    got to a bar, order some wings and 2 beers, you still spending $30-35......

    this **** isn't even bar worthy, and i don't know where you live, but bars pay a high price for showing ppv's.......

    their not gonna even show this **** if they don't think they can make their money back.

    by the way, the bmw dude is the second person saying "4 solid fights," i'm still trying to figure out which fights he's talking aobut. maybe he's the same person that said that ****.

      Arum could have tried a little harder with the undercard. Now that Peterson has dropped out, it's looking mediocre at best. What happens if both main events end up quick KO's? Duddy/Vanda will produce fireworks, but Duddy's got decent power, I think he'll take Vanda out quick. At this point I will not be ordering it.

      I mean Arum had a great chance to stack this card. Malignaggi/Alvarado was possible. Clottey/Cintron was rumored at one point. He could have kept Clottey busy with a decent tune-up after Cintron pulled out. Just really poorly done on his part.

        arum could of made a better card. he knows how to. espn2 has better fights than this. i think in a strugging economy this is a slap in the face. hate to be a ***** but this pisses me off coming from a sport i love.

          Agreed. I really like Cotto and Pavlik. They're 2 of my favorite fighters. But 45 bucks to watch them fight tuneups is excessive. These should be on HBOCB together or BAD on different cards. I actually may not buy it and I usually buy every pos they send down the pike.

            What is a lot of money is all relative. For what this PPV offers, $45 is overpriced IMO. But I sincerely hope that you enjoy it and feel it was worth your money when it is over. I'll be out for most of that show anyway so it isn't even an option for me.

              45 dollars is a lot of money when you're paying your way through school and have rent to pay.

                It has nothing to do with the money. Its about contributing to these B.S ppv's that they will keep feeding us as long as guys like you continue to buy them.
