    Yohnny Perez v Joseph Agbeko
    Vic Darchinyan v Abner Mares

    There still is some good fights to look forward too this weekend and these are two. Not on Sky I know but that's what net is for

    Yeah looking forward to it, might be a Sunday morning job for me. Don't want to be flicking back and forth from fights but yes this tournament has my attention and i do love watching Vic fight.

    Very much so. Perez-Agbeko was one of the FOTY last year, so hopefully they repeat what they did then this time around and Mares-Darch is a great match-up - another potential FOTY.

    These are the two best fights of the weekend IMO. Especially in terms of action we've got brillient fights on the card here, which are not getting the play they deserve. Mares vs. Darchinyan in particular is very intriguing...i'll probabily watch that ahead of Khan/Maidana.

    I expect wee Vic to get done in. I think he's been on the slide since he hammered Arce and too small at this weight.

    If you haven't seen Mares-Perez or Perez-Agbeko, then you should try to :good

    God ya, can't wait for it. It's a shame that they couldn't get the full tournament going. Is it just this weekend, and then it's a final between the winners?

    Well there PPV's i think are like $49 at times. Then you got the other fights around the country which sometimes are on small PPV and you got fights online that are PPV. It must mount up if your a hardcore fan who pays legitimately.

    That's why i never moan about paying £15 for PPV's once or twice in a couple months. Only time i moaned was Prescott-Khan because it wasn't a world title and Khan didn't earn PPV status for me and i thought this will be poxy....how wrong was i :lol:.

    Its 50 bucks per PPV but Pacquiao ones have went up to 55 and
    HBO and Showtime costs about $12-15 each per month.

    Mandana is spot on about how your 15 quid is a good deal in the UK. You can do a lot with 55 Bucks compared to what 15 pounds get you in the UK.
