    I feel like someone mentions stuff like this whenever it's PPV fight week like there was some epic hardcore boxing fan PPV era where there was just event after event with full cards full of awesomeness. There wasn't.

    Complaining about a meh PPV undercard is like complaining that the visit to the DMV took too long. Of course it did it's the exception when it doesn't take forever.
    I'm going to keep praising events that give us decent cards. And I'm going to keep laying into events that give us shitty cards.

    If I'm the only voice in the wilderness then so be it.

    But I'm sure I'm not, seeing as how people often praise the UFC PPVs for being stacked more often than not.

      You clearly don't listen to the MMA hardcore fans who sh^t on FULL PPV events even the main event on a regular basis. And go look at some of the UFC or Bellator PPV's. They making mfers pay for Josesito Lopez vs John Molina UFC type fights.

        Navarrete is a beast but he's in a showcase bout. The rest of the card is garbage, not feeling it at all.

        Might not purchase this weekend. And I'm usually big on supporting the sport.
        Someday you can tell your grandchildren you got to see Fury the great fight live (on tv).

        It's like witnessing Achilles, Hercules, or Jack Johnson. Of course you pay for this opportunity.

          It will be fun when Wilder knocks Fury out.

          But I'm not paying for this. Hopefully the homies throw a last minute fight party.

            There was a time when cards were amazing. Don King cards used to regularly have 3 or 4 world title fights.

                This is usually the case when the main event fighters are getting $25M a piece. There's not enough money to to pay the undercard guys. Same thing happened with May-Pac. That undercard was all show case bouts. May-Mac as well.

                  Don't go into hiding should Fury lose. I expect you to give full credit and respect to Deontay Wilder after his victory.

                    I'll watch Martin vs Washington, that'll probably be it of the undercard. Can't wait for Fury vs Wilder though. PPV is only £25 in UK.

                      Hell yeah. Look at this lineup:





                      Now THAT is what I call a PPV.

                      These days there are dudes on here acting excited about Charles Martin vs Gerald Washington.
