    Yeah. I buy more out of the unknown happening. Like the underdog performing better than expected or even getting the major upset.

    I know what you mean, but that weak **** while also having the judges, ref, commentators & even the between round highlight clips favoring the one fighter, you know what to expect sadly.

    People on here trying to defend Tank is hilarious. It got 61K more PPV's than it should have.

    Check the live gate son so you find out how many millions of Dollars USD were generated. Tank puts bums on seats.

    But but but but but Tank is a PPV star :risas3::risas3::risas3::risas3::risas3:

    Tank is - like Bradley said - a piece of **** and nobody outside his fanbase is interested in him and his BS fights. No disrespect to Garcia who is good but Tank should fight KingCryan Garcia, Haney, Shakur, Taylor, Prograis or Loma and not Garcia or Rolly Bumero.

    Let's see if Tank will bring in some Bantamweights next ....

    ****ing clown!

    No need to get so defensive. Tank is a star. But the fight being on PPV was a joke and it tanked (pardon the pun), and rightfully so

    Say this louder, please! I also think promoters should accept the fact that every fighter doesn't have to be the headliner. That is, they should stack the card like Don King used to do in the 90s. Look at these examples.

    Julio Cesar Chavez W Frankie Randall TD 8 12
    Azumah Nelson L Jesse James Leija UD 12 12
    Gerald McClellan W Julian Jackson KO 1 12
    Ricardo Lopez W Kermin Guardia UD 12 12
    Simon Brown L Terry Norris UD 12 12
    Giovanni Parisi W Richie Hess KO 2 10
    Meldrick Taylor W Chad Broussard

    Julio Cesar Chavez W Tony Lopez TKO 10 12
    Felix Trinidad W Oba Carr TKO 8 12
    Ricardo Lopez W Yamil Caraballo TKO 1 12
    Jorge Fernando Castro W John David Jackson TKO 9 12
    Frankie Randall W Rodney Moore

    Meldrick Taylor L Julio Cesar Chavez TKO 8 12
    Frankie Randall W Juan Martin Coggi UD 12 12
    Felix Trinidad W Luis Ramon Campas TKO 4 12
    Ricardo Lopez W Surachai Saengmorakot TKO 1 12
    Vincent Pettway W Gianfranco Rosi KO 4 12
    Gabriel Ruelas W Jesse James Leija

    Julio Cesar Chavez W John Duplessis TKO 4 12
    Mike Tyson W Donovan Ruddock TKO 7 12
    Simon Brown W Maurice Blocker TKO 10 12
    Pat Lawlor W Roberto Duran TKO 6 10
    Greg Page W Mark Young TKO 3 10
    Bernard Hopkins W Steve Langley

    Hold the line boys. Stop enabling these idiots in boxing. I didn’t even bother to give them a YT hit for the highlights.

    Tank is a live gate draw no doubt about that and can be a ppv draw with a worthy opponent. But guys like rolly and Garcia won't get him ppv buys. These types of fights need to be on free TV or cable period.

    For the record I like tank I’m just fed up with the sport as a whole. All you ever hear is tune up tune up. Isn’t that what sparring is for? To hone your skills. I’m not paying for that.

    These numbers are really bad. In addition they probably lost money on the event. There's numerous undercard Fighters that they had and they pay tank quite a lot of money.

    Tyson v Ruddock was the main event on that card not the Chavez fight.
