    I have purchased Floyds last three fights hoping that a vintage Floyd would show up and give an entertaining fight yet he always disappoints me. I have chosen not to purchase this one since I gave up on Floyd and Hatton is really not my style of fighting. And then the undercard is not that good so im definately not purchasing it. Its supposed to be a big fight and everything but i just dont think it will be worth it.

    Yep. Why bother? We all know what the outcome will be. And who wants to see that imbecile give a boxing lesson to a fighter like Hatton? Not me.

    It is expensive, and any time sinclair fights it might be a snoozefest, so I can see the argument.

    The best thing is just to split the price a few ways.

    Due to economic strain, the wish to boycott the ridiculous price point, the worthlessness of the matchup, and the fact that neither guy really gets my blood pumping, I was leaning toward not getting it; the fact that my girlfriend was all excited about catching the last couple of 24/7s tilted the scales in favor of ordering it. When I explained this to her, and detailed the underwhelming undercard, she said "Screw it, I can wait for the replay next week if it's any good". Good girl. :good Besides, best to spare her the inevitable pain of seeing the oh-so-predictable outcome and dashing her hopes. :yep

    I might look into a sopcast link if I'm awake and in the mood.

    IMO, De la Hoya-Mayweather was a decent fight.

    Mayweather-Baldomir was boring.

    Mayweather-Judah was a good performance by PBF.

    Yes, it is not worth to pay for it....if you can watch it for free...like me :D

    Seriously, I have never paid for a fight. I would paid if the main event and the whole card is good and the price is reasonable.

    im not getting it for fear of feeling like a fool if mayweather makes this a boring fight and im out 60 bucks. i know its only 60 but i would still feel mad as **** if it comes down to holding and running for 12 rds.

    It's a big-time fight, that's why I'm buying it.

    You never know when two big fighters are going to go at it, and when they do, you never know what is going to happen and if it will ever happen again. As a boxing fan, you owe it to yourself to watch because marquee matchups aren't exactly common in this sport. This is history in the making, and I would kick myself if I missed it because I predicted it wouldn't be entertaining.

    Just seeing Hatton getting his ass beat is worth the price!
