How many of these 9 pay per views were actually pay per view worthy? Imo there should be no more than 6 in one year if that many.

The bold ones had no business being on PPV

I say there should have only been 4 PPV's this year. Honestly, we only had two real fights that deserved PPV. I can understand why RJJ v Trindad and Oscar V Pac were PPV though. 4-5 PPV's is enough IMO.

I agree, but also Pavlik Taylor should have been on a different weekend. It was ****** to put it on the same weekend as NBA All Star's weekend. That and besides Taylor-Pavlik 2, they all needed better cards.

Jones vs tito
JMM vs Pac
Margarito vs Cotto

are the only ppv's that were worth it! 9 is too damn much! that's almost one a month. I know they had made a commitment to hold less ppv's but i guess they didnt stick with it

Pavlik is a bum and is not PPV class he beat 1 good fighter.

**MANGLER** · 11-30-2008, 06:08 PM

A couple of em were worthy of bein PPV, at least the main event was. Cotto-Marg was probably the only one that was good all around. but **** PPV. Obviously if we had our way no fights would be on PPV since we already pay extra for premium channels like Showtime and HBO on our cable bills.

So glad I live in England, get most fights for free and the ones on PPV are cheap compared to American prices.
