Juan Diaz out,Still Ordering that ESPN PPV?

[Soundtraveler]

Yeah, it's a shame about the cut, I talked to Ronnie Shields (Juans' trainer) about it last Saturday morning, he said it is a particularly bad cut, jagged, about an inch or so long and right on the crease of the eyelid itself. It will take some time to heal, but he said it was a very delicate place to have to get sewn up. It required a very talented (and expensive) surgeon to get the job done right. Too bad because Juan is a very talented fighter...

Yeah im still ordering, still a very good card for the money! Cant wait!!

Definitally still ordering it, ESPN is on to something- instead of one good fight, one decent undercard fight and a bunch of **** to fill time for a whopping fifty dollars, they put together a top to bottom entertaining card at almost half the price! What a novel idea!

The card wasn't worth 10 cents WITH Diaz-Elder, now it's barely worth a penny....c'mon guys, 2 complete mismatches and a Boxing After Dark-style main event, being shown on pay-per-view?!?! Let me save everyone the trouble: Mosley UD, Brock UD, and Cintron by a controversial SpD (it's a Main Events card, NO WAY that Margarito wins any close rounds)

i bet you paid twice as much to watch don kings heavyweight crap last december and klitmoes last fight.

The Margarito-Cintrón bout should be something and Mosley's return to 147 sounds interesting. It is a good buy for those who have the money.

Any true boxing fan would order this, Diaz or no Diaz.

Bull****. Any true boxing fan would BOYCOT PPV fights entirely unless it's a huge event, with strictly top billed fighters and no less than 4 hours of great boxing.

I didn't buy Don King's heavyweight bull**** last year.

And the Klitchko/Williams card was one of the best fight cards I'd seen in a couple of years. Every fight on the card was great.




When you guys buy PPV's that aren't filled with the very top names in boxing, you're encouraging promoters to make more and more average cards into PPV "events". The more it happens, the greater the chance that sometime in the near future, every fight we see will be a PPV fight.

I was seriously considering buying this PPV, it looked great, and I'm a huge fan, and the price....and so on...but now, with my own financial situation on top of the Diaz debacle, I just can't afford it. I'm just gonna save up for Trinidad-Wright now, and then worry about whether to buy Mayweather-Gatti, Hopkins-Taylor in July and/or De La Hoya - (hopefully) Judah in September...

Damn, when did 50 bucks become the norm for PPV? The ESPN price WAS great for the value, and is still very good, but I have to carefully plan and save to afford 3 PPVs for the rest of this year, and the Diaz injury dropped this one off my radar...

Nope a friend of mine is ordering but Tracy enlightened me that ESPN use to trash HBO/SHO for making ppvs and now they are doing it...So for their betrayal they wont get my hard earned money.

Overall it is a good card but it doesnt really excite me in anyway...I dont care for any of the fighters on the card.

I am saving my money for Trinidad/Wright and Mayweather/Gatti (of course depending on the undercard)

Also I order all of Kings ppv fights, It is the only way I get to see my favorite heavyweight fight and his cards are usually stacked with decent names...

Holyfield vs Donald
Rahman vs Meehan
Byrd vs Mccline
Ruiz vs Golota

Overall that was a pretty decent card for a heavyweight card and didnt mind shelling out the money especially since replays are not their the following week.
