    Commentary last night was very strange, I think even they were feeling that this event was a letdown, Manny Steward got to arguing with Lamps and Kellerman on the air, and Lampley and the **** routine was entertaining but very out of place. I think he really was trying anything to enhance excitement.
    I had UK commentators.

    I wanna watch it from HBO because they talk differently and I learn new stuff.

    HBO seems to add excitement for me, but it looks like it was very funny.

    I'm a Roy Jones fan as a commentator, and Foreman was too.

    I Hate Kellerman, I just do.

    Lampley was cool for me, but I saw that video and it was funny as hell lol. It was like he was near ******ing and couldn't stop lol.

    Steward is cool in my eyes. He stands up for himself and boxing. What did they argue over?

      Floyd vs Baldomir would be an equivalent, I dont remember those numbers but look them up
      I don't think half of the Floyd fans on this site would by Floyd/Clottey.

        Why would anybody after seeing Clottey stink it up for 12 rounds. Clottey is over as a PPV fighter.

          As far as fighters doing commentary Roy Jones was one of my favorites, I mean I have fights on dvd that he commentated and the guy is almost right on with everything he says. I never cared for Big George too much, he was really what we would call a nuthugger on these boards. His love for De La Hoya was just too much for me. Kellerman is annoying but he is basically one of us, a real fan who got to break into the business, we'd all love to be Max right now.

            I don't know... I think Arum is losing his flair that was just a half ass "Event" all around. poorly promoted and a poor undercard. It seems like he wasn't even trying. This shouldn't have been on PPV. The Floyd fight was ppv worthy due to the intrigue of floyd coming back after an 18 month layoff and a pretty good undercard but this was just shotty across the board. Just being honest.

              You are correct they didn't even try to make a decent undercard.

                  So you're saying when someone loses badly on a PPV, they lose some PPV clout?

                    Yes especially when it looks like they didn't even show up.

                      So you just explained why Floyd/DLH and Floyd/Hatton outdid Pac/DLH and Pac/Hatton in PPV sales.

                      Floyd/DLH was boring by casual fans' standards. And Hatton? Floyd made him look like a fool. Its a wonder Pac's fights with these 2 even broke a million PPV buys.
