    The card is PPV worthy, but the main event is weak. They're just out to milk the mexican and mexican-american fans.

      So you guys wouldent buy Ward vs. Gatti or Vasquez vs. Marquez if they were put on PPV with a stacked undercard instead of regular cable? That's basically the same thing with Marquez vs. Diaz!

        I think this is PPV worthy, the main event isn't all that but the undercard is great.
        That undercard is far from great. We've just been so used to watching **** undercards that it seems like it is. It's a pretty good undercard yeah, but the main event is WCB worthy at best.

          Vasquez/Marquez was a title fight that lead to the best trilogy in boxing history.
          Ward/Gatti was a monster fight and one of the biggest upsets (Ward was 37-11) in recent boxing history.

          Marquez/Diaz was a damn good fight, but that's all it was. Marquez and Diaz lost their last fights. They both suck at 140.

          There's no point to this rematch (Diaz will lose again) and no reason for it to be on HBO PPV

            HBO must really like Diaz cause he keeps getting paydays even though he keeps losing.

                Every single one of those fights on the undercard have a good chance of not delivering any **** for the buck. Who wants to watch some old guy with hardly any legs that hasn't fought a meaningful fight in god knows how long and then Juarez is back on a PPV? Linares is rewarded with a PPV undercard after getting iced? At least HBO isn't paying for this. But it's bad that fight fans are so easily conned by GBP's scheme of putting shot fighters on PPV.

                I guarantee you every fight on that card will be a let down.

                  Well Clottey has been in PPV coming of a loss... where is the problem in having a rematch of a foty candidate with a good undercard in it??

                  Some people say they won't buy "boring" fighters fights... And then some complain about not buying this PPV cause its gonna be a war, but both came of a loss...

                    Sadly, I agree with you man. Most of those guys are nothing but disappointments, Linares is a prospect and the only other guy I'm excited about is Casa but he's like 100 now.

                    Shaeffer acts like he's doing us a favor w/ this **** though.

                      The cards as a whole is the best of the year.
