Luckily it wasn't on PPV here in the UK, but if I'd forked out Arum's asking price I would be seriously p*ssed off. It was bad enough just staying awake for that card. Duddy's a nobody, Castillo may as well of not got in the ring, Soto vs Diaz was dull, and the main event was half-sparring session, half watching Pac work the heavy bag. Arum's whole promotion was about the stadium, and how many suckers he could squeeze into it to watch a big TV. Some couldn't even see the screen! I'm very happy for Bob that he managed to make even more precious money thanks to Jerry Jones' ad payment, but what do the boxing fans get out of it? The stadium sold a card that did nothing but promote the stadium. Thanks, Bob for "The Non-Event."
Agreed. Jerry Jones' shameless self-promoting was bizarre. At least the main event looked exciting when you compare it to the undercard.
