pavlik v. hopkins undercards

[The_Italian]

i watched match streamed instead of buying it . . . but i usually buy. if the undercards were better i would have considered buying but i felt the card was weak. it was a catchweight fight, with no titles on the line and it was suppose to be an easy win for pav so i thought i wont buy this one.

while watching the stream during main event there were over 16,000 viewers! i'm pretty sure thats more then actually bought the fight (i think i heard arum say it was 11,000 buys but i am not positive about that).

theres just too many ppv's that has gotta change, or at least put together worth while undercards to make the purchase more justifiable . . .

you have it 100% right...

if they want to charge $50 stack the undercards with good fighters...

my thought is if HBO wouldnt consider televising the undercard fighters of FREE HBO then they shouldnt televise them on HBO PPV!!!

plain and simple...i wouldnt mind if the undercards had prospects on it if they are any good...i wouldnt mind seeing something out of the tripleheaders HBO puts on...put up someone we heard of at least...sometimes i see undercard fighters with 5-1 records fighting someone else 3-1...im like what the **** did they do to deserve to get on a PPV card?

scam...its all a scam.

I didn't mind. I was impressed with Jacobs. The Rubio fight was good, but went to the wrong person. Dib-Luevano was awful, but eh. The main event made up for it.

he was scared of luevano in my opinon...

anyone remember dirrel v. stevens??? it was just about that bad...

I wouldn't go that far...

[keepthemhandsup]

I ordered the hopkins v. pavlik PPV and i wanted to know if i was the only one that wasnt impressed with the undercards???

the rubio fight was entertaining for the most part but the first undercard and last undercard didnt deliever in my opinion.

HBO charges us $50 to watch a ppv (well they charged me $55 because my directv wouldnt allow me to order via remote so i had to pay an EXTRA $5 to order by phone...greedy bastards) and 9 times out of 10 all we really get our money's worth is the main event...9 times out of 10 the undercards are damn near tourture because they arent stacked with good matchups...

the dibb/luevano (sp???) fight was tourture...boring...dibb was scared of luevano for damn near all 12 rounds...and danny jacobs stopped his opponent in the first round...

i think we need to start getting cards WORTH $50 if thats what they are going to charge.

end of story.

thoughts???

you didn't like the frist undercard? i thought it was good because we seen a young propsect....

the second one was a good fight....they really was just fighting in the center of the ring and either could had won it....but i thought rubio deserved to win it.

and what you mean Dibs fight was boring?! that dude is an ATG/GOAT/HOF!!


BUT they could had done better in the undercards....i almost fell alseep

Email HBO about it.

HBO are deliberately scamming people it reaks of greed.
I think Billy Dib is a pretty good fighter though.
You guys just didn't get to see him fighting a busy fight.

the first fight was good to see a young prospect but we didnt really get to see him...a first round KO doesnt ever tell the story of a prospect...just makes you wait a couple months to see him fight again...

rubio's fight was the best undercard and i dont disagree it was action-packed...probably the only undercard that deserved to be on that PPV card...

the dibbs fight was a joke...

hahahahahha now thats comedy

note where he is from??? isnt dibbs from australia too? if i remember right he is...and thats why he says he's pretty good...i never really heard about dibbs but i know i dont want to watch him fight again...especially on a card that costs $50...he should be fighting on ESPN.

[alonsomosely]

I had no problem watching Billy Dib besides that he is one of the dirtiest fighter i ever seen.

Other: Luevano looks like he would be 12.
