    Stop complaining, just hope it's a good entertaining fight.

    Lap dance cost more than $20/2 mins.

    Great vid, and I see people still aren't getting it. Of course it's not too high if you're a hardcore fan who really wants to see the fight, but casuals won't be paying. And if they do pay, that's probably even worse because now that door is open, get ready for ppv's to be no less than $80 hereafter.

    Good vid dude. I just hate PPV, it limits the audience for fights to a select view who are willing to pay. I would like to see good boxing fights back on free tv in the US. Imagine how many viewers a fight of that magnitude would get that way.

    Glad we don't have this here:yep

    Oh, and there's something I wanted to ask, have you ever been accused by people of reminding them of Jack Nicholson??

    Its a super fight but its still meant to be a working mans sport at the end of the day. Have the glitz and the glamour at the event, star names in the front rows and all the sparkle that comes with a massive night.

    Robbing the fans at home though is not necessary, they are guna make a fooking fortune regardless, at least respect boxing fans with a respectable price. Clearly it will be a night to not be missed so they are bleeding it big time.

    Im presuming this will be a box office event in the UK too and im willing to pay what ever but a nights PPV has never cost me more than £17, around $32-$33 maybe? Wouldnt be happy paying any more than that for this fight too.

    But i would.

    I am somewhat aware the Daily Mail's sub-par reputation. That said, I'm guessing they are probably close to the mark on this one.

    It truly is ridiculous, and the trend has been a bad one for as far back as I can remember.

    Fortunately, the fight is the same day as the Derby, and I usually attend a big party at a friend's house every year for that, and oftentimes the drunks that make it there late enough, wind up watching the fight there. I remember a slew of inebriated broken downs watching the Floyd-Cotto card, which I think had Mosley-Canelo on the under card.

    But the "carpool" mentality is the only way to go.

    Yep! It's as if they view the fans who make all of this possible as nothing more than dupes to be exploited.

    I want the Floyd-Pac fight to help give boxing a much needed boost, but not if they're just going to disregard those making all this possible.
