          Not really. I wanted to see them live. Barrera-Fana was probably the worst PPV, followed by Williams/Harrison...

              I think all the boxing fans across the world should unite and **** these promotors up the ass by not buying a single PPV this year. 0 sales! LOL That will teach these dumb****s a lesson. Boxing should be free just like any other sport. I guess since, in boxing its a little more brutal, ppv's once in a while are ok, but not 50 bucks! MOre like 20.

                Lets see here, I bought...nope I didn't buy that one. Umm, nope not that one either. Ok I must've purchased the...oh right, I didn't. Hmm...nope.

                Geez, where's that ****ing calculator of mine? ****, I guess I'll have to do this in my head. Ok, let's see...

                $0+$0+$0+$0= *shrugs*

                Well, whatever that total is up there, that's how much I shelled out this year for boxing PPVs. It's also what I'll be spending next year, and if it was possible to spend "less", then I would be doing that for sure.

                It's not that I'm cheap or don't absolutely love the sport. It's just that I started watching boxing in the mid 70's and I was spoiled for a good ten to twelve years, where if you wanted to watch a championship level fight between two excellant fighters, all you had to do was turn on the television on any given afternoon weekend (or the odd fight shown on primetime) and you'd be all set.
