    Nope. I think I will go see Dr. Strange instead.

    Pac's stock has dropped hard. Didn't HBO carry some Wlad fights for free while it was PPV in Germany? As much as I don't want to pay for it, I still want to see the fight on normal HBO or SHO.

    Did Bob hard ball HBO or something? Pac is not the draw he once was. Boxing PPV as a whole is down. We need to get back to where we once were where only MEGA fights were on PPV not silly fights like Pac vs Vargs or FMJ vs Berto.

    I didn't know it was happening this weekend until today. So I guess the answer would be no. I'll still be watching it though.

    He doesn't have a dance partner. Ppv is dying because fighters aren't promoted like guys like Tyson, Roy, and Floyd was. Those guys had cameos in television shows, movies, made several guest appearances for a number of events, and were on covers of popular magazines. Remember Floyd was in music videos, and made an appearance on WWE. new ppv stars can be born today but we jus have to get them noticed by non-boxing fans

    Think it's because they'd already used all of their PPV slots for the year, but I don't think any of the networks will be in the business of topping up Pac or Mayweather for fights that could be their last. Carrying a break-even strategy for most of the Pac and Mayweather events, historically, has been a smart play by the networks - because they know that a big fight that makes masses of cash comes along every so often. That's not on the horizon for those guys now.
