    there is a saturation point to everything and I have to think the buying public would not go out of their way for a $100 PPV.

    as it stands with a relatively cheap undercard (about 2 million) it's going to be hard to create a profit suitable enough for all involved to make it happen

    say what you will about those involved but while we all would love to see this fight happening it won't simply because economically there will have to be a ton of creative thinking to make it happen IF the purses I hear are happening

      I can see it happenin.....this fight is being demanded by the entire globe, so even in this economy it will sell huge... I would glady put down $100 for this card without blinking! Just think if they do like $22 mill at the gate & sell 3 million in ppv at $100 a pop they would get their investment back and then some...

        ALL ppv cards should resemble something like this. and not for 100 beans either.

          $100 is only $30 north of what we pay anyway so I dnt see too many people turning a fight of this magnitude with a unheard of undercard like that down over 30 bucks

            True, but if push came to shove & they made this card happen would you miss this card over a lousy 30 bucks?

              and as it stands right now people hated the notion of paying $70 for a PPV what makes you think $100 will be anymore acceptable?

              and trust me if it goes to $100 it won't go past 3 million buys you act like people in this economy have an extra 30 to burn, they don't and if those people were up in arms paying 70 for a card with Mayweather Canelo and Morales on it what makes you think 100 is any better

              even as it stands I think 3 million buys is a hard sell

Get some young talents like Broner or Russell Jr on there, guys that need to take on the mantle of star like Bradley, Donaire on there too and a big name Mexican and not only will there be a ton of PPV buys, but the buzz will be huge and really put boxing (outside of May/Pac) back on the map for the casuals who only watch those 2.
                If only arum thought like this boxing would take over and generate more money than all sports

                  i don't buy ppv. i can't justify spending 60 bucks for 3 showcase/predictable fights that would be an undercard/or not even -on regular hbo.. + 1 good fight.

                  if the ppv's they put out now were like 30 bucks, i'd buy them. for the price they charge, you should get your money's worth. there should be at least 2 hbo world championship boxing headliner type fights for that price.

                  nobody i know likes boxing or sports in general so a fight party would be out.

                    Its a hard sell if its mayweather vs canelo or pac vs cotto but if its this card I just dont see too many fans complaining especially when they could split it 2, 3, or even 4 ways.

                      Would any of those fighters settle on being on the undercard for a PPV besides Bradley? He was never really a main even fighter anyways. PPV fighter not even.
