Sometimes we mention how paying such and such fight ended up being a waste of your money, but this last weekend's PPV was worth every cent I paid for it. So this brings up the question, What has been the best PPV boxing event you have paid for? Worst?
Best PPV fights (last five or so years): -DLH vs Vargas -Cotto vs Margarito -Trinidad vs Vargas Worst PPV fights (last five or so years): -#1 Mayweather vs Baldimor (worst ever) -Jones vs Tarver III -Hopkins vs Wright -Mayweather vs DLH -Lewis vs Holyfield I -#1
The Best was Trinidad-DLH. I paid $50 to watch it at the Hard Rock at the "Joint" and I didnt have a seat, didnt matter, I was too nervous to sit. It was wonderful, and as soon as Buffer read the decision, I ran out into the Casino and announced that Oscar was no longer undefeated, and commenced on ****ing with all Oscar fans. Especially at the Bay. What a perfect night. The worst was Hopkins-Wright. I am still waiting for my refund from GBP for that pile of ****.
Margarito-Cotto Vargas-DLH Tyson-Holyfield Mosley-DLH 1 Bowe-Golota 2 All in all those would be my top 5 I think.
BEST HAD TO BE TYSON HOLYFIELD BECAUSE OF THE HYPE..I THINK I PAID 50 OR 55...THIS PAST WEEKENDS FIGHT WAS GOOD TOO...MOSLEY DE LA HOYA 1 AND 2 WERE GOOD AS WELL... MOSLEY VARGAS 1 AND 2 ANYONE??
Mosley-Vargas 1 was cool, I saw it in a Mexican Bar/Nightclub, and everyone was amazed at Vargas' head. "El Monstoro"
Ive been able to watch many PPVs on illegal cable or streaming them. The ones ive ordered personally are Hopkins vs Taylor 1 - I didnt think it was a bad fight when I orginally watched it plus it had a bit of drama and intrigue near the end so it was ok plus I split the bill with a freind so I wasnt out much. Barrera-Peden,Mosley-Cruz: Although 2 of my favorite fighters won their fights they where both rather boring and of course Jesus Chavez destroyed Levander Johnson and of course Johnson died 5 days later. I felt ripped off especially since HBO said the Mosley fight since its a undercard fight would not be replayed the next week but it was. Jones vs Tarver III - Im a huge Jones fan and of course I was disapointed since he didnt fight hard,lost and it was boring. Mosley vs Vargas 1 - Good fight between to of my favorite boxers and my favorite Shane won a big fight so yeah I was pleased and I only spent 15 on this and won 20 from my girlfreind who picked Vargas. DLH vs Mayorga - Agian a PPV split 3 ways and I enjoyed we where all DLH fans and soon as he landed the right hand - left hook in the 1st we where pumped up the rest of the fight. It was cool to see Oscar whipping that ass. Mosley vs Vargas II - Vargas seemed completly shot this time and the fight wasnt competitive but watching Mosley win by brutal KO the 1st time in years was well worth the 25 dollar cost since agian we split. Mayweather vs DLH - It wasnt a bad fight but I got stuck ordering it alone and ill be real it wasnt worth the 60 dollar price tag. Jones vs Hanshaw - It was only 30 bucks and it was cool to see my boy RJJ get a decent win and score a KD so it was worth it. Pacquiao vs Barrera II - Barreras a favorite of mine and I was so sure he would win infact id never been so pumped for one fight in my life I called off work so I had no chance of missing any part of it. Barrera failed to put up a real fight and I was pissed. Mosley vs Cotto - It was a fantastic fight but watching Mosley on the losing end of that close decision was heartbreaking but I cant call it a wast of money. Mayweather vs Hatton - Crappy undercard and crappy overpriced main event I convinced myself I could see a Duran-Leonard 1 type fight and all I got was a clinch fest until Mayweather decided to actually turn it up. 60 bucks ill never get back. Jones vs Trinidad - 50 bucks to see 2 legends fight in a solid fight and my guy winning and looking impressive im alright with that. Pavlik vs Taylor II - I was somewhat disapointed it didnt go like the 1st fight but it was still a fine fine fight and I got my moneys worth. Marquez vs Pacquiao II - Classic bout what else can I say ? I didnt like the decision but a great fight is a great fight.
mosley delahoya 2 for me ...it was the first ppv i seen boxing wise .. i remember my uncle was getting it and had a house full of people .. i went over there i was like 17 .. he told me there was some liqure in the kitchen.. was a good night... drank some drinks and hung out with some dudes i hadn't seen in awhile ..
alrightt, I've got the worst one ever. Coming off mayorga two wins over Forrest he fought corey spinks in one of the most boring fights ever. Not to mention that the undercard was ruiz-Rahman! Wow I can't believe I paid for this. Hopkins won about every second of every round against joppy. Joppy looked like a different person after the fight.
Did anybody else like that ESPN PPV a few years back? The main event was margo vs cintron. I liked that one. 30 dollars and 4 fights that I wanted to see. I wanted to watch Diaz vs Elder, but someone got injured in camp. Can't remember who.
