Will you watch Tarver vs Hopkins for $50?

[scap]

true...counterpunchers and technical boxers dont draw crowds

i dunnno if anyone watched cold pizza, but both tarver and hopkins were on it and the host said something like...this is a matchup the boxing world has been waiting for or something like that. i actully laughed out loud

That is precisely the problem with this fight and how it will be sold.

Boxing has not been waiting for this fight-nobody is dieing to see this fight...yet the dip**** media who no nothing about this sport will sell it as THE FIGHT in the sport right now and a bunch of sports fans (not necessarily boxing fans) will get exposed to this fight and after 6 rounds they will say to themselves..."this is why I dont watch boxing, this fight sucks"

This fight is ****, Tarver needs to fight a young fresh body and Nard needs to quit boring us to death...maybe Tarver looked at what happened to Nard and he really has no interest in fighting someone fresh and new ala JErmain Taylor.

Thanks Bernard and Antonio...you'll surely spoil this sport for some poor viewers who end up tuning in because they think they are witnessing the best fight the psort has to offer...

I don't give a **** I am a boxing fan,I like to watch boxing and nobody knows what the undercard will be like yet so **** yes I will watch it,I watch them all.I do have a descrambler that has worked well for the past couple of years but either way I would buy all the fights anyway.

so u've never recieved those $200+ cable bills, eh? get about 4 of those in a row and u'll be singing a new tune.

For 50 bucks i'll watch it..................live.

Nah I did when I first got it but learned how to use it properly.It will stop letting you order after about 5 events or 3 to 4 weeks so you then unhook it and take it back to the cable place and trade them in for new ones and they never find out.........I usually get like 4 boxes at a time and just tell them they are for the other rooms and only use them on one TV but it has worked fine for over 2 years now.

I'll watch it, if for nothing else, to see the crowd boo Tarver after he makes Hopkins his *****. The more hate Tarver gets, the better he gets.

[borikua]

Nah, I'm gonna support my boy and buy the Cotto PPV, I think it's going to be $39, and I heard that the undercard will be great...

[Easy-E]

You guys gotta remember, it was Roy's fault Tarver-Jones III ****** and it was Hopkins' fault his fights with Taylor ******. Tarver will whoop his ass for those performances.

tarver is a counter puncher, all his fights are slow and bnoring

[enadeus]

Roy Jones was the draw in his Tarver fight and Taylor the draw against Hopkins so I don't know what they are trying to pull off here.
