its being replayed the very next day on hbo so im just gonna catch the replay.

The very next day or the next weekend?

It's not being replayed until the next week and I have spent money on lesser ppv's before. This fight deserves the hype it's getting in my opinion. The price isn't great but that's nothing new. The only ppv's I will never buy are the heavyweight ppv's.

lol

I'm not paying for it anyway. My mom is sending me money for it because March 20 is my 19th birthday, and also, I can just go down the street to some dude's house to watch it if I want.

Freaky! I agree with every word of this post..even the part about heavy wt. ppv's!

I'm not waiting an entire week to see just the one fight, not when I can watch all 4 fights..especially when the main event alone is worth the price. Cant ask for a more exciting match up, and like Mic I've paid the same price for some very boring fights..this fight will be anything but boring!

45 bucks though, it's worth just ignoring boxing sites for a week and watching it the next week. 45 bucks buys you:

a tank and a half of gas
lots of steak,chicken,or pork
an expensive steak out at a grade A restaurant
a tub of Muscle Milk
a week of eating at a chinese buffet, or 2 dates at a decent chinese buffet
10 movie tickets

u would trade any of these just to see some overhyped fight a week early?

I'd only throw up on it if it was like 9-10 of us. 5 bucks each or less seems worth it to me, and even then I won't enjoy the fight as much as I would if I were to just ignore the press/boxing sites and watch it a week later in my own home, cause when a big punch lands everyone jumps outta their chair blocking the view and I gotta stand up to see whats going down..im just gonna catch it next week, tape it, and watch it over and over again later on afterwards, by myself, in total concentration.

some people watch boxing to say 'oohhh look at that guy getting punched etc'. me, i watch it and study it like it's a trig problem, i simply watch fights better alone, or with people who dont jump outta their seat when a large punch is landed, ruining my concentration.

i prefer not to surround myself with novices when a big fight comes around, even if they are my friends.

I think the $44.95 is well worth it to any true boxing fan, sure if it was on regular cable that would be great, but its not. Morales is well deserving of the money and pac is one of the hotter men in the sport right now. I dont know how anybody could say that this bout is not woth the pay per view cost. People still pay the money to watch Tyson and if anybody is truely not worth the cost it would be him against anybody, not a great match like Morales and Pac...............Rockin'
