    I dont think that I would be paying for any of them, however I think that Hopkins vs Pavlik and Jones vs Calzaghe has the best shots of shaking up the boxing world....Honestly no one would a) be that shocked or b) care all that much if Abraham or Caldron lost. I think that Casa will blast JMM and not be given credit for it due to the whole Pac factor.

    Roy and Hopkins are seen as shot, and they are. However I think that they can both win those fights. Sad thing is it would set up a rematch 10 years too late. The upset factor of those fights and the shock that they would cause would be the only allure for me to order those two fights, the others really arent PPV worthy.

    You can still remember that.........That was a long time ago. Now whenever some of these promoters put two mid-level guys together they make it a PPV card, it sucks, I have been missing alot of live fights the past 5 or so years.

    I plan on watching all of them, but no need to pay for PPV's when there's internet streaming folks, just search around.

    I know I missed a ton that I just couldn't buy. Now it's like even Sugar Shane is expected to be on PPV's, even though he's never headlined one (as far as I recall).

    I'm on the fence for Casa vs. JMM. Really want to see this, but no ****in way it should be on a PPV.

    I can't wait for anything that has to do with Jones/Calzaghe. 24/7. Countdown. The pre-fight warm up, the ring entrance, everything.

    Pavlik & Hoppy would be one I would consider. Otherwise I wouldn't buy any of the other PPV fights, since I'm such a cheap *******.

    I am very selective in ordering PPV fights, maybe one every three years. The prices are too high. The promoters will continue to show these events at outrageous prices as long as enough people pay for it. If less people bought, then the price would go down and they would present a better card too.
