    There's no way I'm paying for that. I'm still shocked on how this is PPV worthy.
    I just hope the undercards are decent and that Katsidis wins and Maidana ends Morales' career for good (no disrespect to my man Morales but he seriously needs to consider hanging those gloves).

    Anything over $29.95 is way too much. Should be on HBO, Showtime, EPIX, ESPN, VS., what ever..................I think Maidana by knockout............

    Still thinking about it.. It's as much **** as Mosely PAC, paying to see the possible slaughter of another boxer. With a decent undercard.

    Not sure..

    I'm guessing it will be a regular priced PPV. This is Golden Boy, who recently priced Mosley-Mora at $45. No way I'm paying for it, that would make me a hypocrite for criticising them for making these mismatches and trying to dupe the public into buying it. I will be rooting for Morales though, hope he doesn't get badly hurt

    I dont need to see a great but shot fighter get knocked out and the undercard probably sucks, same reason im not gonna pay to see Pac vs Mosley.

    I usually end up buying most fights, but I won't be buying this one. Not a Morales fan at all, nor a Maidana fan. I would watch if it was on regular HBO, but I am not willing to pay for it. Who's the genius that decided to put this on PPV anyways?

    Crazy thing not to buy it if it's the only way to watch.

    The main event will be explosive while it lasts though I understand people's frustration of likely watching Morales get stopped, but he's not going down without a fight, plus it will be more competitive than most'd think. It is the undercard that shines however. Katsidis-Guerrero is a great LW clash, Kirkland is in a tough one vs. Ishida and inexperienced Danny Garcia takes on ol'fox Nate Campbell who could be too much too early. Oh yeah, and Paulie fights Cotto.

    Lot of action for your buck, it is not a one-****-fight-only PPV.

    I'm undecided on this card, there seems to be no bad fights but no stand out fights either.

    Morales-Maidana- This is clearly going to be one-sided and not in the Cotto-Mayorga way where it is atleast semi-competitive and entertaining. Morales might put up a good fight and make it fun for 2-3 rounds tops but most of this fight will be Maidana pummeling a legend.

    Guerrero-Katsidis- This is a nice match up as far as talent goes, both guys are near the top of the division. The problem is that I don't think its going to be great in the ring. Guerrero is rarely exciting and will probably be content to box and avoid engaging Katsidis. I see this fight playing out in a similar fahsion to Bradley-Alexander. Good talent that doesn't translate to a good fight.

    Malignaggi-Cotto- Similar to Guerrero-Katsidis, nice match up talent wise but probably nothing spetacular in the ring.

    Kirkland-Ishida- Haven't seen much of Ishida but Kirkland rarely disappoints. This fight might be decent but I don't know how much of a fight Ishida will be able to put up.

    There is some talent on this card and a couple of the matches are even type of fights, I just don't think any of the fights will be overly entertaining. You can make a good case for or against this card.

    The Mexican fanbase aand diehards with money to burn will buy it, but the rest of us are going with PPV only for Pac vs Mosely and Margarito vs Cotto if it happens, Haye vs KLit is PPV worthy will it be available? these feel like the only PPV worthy fights out there.
