    Why is everthing PPV?

    I am ****ing sick of this PPV bull****.

    Rahman Maskaev PPV? This must be a joke...

    Just about any fight these days is PPV.

    This does nothing for the sport of boxing. Nothing...


    And why are people still buying these PPVs?

    If you keep buying they'll keep charging.

    We all need to stop paying for these bull**** fights.

    Yeah I feel you. I would think they would want more people to become fans of the sport. Only mega fights should be PPV. Unification of the HW should PPV, Floyd vs Oscar = PPV, Pacman vs Morales PPV, not fights like Quartey vs Forrest, Mosley vs. Vargas, Spinks vs Karmazin, a lot of thes fights aint no better than Friday Night Fights.

          The fighters and promoters play just as big a role in this as HBO or Showtime does. They all help convince casual fans to buy a fight that is not PPV worthy. The fighters also help this because alot of them believe that they are worth more than they really are. If a fighter wants more than 3 million for a fight they will have to make it PPV.

                it IS a joke. i would never pay to see rahman in a PPV match (except for the vitali fight, which never happend) and i would never see maskaev in a PPV match... ever. and i sure as all hell would NEVER buy a PPV with BOTH of them in the main event.

                  I will not be paying for this fight. This should be on boxing after dark not PPV.
