    this kind of attitude is ******. I will be purchasing the fight only because i purchase just about every fight. Im a big fan of the sport. But i hate how HBO takes advantage of **** like this and us fans. the first fight was free and was so good they know they will make money with the rematch on ppv. look at showtime for ex. vasquez vs marquez first two fights were classics. they could have easily put the 2nd one on ppv to make money of us they didnt they could have easily put the 3rd one on ppv to make more money they didnt.

        MMA animals talkin **** again. This is prize fighting, elite athletes performing their craft. been around for over a hundred years. Comparing mma to boxing is like comparing the fine art of fencing to to guys going at with baseball bats.:

          Buy it,the fight and the atmosphere will make it worth it for that alone

            The people that are interested in both fights, they can see both.

            I personally don't care about watching some street bum against a fat man.
            you are right, im watching both anyways,
            i'll record em' both actually....

              If you don't have the money, Ricco - Silva fight should be good.
              If Ricco is in shape.

              Tank - Kimbo will last maybe two minutes, until Tanks gasses.
              If you have money, buy boxing PPV it will be ten times better.

                ....You know what's ****ed up though. All of my main HBO channels are in HD. Every single free fight on HBO is in HD. I just went into my direct TV account on line and they are ****ing charging $59.95 to see the fight in HD. That's bull****. To see it in standard it's only the $49.95 charge. That is complete and utter bull****. I'm now 70/30 against ordering it out of principle. Isn't that a ****ing crock?

                  Yes, that is complete and utter bull****. They do the same **** with the Sunday ticket too; and I imagine the baseball package also.

                      EliteXC's undercard though is superior to the HBO card's... Taylor's only been on PPV with B-Hop; Pavlik never before. HBO should have put some more recognizable names on the telecast to help sell it...

                      I can stream the Taylor fight and/or download it this week, then tape/re-watch the replay prior to the Klitschko/Ibragimov show... And keep my 50 bucks for a more attractive PPV card
