    Cotto-Margarito II. Ordered it without parents permission and watched it by myself. (Technically I didn't buy it just ordered)

    In Ohio ( im Sure other states to) The Black Box was a Cable Box that was Illegal. It gave you all HBO's, PPV Channels, etc... for Free. My Dad Paid like 400$ off a MOB dude and cancelled The Local cable Provider. We had it for Years until a cable dude checked the lines and Found a reading of cable going to our house. He told us he knew, but wasn't turning us in! So my dad ended up ordering cable agaiN!

    I loved the Black Box days. Movie channels, Playboy and Spice channels...

    First one my Dad bought when I was a young kid was Gerry Cooney vs Larry Holmes. I think it was about $10.
