either should buy it.

                      Side note: Bringer... you need to come back to NSB more often. Seriously.
                      I'm a sprinter when it comes to posting. When I have time away from work and personal obligations, I love nothing more than lighting a cigar, having a beer, and talking boxing with you guys. Lately I've been more busy than usual, so I'm not sure how often I'll be around. It's hard to predict.
