    300-500k? Most casual boxing fans have never even heard of Berto.:patsch

    I don't imagine it will do much worse than whatever the average was for the Guerrero and Ortiz fights. But I sincerely hope all 3 upcoming PPV cards tank and tank miserably.

    That sounds about right. Most casuals fans have never heard of Amir Khan, Kell Brook or Keith Thurman either. May was only going to sell with GGG or maybe a Cotto or Pac rematch for this last fight.

    Why, exactly? Do you think PPV for fights is like really bad or something?

    I think it sucks out loud that boxing fans have to shell out so much money just to get a chance to see live televised fights. It's the kind of thing that I still hope will be phased out through necessity.

    If you're a boxing fan, and you wanted to watch all of the high profile cards, you're looking at something like $300 just to watch 4 boxing cards in high def.

    I'd love to see the supply oust the demand to bring some kind of change.

    Guerrero was 800-900K if not mistaken.

    I think he should have had this one on PBC on CBS though. As a thnk you to fans for spending that much for the Pac fight.

    Floyd's looking soft and talks like he has a 3 pack a day habit. He sounds too confident. I think Berto's going to knock his as-s out.
