I truly miss the days when all the Tyson fights came on regular HBO, I think that may be one of the reasons he was as popular (besides his vicious KO's of course) everyone could watch his 1 round demolitions and not be upset they paid $60 to see it.
    WTF you talking about. People across the world paid for PPV. In the UK they paid for it because as fans, 1 round of excitement is good if not better than 12 rounds of low output.

            Tyson's fights weren't on PPV, not until round the mid 90's with that TVKO bullsh-t, perhaps thats what you are referring to. Lets recall Tyson's career started in the 80s

              I rather see a fighter get KTFO and try to win than simply try to surivive and get a paycheck which Clottey did. CLottey likely will move up in weight but his rep has been so hurt that nobody would pay to see him. I give him credit for an iron chin and the ability to take punches but you need to try to win s fight. CLottey fought only in sporadic bunches.

                Sorry I mean in the UK.

                We were happy to pay for it.

                Infact if boxing was as popular today now, there would be a lot of people following it. However the lack of sensational KOs, and the fact that boxing is just too spread out now, it's hard to follow unless you are a proper fan.

                    Only one I've regretted buying afterwards in recent memory. Always fun watching Pacquiao go to work, but Clottey just didn't rise to the occasion at all.

                    But I like supporting great fighters like Pacquiao and Mayweather. And $50 really isn't too much, so oh well.
                    It wasn´t Manny´s fault...you can imagine now PBF vs PAC...the only difference is that PBF can and will connect a lot more...I didn´t like the way Clottey easly got to him when he threw.
