    :patsch Damn, I saw that price and started laughing!

    Who the hell is going to pay $50 to watch these guys? There better be one hell of an under card!

    I'd probably buy it for $25, but not $50.

    50 is too much. They are not elite anymore.

    My first reaction is, "I'm not paying $50 for that!" But then when I consider paying a $10 cover and another $20 or so on drinks at the local watering hole, the extra $20 to watch in the comfort of my own home isn't bad.

    I'd rather get banned from ESB for asking for free links than pay $50 for that hogwash.

    *not that I'm actually asking, don't get too jumpy with that ban now :!:

    I wouldn't pay $50 for guys that need crutches in order to walk. A couple of Old Men Rivers....

    Anybody who pays any monetary amount for this garbage should be taken out back.

    This is exactly what's wrong with boxing. People have to smarten up and give the message to promoters this won't be tolerated.

    I doubt we even get the option to buy this fight in the UK, Haye vs Ruiz is on the same night and is also PPV here.

    Either it will be free or it won't be shown.

    :rofl

    They can both go **** themselves. The match up itself is an insult alone. To charge 50 bucks is smearing **** in my face. :hi: I'll take a rain check.

    I'll check it out, why not?, still would be interesting to see how they handle each other at this age/time. This will also be a very good proof for the 4 Calzaghe fans all over the world and on this website who claim Jones was just a tiny step below prime when he fought the almighty Welsh dragon who's record has 0 names worth bragging about.

    Before Jones' shocking defeat to Green almost everyone was demanding it.
