    I have seen some crappy ppv cards but this maybe the crappiest...

    Pavlik vs Rubio
    Cotto vs Jennings

    $54.99

    WTF those fights would be great on a PPV if there was a main event, not to mention that its going to be one of those split location things...

    This is crap, whats next???

    These guys are spoiled now. They are just not willing to fight for small purses. Since HBO won't them to fight sparring sessions anymore. We end up with shitty PPV cards like this one. Best way to make sure this kind of crap stops is to not buy the PPV.

    These guys are millionaires and they think they are entitle to big payday when ever they fight. Maybe it's time they get a reality check.

    Yeah it would be a great card on HBO but not on ppv...Im not paying to watch two sparring sessions...Jennings is so bad that Cotto didnt even want to fight him, he was told its Jennings or no one until his fight with Margo later in the year.

    I agree completely. I don't know why everyone thinks they are all of a sudden entitled to making a gazillion ****in dollars every time they step foot in the ring. Not every fight has to be a "superfight." Fight the next man in line and let the chips fall where they may. All this career roadmapping is hurting the appeal of the sport.

    But on another note, I don;t think that Jennings fight will be all that bad. Cotto might **** around and have a tough one on his hands.

    Im sorry 54.99 is complete waste of money on those fights. Save your money and put gas in your car or buy anything thats worth the money. It's going on be on youtube anyways because theres always a ******* who post up the fight on there.
