    Simple question. Will you buy it? Mayweather clearly thinks that he can put up big numbers even if he i shadow boxing. I can't remember the last time I was this disinterested in a big fight. The only way that we can get the fights that we want as fans is by sending a message that we wil not pay for garbage. Sadly I am guessing that a bunch of morons will get sucked in by 24/7 and buy this crap giving Floyd the easy out.

    No way I will buy it. I have no interest in paying that kind of money to watch a sparring match. I also didn't buy Mayeweather vs Marquez. I was guily on Mayweather vs Mosley but mostly because I thought it would be a decent fight. I can't fathom why anyone thinks this will be any good.

    That fight's got one of the best undercard in years. I'm buying it.

    Unfortunately it's not free here in the UK, it's on PPV...I will still buy it though. Very, very good card.

    $70 for HD on Directv and AT&T Uverse. That's unheard of. I will be out of town so I don't have to make the decision. I love the card but the price tag is absurd.

    You can't hate Floyd that much. Good undercard, yet you won't order the fight? You'll watch it, but won't order it. Yeah. At least you'll watch it.

    Yes. The undercard is one of the strongest I've seen for a while.

    I don't hate floyd at all to tell you the truth. I haven't posted much in the general forum lately but when I did I was one of his few supporters. Here's the way I see it.

    Floyd and Manny have no need to fight each other. them fighting would do huge PPV numbers but both guys command a high purse so the split means that they will make no more money fighting each other than they will fighting tomator cans and keeping the lions share of the purse on their own.

    As fans if we want the fight we have to make them want it. Undercards don't sell fights. A good undercard is supposed to be the icing on the cake. This card is all icing and no cake. You are right, I will probably watch it. Only if I can find a bar that is showing it for free.

    I will not put a dime in PBF's pocket. I hope Ortiz blasts him outta there & I'll be happy to watch it a week later on regular HBO.

    Thank You.:!:
