Is anybody dumb enough to pay $50 to watch two losers who just got knocked out?

    I know its a recession, but give me a ****in break.
    Boxing fans are the worst, a good card is actually put together and many of you cant help but complain.
    4 solid fights???

      To be fair dude it is not a good card for a PPV. I buy a ton of PPVs and whilst I do not have the option of buying this one (as I live in Australia) I doubt I could see myself paying $50 for it when I can just download it the next day. And I am a massive Cotto fan and I quite like Pavlik.

        Well there's a deal for tickets for Cotto-Jennings. There's something like 20% off, so the cheapest ticket would be $40 PLUS they will show Pavlik Rubio

          50 dollars, WTF. And they're fighting undercard level fighters. I ain't paying for ****. I'll read about it on here after the fights.

            lol you guys dont know how this industry works, do you?

            its difficult to deal with fighters who are accostumed to earning loads coming off a loss, why?they have exorbitant minimum guarantees.....therefore tv networks are not willing to buy such highly priced mismatches(at least not in 2009, HBO is getting their head straight), and since arum has to keep em busy and earning, the only way to aspire to make the event profitable, is to run it on ppv.....

            mosley-margarito wouldve been ppv if the fighters had not been reasonably flexible with their purses......

              I ordered boring hopkins, mayweather, hatton, wright and tarver fights. I'm definately ordering a ppv with two exciting fighters on it.

                granted neither campbell, cintron, or martinez are the caliber of miguel cotto,

                BUT

                the tickets for this past saturday were buy 1 get 1 free, w/ the lowest ticket price being $25.....meaning you could've gotten a ticket for $12 and some change. that's a deal, and the card will end up being just as good, if not better than this one.....when all is said and done.

                  those fights you ordered were those fighters against "other" good fighters. you get two exciting fighters on this card, yes......not fighting each other tho.

                  i don't care who you are....there's no way you can justify this **** being on ppv.....

                    to be honest even though I hate these type of cards it COULD be worse.

                    Duddy is a guaranteed action fight at least.

                      My friend wants to order it just because we saw the Cotto vs Margs fight live....

                      He is a fan of Cotto now, but a bigger fan of Toni...

                      I converted another.....
