You have to understand what Schaefer's strategy is. I have figured it out. He talks about fights like Broner/Matthysse and Matthysse/Guerrero, but he will continue to give the fans as many mismatches as he can. Then, when he finally does make fights like Broner/Matthysse and Guerrero/Thurman, he will put it on PPV and expect the public to pay $50 to see it. And, from that point on, Schaefer will continue to feed us mismatches on regular Showtime while every quality matchup will be on PPV. If you don't believe that, take a look at the fight coming up this summer -- Alvarez/Lara. There is no way in hell that fight belongs on PPV. However, that is what Schaefer is giving us. I won't be paying for it, nor will I pay to see any other fight that should be on regular Showtime.
I will not pay $50 for one, two or even three fights that should be on regular Showtime, so I will likely stop watching boxing in one to two years because that is the direction it is heading.
