How will you watch the fight?

Sopcast or PPV?

I will be watching the sopcast for sure. With such a weak card and two fighters just looking for a pay day its no question for me.

A very similar topic from last week.
VERY surprising results.
Unless some RJJ nuthugger ALTS were at work.

It's different when there are, say 3 PPV's in a month - then people have to choose.

It's been awhile between last major PPV and next major PPV, so people wanting to watch 4 major fights without commercials - dropping $50 isn't necessarily that big of a deal.

Tonight's UFC PPV is devoid of big names as well so that eliminates some competition from some fight fans...

Sopcast.

No PPV's in Finland and I wouldn't buy it anyway.

Do you think it is deserving of PPV?
I really don't and you know what?
Those that PAY for this tell HBO that they can charge for ****.
Know what I mean?
This then means Quality goes down like it has since RJJ was HBO king in the 90's with his cherry picking way's.
The Ghost of RJJ should have been laid to rest and 2007 proved to be a year where the Fans finally got Quality back in Boxing.
If RJJ gets away with this **** then how long before it becomes the norm again?
Get my drift?

This PPV will do well based on name recognition. Jones has fought on PPV his last 2 post-HBO fights as well.

We've gotten some good free fights lately. This card may well end up being worth it. I know that the last two Mayweather PPVs I've ordered haven't been - from the main event being lackluster to a poor undercard showing. Hopkins-Wright was bailed out by its undercard.

A lot of people haven't gotten to see Jones or Golota recently either since their fights haven't been on major networks so there's a curiosity factor.

This was going to be PPV whether HBO was involved or not.

DKP would have put it out and either distributed it themselves or used Showtime (like they did in the Mayorga/Vargas fight) if HBO didn't jump in. HBO has had issues with Jones recently and Tito was blown out his last fight; don't think HBO wouldn't have gotten involved if they didn't think this was a surefire moneymaker.

Circus sideshow factor.....

There is no drunk option?

Here is Golota at his best against McBride last time out.
They were like 2 dinosaurs stumbling around the ring.
In fact their arms were as much use as a T-rex's arms


Then you have Mollo DESTROYING Mcbride inside 2 rounds.
Going off these 2 fights that tells me Mollo needs to be on taranquilisers to lose this fight with golota.
