Yeah, if this was on regular FSN, fine, and I'd give them kudos for an entertaining night of boxing. But asking for 50 bucks for this is ludicrous. Whoever had the idea to make it PPV is a moron in the first place, even if it was just 20 bucks. This is less than a week after PBF-Baldomir and just a week before Pac-Morales III. Between those two fights, roughly 800k people will be spending at least 50 bucks and probably about 200k will buy both and be out 100 bucks, right before the Christmas shopping season. How many people are going to pick this crap over either of the HBO PPVs? Nobody with a sane mind.
IDIOTIC programming. HBO even wanted to move a December 2 PPV because it was too close to the Nov.4 and Nov. 18 shows. This is right smack in between, and FSN will take a bath on this. Holyfield may sell tickets, but no way he still sells $50 PPVs fighting Oquendo with two noncompetitive showcase fights on the undercard.
