    In your eyes who is PPV worthy??

    I keep reading all these people complain about PPVs and how it should be on regular HBO or they want their money back blah blah blah.
    I want to know who you think is PPV worthy and why?
    we all have to start somewhere right?
    If im not mistaken Oscar, Floyds and Manny's first few PPV's werent that great and did really low numbers but like I stated earlier "we all have to start somewhere".

    IMO
    Pac
    Floyd
    COtto
    are PPV worthy
    I would pay for a PPV against a decent name for
    Ortiz
    Canelo
    Martinez
    Ward
    Froch
    Donaire

    What about ya'll??

    I've been brainwashed into thinking only Mayweather and Pacquiao are PPV worthy

    I also buy Marquez. That's about it. And I have dropped pac.

      only 2 Guys are PPV Worthy: Mayweather and Pacquiao...3rd is probably Cotto but he wouldn't do well unless he is fighting Mayweather or Pacquiao

      after that, in the US? NONE!

            Froch and Canelo always deliver entertaining bouts, ditto Michael Katsidis and Amir Khan.

            It's not just about entertainment for PPV however, the fighters in question have to be amongst the best, i.e. Froch, Canelo and Khan can claim that whereas Katsidis cannot.

              Cotto has proven he can do well without Mayweather and Pacquiao. Go back to last year and you will see he did 250K against Mayorga and 600K against Margarito. Ever since he made his HBO PPV headline debut against Judah he has never done less than 200K against anyone.

              vs Zab Judah, 225K
              vs Mosley, 360K
              vs Margarito I, 450K
              vs Jennings, 200K
              vs Pacquiao, 1.25 million
              vs Mayorga, 250K
              vs Margarito II, 600K
              vs Mayweather, 1.5 million

              You can also add his fight with Malignaggi that did 125k. The man can draw but back to the ts the only guys I would pay to watch are Mayweather, Pacquiao and Cotto.

                I said he was the 3rd Biggest Draw in boxing but the numbers are not as big without fighting Mayweather or Pacquiao, that is just a FACT, that wasn't taking anything away from Cotto...maybe I shouldn't have said "HE WOULDN'T DO AS WELL" I worded that incorrectly!
