    65 for regular

    75 for HD

    Bull****, and let's be honest 75 is what people are paying, ,,,Every1 watches in HD

    Ridiculous, if they throw Garcia/Mattyhsse on undercard then its worth it.

    Thought?

    I'd pay $80 for it if Luscious Lucas vs El Pollo Garcia is undercard.

    Definitely going to be worth it!!!

    69.99 has pretty much been the standard for HD PPV for a couple of years now, so...


    :blood You have a skewed idea of the economic state of the world if you think a majority of boxing fans (let alone every one) even possesses an HD capable set and subscribes to a Hi-Def cable package.


    I believe they have.

    gotta disagree on the T.V. deal was a cable installer for a while dirt poor people still have HD T.V.'s.

    I'll pay about $18.50 to see it in a movie theater, if it's playing in theaters again.

    Would love to see a fight on a big screen!

    I miss the days of closed circuit.

    Today you order and watch it maybe with a few friends and have a fight party (and half of them barely care) or maybe even alone.

    In the closed circuit days, for me it meant loading up a car and driving an hour to the nearest 'big city' and watching it with a few thousand (sometimes several thousand) people and it was more like going to a live show -- you mix and mingle with fellow fight fans, argue over who is going to win, etc.

    One of my memories of that was the first night I moved to Nashville, Tennessee, for my first job out of college -- it was Leonard vs. Hagler on closed circuit at the downtown arena. I knew no one, had to ask to even find out how to get there. But I went and it was packed, sat in an area where there were fans cheering for both sides and had a ball. Struck up some instant friendships with locals who cared as much about boxing as I did.

    You just don't get that experience today.

    What he meant by that IB is that almost everyone now after 2007 almost have a cellphone or HDTV since HDTV nowadays are dirty cheap in the $250-300 range when back in 2007, the same HDTV's are like $700-900 bucks.

    Damn even 6-10 year old kids have their own damn mini laptops and tablets lol


    So even Trailer Trash hillbillys have the basic 32 inch HDTV and I wouldn't be surprise if they all have Ipads too lol
