    I'm watching Pavlik vs Hopkins at my buddies house. But I will be paying for RJJ vs Zags.

      Same here.

      Pavlik/B-Hop-----------> Stream it online

      Roy/Joe C. -------------> Order it PPV (my family's not missin' it for the world!) A must-buy

      DLH/Pacquiao-------------> Probably watch it with my g/f at her family's house, ESPECIALLY if Juanma lands on the undercard.

        Roy is Roy and there is no way that I will miss his fight. While kids looked up t Superman and Batman, Roy Jones was my Superman.

        Then I have to buy the Oscar fight.

        Kuind of crazy to spend 160 bucks in one month during the holiday season.
        sucks to be a boxing fanatic

        you don't seem too happy about having to buy the DLH fight.

        going with none of the above, but if given a choice I'd prob get Calzaghe-Jones .. I think it should be the more entertaining of the 2 as Hopkins tends to spoil fights

          [QUOTE=HTownTexan;4166701]The DLH vs Pac fight is a given.

          I dont care how much we ***** about it, 90% of us will buy it, and the other 10% will party at a friends or watch it at a bar.



          if i could go off on a minor tangent and touch on some points previously made regarding (the Dream fight) and tie it back into the bold

          obviously the boxing community is kinda split regarding this "Dream fight" some really look forward to it, others intrigued by the size differential ... and then there are others who just find it as a pathetic excuse for De La Hoya to use the Pound For Pound #1 fighter in the world and sucker fans into buying the "biggest fight of the year" i used to take this stance of extreme hatred for the fight

          but when looking at the overall picture, I don't really care about Pacquiao, or DLH or even the outcome .. so I see myself as neutral toward it

          anyway there's been boycotts suggested ... "**** the fight" posts ... anyone who's buying this fight = a moron .. from the elitists ... you get the picture

          and im referencing a post a while back from Left Hook Tua .. not calling you out, just using what you said as an example for above

          anyway, going back to that bolded "" above, IMO that's why fans are so despising of this fight, it's attitudes like that ^.

          do you really think 90% of the fans will buy this fight, or are you just saying that to make yourself feel better about getting a fight that even you don't seem all that enthused about getting

          **heck I've seen so many posters on here say they aren't too happy about DLH/Pac .. yet are buying it anyway. and they call me an idiot, lol

          I'd have to say spending $55 for a fight im not that wild about is worse, but that's just me.

          and what's this "have to" crap lol. just because "90 of us" will buy it doesn't mean YOU have to

          be different. you know that saying ''if everyone was jumping off a bridge would you do it too?"

          well go against the grain! pee in the wind!

          try it, lol.

            If I had the choice and could only pick one, I would say RJJ-Calzaghe.

            Probably the last time I will see those guys and I have thought about this fight happening for years.

            I don't think I would ever pay to see BHop at this stage of the game.

              I know what you mean but I would buy this fight regardless.

              I have met ODLH 2 times and both times he was erally ****in cool. I took a picture with him at the World Awaits Tour. Then when his book came out I blew the picture up. He was only signing books, but when he saw that picture he asked if it was ok for him to sign it. He didnt have to but he did. He signed my cousins glove when he didnt have to. He was ONLY SIGNING BOOKS. But because of how he was when I met him those 2 times I will never turn my back on Oscar. Yeah he might be greedy, or this or that, and maybe this fight shouldnt go off. But the 2 times I met him a memorable moments that I wont forget. When I am old with gray hair I will tell my kids I met him. When they are talking about who would win, their generations great fighter or Oscar. I love boxing so much, and for him to be like that was something that he didnt have to do. I already bought the book, thats all he wanted. But he went out of his way to make at least this fan happy. And for that I will always be thankful to him.

                that's pretty cool man, I see where your coming from regarding DLH

                Pro's get a reputation as being stuck up ******s but that really goes to show you that they all aren't

                I mean im not too fond of DLH and think he's sucking the sport dry

                but to be specifically only signing books

                and to sign your picture+cousin's gloves anyway, that's pretty ****in cool.
