Or Joe Calzaghe- Roy Jones or Hoya- Pacquiao. Why we're having so many mismatches in 08? The fights that should happen don't happen until it's too late. Williams should be fighting the big names, Pavlik and Abraham should have already fought just to mention a few...

Agreed. One main event that doesn't live up to the hype basically flushes your $50 down the toilet. There's nothing to fall back on. With great undercard matchups then the event can be saved and bring people back to PPV next time the "superfight" season rolls around.
The rest should be on HBO/Showtime or even network TV. What's the worst that can happen?? A few fat cats take a minimal paycut and the sport brings in a new generation of fans. That can't possibly hurt.Comment

What I would like to see on ppv cards is as follows:
You're paying $50 for the privilege. The card should be at least 3 hours, maybe 4. Show some of the four, six, eight and ten round fights. Fuck it, broadcast the whole damn show. Give me a good reason why not! The regular commentators can hang around until the last three events and do what they usually do. It isn't like there's a shortage of lesser sportscasters and interns to cover the rest of the fights. Hands up who wouldn't do this **** for free!
At least four of the fights should be worthwhile. A title fight, maybe an Olympic medalist early in their pro career and a couple of decent second tier fighters going at it in an eliminator should be the focus of the undercard. The main event should be a superfight. We're talking Hatton vs Pacqiuao or Mayweather vs De La Hoya, at the very least a unification fight, a big fucking deal.
If Ricky Hatton or Manny Pacquiao is fighting a mandatory that ain't a pay per view. If Oscar De La Hoya is fighting a tune up... it ain't a pay per view.
That's what I want to see from a ppv. Hell I'd buy a Hatton PPV anyway but I wouldn't feel good about it.Comment
