    The Top Rank Live Cards are better than the events undercard.

    I tried to see the positive side to the undercard in the event, in fact i only invited over hard core boxing fans to my house to watch the fight, cause i suspected i'd dissapoint casual fans.

    But honestly i told myself the matches, though insignificant to boxing, were at least matched up well to be entertaining. Boy did i have myself fooled.

    I am opposed to streaming fights that are available for purchase in your area, I don't judge anyone who does it, i have friends that stream fights, and i'll stream a fight if its not available either on cable or ppv in my area, but i've always fealt like it was taking money out of fighters pockets (you could argue that it really only takes money out of promoters pockets, but sadley the two go hand in hand, its much like saying i'm not donating to a charity because some of the money goes to opporating costs)

    But honesly i can't see myself giving top rank anymore money unless they put on a decent card, more that just 1 superstar, 1 boxer thats known to hardcore boxing fans only, and a slew of has beens and never weres.

    I've bought bad cards before, but this is the first one i've really fealt burned on, and i bought hopkins pavlik.

      Top Rank card with Pavlik-Rubio & Cotto-Jennings was another stinker.

      I was pretty disappointed by the showing last night. Pacquiao and Gomez were the only ones with a little fire in their stomach.

          Good point, i blanked that one from my memory banks cause that main event was pretty good, so i guess i forgave the undercard.
