    HBO and PPV's

    Is it just me, or do most of HBO's fights seem to be PPV lately?

    I mean, I could understand it 5-10 years ago when there were some seriously competitive fights, but the ones recently seem to be pure trash.

    Last week was the Heavyweight snorefest, next week in Morales-Barrera XVII followed by Williams-Klit.

    The only PPV card I've seen recently that was even halfway worth buying was the Trinidad-Mayorga fight, and that was only to see if Tito had anything left.
    The only one that was truly worth watching was Sturm kicking DLH's ass.

    The Wright-Mosely fight tonight was a far better fight than anything that's been on PPV lately. I would go so far as to say that Shobox has more exciting cards.

    I think I'm done with PPV for a while, at least until they have a card worth paying $50 for.

    Thats the way its going. Money money money. Its the doom of boxing. PPV is the only way they can get decent purses for some of the bums they have posing as champions.

        Not cheap, I just don't see the value in paying to see what they're serving up.

          I'm an idiot for not paying for a PPV in which Ruiz headlines? I guess so. Give me a decent After Dark match up anyday.
