    What a ****ing joke!

    I hold Jones and Tarver directly responsible, they ripped off fight fans so bad the week before that there was no way most were about to shell out another $50.

    Thanks alot Toney and Roy, you both owe Chico and Castillo a couple hundred grand each!
    wtf do you keep saying Toney?

    I think the fight lost money simply because of Tarver/Jones and the fact that Chico and Castillo are not household names...which they should be...that is a fault of the sport and its screwed up state that fighters like them don't get the exposure throughout their careers

      "Toney" = Antonio Tarver.

        This fight had some great word of mouth.....I though it would have sold better.
        Perhaps those passing on the good words should have thrown in how Corrales once hit his pregnant wife ? Maybe that would have given it the Tyson-effect ?
        I guess we have the same opinion.The first fight that Castillo and Corrales gave us was better than anything Tyson ever did his whole career, put together.

            That's true. I have never seen Cliff in a bad fight.

              No but seriously. When did Tyson ever show the balls to get up and stop someone that actually gave him a fight? Corrales did.When did Tyson ever show he could he come and beat someone that Koed him? Castillo did.

                  Tarver/Jones III is why the numbers are less than expected. I thought this fight would at least break 350,000 buys because on fight night damn near every street in my neighborhood was filled with cars which means that most people around my way bought the fight.

                    It might have been a swinger party and not the fight? Maybe?

                      I think there's no doubt all the fuss about the weight the night before effected the numbers.
