    I'm British so the only one I actually payed for individually was Mayweather v Hatton (I'm pretty sure Floyd v Oscar was Sky Sports One), and it wasn't remotely disappointing to me.

    My only quarrells in the named fights were:
    - Mayweather seemingly carrying Oscar at times.
    - Mayweather not showing quite enough offense against Baldomir.

    I'm always happy to watch and rewatch Floyd fights though as his technique can be just as wowing as any brutal knock outs for me.

      And it was great from any boxing fans stand point even if you were rooting for Gatti. It was exciting and added drama. We knew Gatti was getting a beat down, the question was how much could he take in comparison to other fights. Its just MY opinion, but if he did this more (not talking about fights where he understandably shouldn't take chances) many of his PPV's wouldn't be as disappointing. Thats just my opinion.

        We dont pay for fights so i really cant feel any disappointment, But people that buy fights have to understand the sort of fights they are buy, If a fight end soo early then sometimes you might feel like you have been robbed..Am sure a lot of people wouldnt want tyson KO opponents before they could even get their drinks.

          Come on my man, You know he isn't selling fights with his style but with his mouth. Kudo's for making that money, he just isn't going to make it off me. Now if he were more exciting I would have no problem shelling out the cash. But don't keep telling me you're gonna deliver the goods and not come through. ?That I will not buy.

              That sucks too. But at least you get some charge of adrenalin. When I pay for something I want to feel something. Boxing is like a drug. If its not getting you high, whats the point?

                At least hatton there showed how floyd sr trained him.

                The worst one was the Tyson-Spinks fight were i thought iron mike just tapped his face and leon sleeps immediately to collect his pay.

                  If hes boring. Dont watch him. Its that simple bro.

                  I mean cmon bro he didnt start fighting yesterday. You know what you get with him.

                  You said he should fight more exciting. I clearly gave you a whole post why that logic is flawed and you only responded to the last line I wrote.

                    Deliver what goods?

                    Everybody he fights he dominates.

                      I liked the Hatton fight.

                      The other fights could of been better though.
