    Might sound good on an undercard but there opponents are the deciding factor. Both of there opponents blow balls.


    Sames goes for that Oscar card, I hate his cards packed with a bunch of fly swatting latino's. Dont get me wrong it is his thing to do so and I have nothing against them but how many times do I have to pay to see Fernando Montiel...Oscar's cards are horrid to me.

    I will still end up ordering each and every ppv card that is shown on television but if I had to pick which one, I would pick Mayweather vs Gatti but neither of them are really decent cards.
    You still get to see fighters u dont see often on TV like Harris and Brock and comebacks always entertain me, Forrest is a great boxer and should be good to watch come back. Although i do agree with you about the fly weight ****

      I am thinking of ordering Hopkins vs. Taylor because if Hopkins wins thats freaking crazy. A 40 year old man beating a 26 year old prospect! Hopkins better get credit if he wins.

        The Harris and Brock fight at best is B.A.D. but better off on Sho or ESPN. None of the top main events coming up are really ppv caliber.

        Forrest has had his better days behind him, I never liked him from the beginning and wont at the end.

        It just agitates me all to hell after the horrid **** I had to sit through for the Trinidad vs Winky fight.

        The only decent ppv this year was the ESPN card and nothing has even came close. I hate ppv now the better cards are just on the normal station.

        I mean hell is Burgos vs Grigsby even worth $4.95 let alone a $49.95 package?

        Undercards always suck and give you no hype to the main event because the undercard is usually a dud and most ppv fights are as well.

        Id boycott them all to hell but I enjoy boxing to much.

          I guess your right in a sense, but what about the guys who like Forrest and who like Harris and Brock, I watched Mayweather DESTROY Bruseles.. and even if that was ppv i would have ordered it. I guess it depends if u like the fighters or not. But i do agree with the whole ppv idea.

            You know what would sound better??

            Morales-Pacquiao main event

            with undercards

            Mayweather-Gatti
            Hopkins-Taylor
            Arce-Hussein


            Thats what it should be like




            btw I'd have to say the best ppv this year was Morales-Pacquiao..

            not cuz of the main event but they also had Arce-Hussein..

              This is why I love Don King ppv's people trash him but he always has his cards stacked from top to bottom with legit fights and champions.

              Forrest, Harris, Brock all should be featured on a Boxing After Dark telecasts. I miss those we use to get a lot of good boxing from HBO now we have to a wait a month or two for an average fight and never get to see any good fights. HBO use to showcase good cards on the WCB and BAD series but never anymore.

              Hell I would be satisfied with another Night of heavyweights card featuring Brock, Peter,Williamson. But we get none of that.

              All I am saying is that the ppv cards are really not worthy of a person hard earned money for all the right reasons. The ppv buyers are stiffed for there money and are taken advantage of because of the point you state. "Well what about the people who want to see there favorite fighter" HBO and promoters know this and they can throw Forrest for an example and the forrest fans will be like "Man Vernon is fighting tonight" yeah well it doesnt matter he isnt fighting anybody significant for a person to pay.

              It is evil and I hate seeing people get taken advantage of.

                I think Hopkins-Taylor is the better undercard, but the 2 main events of both are very interesting. In the Gatti-Mayweather undercard, you have 2 mismatches essentially just to showcase up and coming fighters.

                  You are the reason they continue to put this crap on TV. If the mayweather fans really loved him, they would have boycotted that fight with Brusseles. If Mayweather can make $1,000,000 fighting guys like Corely and Bruselles, why should he take hard fights with guys like Castillo?

                    Yeah i guess your right I mean what about all of those Chavez fans who pay ppv to watch him fight Ivan Robinson at age 43. Also if i remember correctly that Bruseles Mayweather fight was a WBC title eliminator and Corley was his first fight coming up to 140. So yeah that makes sense, dont fight for the WBC elimantor just go back down and fight a division you have already dominated and leave all of the big money fights alone. Sounds smart to me, but I guess your right, lets just make him #1 coteneder for every weight class he moves up to without a fight. So he can fight "Hard" guys
