    How ****** is espn for not producing an other ppv

    They put together really good match ups on their first ppv brock/mcline margarito/cintron and others and for only like 20 or 25 dollars it was a good car and worth the money. What I am wondering is why they have not produced another card. does anyone have the number of buys for their first ppv

          no joke They got guys that were not big draws and could not command a lot of money and shane in a comback fight that nobody would want to shell out 50 bucks to see. Honestly the guys at espn are smart and know the good guys that do not command the money and match them up with good solid prospects like they did on that card.

            That was an excellent card.They introduced an up and coming prospect (Raul Martineze).A borderline contender vs. a former world title challenger (Brock vs. McCline).A solid contender vs. a former world champion (Estrada vs. Mosley).Plus Cintron vs. Margarito.Probably the best all around ppv I've ever seen.The Brock-McCline fight was probably the best hw fight of the year and Margarito showed why so many people consider him one of the best by easily beating a dangerous puncher.It was just a good card and I can't wait for them to do it again which I'm sure they will.

              Yeah, and I think ESPN did very well with the PPV, better than they anticipated. Strange they haven't followed up with another...

                ESPN needs to make up it's mind. They seem to support boxing, but they seem to want to treat it like a minor league sport.

                    Quite Frankly gives boxing some support atleast, still no ESPN highlights, but maybe thats because boxing has becoming so broad and fake, they dont even bother with it. I find it hard keeping up with the sport whens their 17 divsion and over 70 champions. Now their even giving 107 pounders spotlight, its getting too deep.
