Or perhaps some of us have principles... I wont pay to watch the fight. I won't put a cent into Margarito's pockets. I like Pac, but this fight should not have been made. Margarito needed to be shunned from the boxing world.
PPV = death of boxing. Put the big fights on free to air TV, generate millions from the advertising, and boxing will be big again. Who makes serious money out of PPV anyway? The TV companies, and maybe the top 10 fighters in the world? I think people are wrong to equate paying for PPV as the same thing as being 'loyal' to boxing.
Not only am I watching it, I'm gladly paying for it.......... making a party of it. My first fight-party in almost two years!
whats special about this fight for the mexicans is you either want to see margarito or pacquiaos ass kicked, or even both! either way its a win win situation, high volume punchers, good chins and lots of beer!
Having no tolerance for someone who cheats is hardly going to cause the death of boxing. Tolerating cheaters, on the other hand... atsch:roll:
Don't get me wrong, I hate PPV as much as all real boxing fans. I am a firm supporter of FNFs and FOX boxing. I also physically go to FNFs when it is in town. The issue is boxing surviving for the next 10 years so that the old men running it can move on and younger promoters can get boxing back on regular TV. They are waking up due to UFC. The NFL, MLB, NBA, and UFC are the real parties making money, but the truth is that for our sport to survive we need to support it through the highs and the lows. For the athletes to eat we have to give them a level to aspire too. So unless you get a mailing address for your fighter and mail him a personal check? The only way to support your fighters and Boxing is to buy PPVs. Especially when they are good balanced cards.
