    If you can't shell out the money to watch a ppv fight, I hope you are in college..
    Yep, that's me...
    I graduate in December though so money shouldn't be a problem then. The main thing that sucks is most of my friends watch MMA or no fights at all, so it's tough to get PPV's unless I'm the one buying.

      And the undercard was filled with excitment and a good 1st round KO, and since when has controversy been a bad thing?

      Its controversial, and causes a lot of productive discussions between the men that matter.
      these are the same dudes who will turn around say Mayweather/Gatti and Mayweather/Baldomir were more worth it then this fight. ridiculous.

        I didn't buy it and imho it wasn't worth it, but then again I only believe that superfights deserve to be ppv.

          I agree with your opinion. but MMA has taken over the bars in my area and also the people. So I watched the fight here with 2 friends. 5 years ago, it would have been 10 friends.

            I didn't buy the fights. I watched the KO's on YT shortly after the broadcast.

              Alot of people feel that way, honestly. Including (apparently) the folks at HBO.

              HBO rolled out their cheapie package for this one: no Countdown, two man crew, minimal promotion.

              manny just isn't the draw that the FMJ is. Floyd sold 330K for Baldi. We'll see what this fight did.

                Lol. You're ****ing REALLY dumb. I guess you're entitled to a victory lap since the objection of your hatred is finally off the top perch, by default but whatever.

                However, when you come back down to earth remember that Pacquiao-Diaz on PPV was roughly the equivalent of Mayweather-Joachim Alcine or Mayweather-Ricardo Torres on PPV. As a Mayweather fan I'd have bought it and enjoyed it. As a Pacquiao fan you bought Pacquiao-Diaz and enjoyed it. That doesn't change the facts; Mayweather doesn't get much credit for beating down Jesus Chavez. That didn't vault him to #1 P4P, but somehow THIS fight does it for Pacquiao...that's all I'm saying.

                    It was definitely worth the money - brilliant performance by Pacquiao!

                    I was very upset with the incompetence of Joe Cortez after Soto fought so well, and that brought the value down a bit for me personally.

                      someone is mad. i lived in south texas and mexico for good amount of my life. but as any person with any level of intelligence and common sense would know, jobs are scarce in those parts. i got offered a great job in Austin. so i took it. you're gettin too emotional. this is the internatz. nothin serious about it.
