The card is AWESOME, the PPV is good and worth that amount, but could be better.
The most interesting fights on the undercard, Helenius-*****ko and Pulev-Olouken, are not being shown.
The PPV will start with the most boring fight, Ruiz vs. Serin.
We'll see another boring match, the shot Sergey Lyakhovich vs. the perennial tomato can Jeremy Bates.
However they are showing the most exciting young cruiserweight in Europe, Alexander Frenkel, against former world titleholder Kelvin Davis. The best KO so far in 2009 IMO was by Frenkel.
If they were opening with Pulev-Olouken, and then showed *****ko-Helenius and Frenkel-Davis WITHOUT the Ruiz and Lyakhovich fights, it would be an awesome PPV.
Besides Frenkel, Pulev and Helenius, there are 4 other undefeated up-and-comers on the card as well, and any of those would be worth watching but are not televised.
Where i am, they have it live for $24.99 then a rebroadcast immediately following for $9.99, i'm going to probably get the rebroadcast, 'cos i feel this fight should be free, but $10 bucks is reasonable with the undercard (only a little more than renting a new release) I prefer to watch these events live, but 11am is a little early for boxing and beer, the rebroadcast is at 3pm, which should be fine for the extra curriculars
Seriously, these PPV companies have no idea how dead the HW division is but they still charge 20+ dollars just to watch 2 lazy bums hug each other all day.
I stream fights i don't feel should cost anything, and this is one that you could make that argument for, its more a novelty fight than a true boxing match, but for $12 its worth it, and I like to pay for fights when i feel they warrent the cost 'cos I like to support quality fights.
