    I will be watching or free though and on HD too so whatever lol.

    *** you bob arum. Biggest scumbag in boxing.

      Lame. I kinda wanted to see this but there is absolutely zero chance of me paying for it. I also don't know anyone personally that would pay for this so can't just bring some beer over to a buddies either.
      Nobody is going to see this which I would imagine is not a good thing for promoting either fighter going forward lol

        Last PPV I bought was when Hopkins turned Joppy into an elephant man.

        I grew up in the 90s spoiled by Don King’s dreamcards so yea today it’s a little hard to justify the cost lol.

          I feel ya! I was just having fun with you that's all

          I agree. That fight shouldn't be televised no higher than the ESPN + platform because it is not PPV worthy. Also, you are right about those 1990s Don King PPV events. He used to stack at least four championship bouts on one card.

            I mean Wilder vs. Fury was a PPV.

            Just how the industry is nowadays.

                I can understand PPV. That's the nature of the business to cover big purses. What i don't understand is having it on the same night as Garcia-Granados on FOX.

                Boxing moving off premium cable & they're still counter programming each other?!?!?

                  $25 wouldn't be too extravagant. A buck more and I'm passing.

                    Top Rank does NOT have a PPV attraction (As great as "Bud" is...)
