    hahaha, nah i disagree that it matters one way or another if i buy or not. i see your view that if nobody buys they quit putting it on ppv but why does this necessarily help? the theory is theyll put it on just hbo instead of ppv right but i dont see that thisll happen. they might just decide to quit making big fights anywhere near as often.

    and i dont think its crazy for this fight to be on ppv. a lot of fights i can understand like they put briggs v botha on ppv well i didnt get that card. and i didnt get a lot of ****** ppvs where like pastrana was the main event.

    i dont like ppv and nobody does but im not going to miss a fight cause of it you know. unless its a fight i dont care about of course.

    we need someone like mark cuban or some billionaire to start up a pga or something of boxing. this would solve everything i just know it.

      F*@# DLH Golden Boy!

      He is my favorite top 5 fighter, but I hate his PPV promotional bull****!

      Every Barrera fight is a PPV now, Mosley too!
      F this sh|t!

      I was gonna single protest this, but seeing this great movement makes me feel that I'm not alone!

      Thanks for posting it Joe!

      I'll wait to see the replay.

        All I can say is.

        Where I come from, It's a big thing when Nando fights. Especially if he has a shot at beating a marquee name like Shane.

                I do agree with you and if you look at HBO's sched, out of HBO's next 7 fights including Nando-Shane, only 2 are ppv. PBF-Judah, and Nando-Shane so it seems like HBO's starting to get the point.

                  you think that by some members boycotting this fight it will send a message? they will always put fights on ppv wether they are worth it or not. boxers are to spoiled to fight on normal hbo or espn. the only way they feal like they are true people champions is by ppv sales. you cant just say im not going to watch and think people are going to care you have to get a message out there saying that you are mad at ppv prices, if you dont buy this one and buy the next one people are going to say ok maybe its just this fighter that is not ppv quality and just keep trying diffrent fighters out.
