    Are you gonna pay $100 for that boring fight? I can imagine clearly how it's gonna play out. It' gonna be as boring as Pac v.s. Mosley. Believe me!

    $100 is just ridiculous. Neither of these fighters deserve my money when you consider how they have ducked each other for years.

    Yes BUT BUT BUT it's too much for the average fan, too much, instead of selling 4million PPVs you'll sell about 500k

    No way this fight only sells 500k no matter what they charge.

    Its a simple law of economics, there really aren't that many hardcore fans

    Only non boxing/sports fans support PPV.

    No. It would be another slap in the face for the fans. I'd watch it but no buy it.

    PPVs are already $70 + taxes here. Enough is enough.

    ^^^THIS.

    Have you ever heard of a product offer/availability vs demand graph in economics?? This would be a HUGE Mistake for the sports as a whole. Here is the opportunity of the century to reach to the casual fan and they would just be flushing it down the toilet like a stinking turd. IF anything, this fight should be free in a mainstream channel like ABC or NBC!

    For $100 I better see Maidana/Matthysse, Ortiz/Rios, and Khan/Peterson 2 all on the same card.

    well considering a normal PPV is around €20, no I would not. Not on my own anyway.

    I would rather watch it on an illegal stream or go to the pub or get 5 or 6 mates around and we all chip in...

    €100 is a ridiculous ammount of money to charge people to watch an event on TV. Even €50 is stupid, and you're stupid to pay it in my opinion.

    It'll be £15 ($20), which isn't bad seeing as Americans pay between £40-£60.

    No. I wouldnt pay $100 on principal. both are going to make millions from this by charging $25 or whatever and that should be good enough.
