      It is not priced reasonably also. They should charge non-commercial subscribers a much lower rate.

        If you get your money's worth, I think its OK. The biggest problem is that 9 out 10, you won't get your money's worth. That's why PPV stinks. That's why boxing is dying.

            Zab is fighting some nobody, again. Who cares about Zab, he's a chicken ****. When offered the fight with Cintron he turned it down only to talk **** afterwards.

            Tito will win this fight, tho. I'm paying to see Mayo get his ass KOd for the first time.

              Mayorga's been KO'd before in 1993.

                Far to many PPVs now. If they had purse fights, that would improve the sport. I will watch any two people fight. But I won't pay for any fight. Tito has always been one of my favorites to watch. I just cant twist my arm hard enough to shell out 50 for this. I paid for DLH vs Hopkins, If showtime didn't have their "free" card playing, I would have twisted harder. I hope the compitition is like this, it may make these major networks wake up.

                  If you like to see talented, quality fighters in a super-competitive fight...you'll watch the Showtime card to see OUMA-PHILLIPS, not Wlad-Williamson.

                  Tito-Mayorga, no matter what, is a super-intriguing & potentially explosive match.
                  The styles are there, & so is the importance.

                    I'm still not sure if I'll buy this one or not. The main thing that worries me is that if I do go ahead and order it they might replay it anyway next Sat. I doubt it cause there isnt another fight scheduled for next Sat., so there will be no need to replay it on the undercard. So, the minute I dont rent it , they wont replay it; the minute I do rent it, they will replay it and I'll feel like an ass.

                      HBO doesn't have a "free" card until Nov. 20.
