    Your Aussie yeah?
    I’m Mex so there is the difference in opinions.

    & if you recall it was going to be Tim Tszyu vs Thurman - again not PPV worthy but I was still going to buy as I am a boxing Junkie.

    We're not the wealthiest country in the world for nothing.

    Nah from the UK.

    But for me Zoo v Thurman was a sick joke of a fight. Worse than Canelo v Munguia.

    However Zoo v Fundora was actually a pick em and competitive, therefore better than Canelo v Munguia.

    Well if they can convince you guys to part with your money to watch non competitive boxing then fair enough.

    I honestly think Canelo-Munguia will be more competitive than what we're going to see tommorow.

    It's just really failed to capture the imagination man. It's the fight no one asked for, in place of the fight everyone wanted.

    Munguia won't win a round.

    Tbh Garcia didn't deserve a title shot, I'm not sure who really wanted this fight, because nobody I know was talking about this fight before it got made. It does less PPV buys than Tank-Garcia.

    Nope, neither Gracia nor Munguia deserve this title shot. I'm sure it will do less buys.

    But it's a more competitive fight than Canelo v Munguia.

    Munguia won a mandatory spot by beating Ryder, Garcia beat Duarte.

    He already did his wbo mandatory against Ryder so that one doesn't wash.

    It's an absolute mismatch of a fight and Munguia has no chance.

    Haney has an untested chin and Garcia has power, so this fight atleast has that going for it.

    Garcias mind is fragile, while munguias is battle tested. No way does Munguia get washed like you're insisting.

    DAZN finally listed their price:
    Starts at 4AM for me(Europe). 19.99€ which is about 21.33 Muricans.

    I don´t mind paying for a PPV, and I would be even willing to pay for this one despite the time zone, but 20€? No thank you! I am absolutely certain there are many, many people out there like me who would gladly pay 9 or even 15€ for a PPV. But eh, they don´t seem to care.
