    Who said boxing was dead?

    Top Rank nailed it tonight, excellent job on their parts.

    It would have been easy to put the Cotto and Pavlik fights as the co-feature in a single venue, but instead they pack out two.

    This must surely be a good omen for the sport we all love.

          The fights where one sided beat downs like they were supposed to be, I'm glad i didn't have to pay for it. Terrible PPV

            These fights should have been on HBO not PPV so putting them together was just an attempt to legitimize ripping people off.

                I can see where you are coming from but the whether it should have been PPV or not is irrelevant.

                Just looking at how packed both venues were, I think it's safe to say boxing is still very much alive.

                  I would have been very satisfied if they lowered the PPV cost somewhere between $10-$20. But having it $50 made me watch a stream online.

                    I hope you using sarcasm.
                    Those fights ******, they weren't competitive at all. Cotto fought a nobody who was afraid of him from the start, and Pavlik fought a bum that couldn't even box.
                    Seriously these types of fights are good for the fighters returning from previous defeat, but bad for fans that want to see good competitive matches.
                    All we got is one-sided beatdowns of boxers who might as well would have been amateurs.
