      I think Cotto/Lopez/Chavez Jr are the biggest ones that are guilty for this.

        You heard it here first. Questioning why someone is fighting a non-quality opponent on PPV is the same as robbing these people and taking food out of the mouths of their children.

        All of you so-called "boxing fans" should be put into jail for theft.

            I'm white, and that slur is offensive to women.

                Its just buisness man.

                The budget for Manny - Clottey or JMM - Floyd is to big for regular HBO BAD, or showtime series so the only way to air that fight would be on PPV.

                The only time this wouldnt happen is if the fighter is willing to take a massive pay cut for their fight to be on regular tv, like Oscar - Forbes a couple years back.

                    when did these floyd fans get so high and mighty?

                    They told us mosley shouldnt even considered a tuneup for Manny and it was a robbery by Arum.


                    All of a sudden A spadafora fight is a good gesture by Floyd to feed a broke fighter, and floyd needs another tuneup. So all the floyd fans look the other way just because its floyd. When does it all end?

                      True that. Remember even De La Hoya, the biggest cash cow ever tune up fight with Steve Forbes was on regular HBO.
