    The problem is that HBO didn't want the fights. .But he could've tried other networks.. This won't even make 100,000

    These guys are both coming off losses. Cotto needs a tune-up, obviously. Pavlik has to fight Rubio since he's the WBC mandatory. If HBO and Showtime won't buy these fights, they should have put them on seperate cards on Verses! Adamek/Cunningham in December; Cotto/Jennings in January; Pavlik/Rubio in February. That would make a hell of a nice line up on Verses. I think that in the end, when it comes time for big fights, they'd end up selling more PPV buys buy giving big name fighters more exposure.

    The only people to blame for this being on PPV is Pavlik Cotto, and Top Rank. HBO knows what these fights are, and would probably air them if they got them for dirt cheap. ESPN and Versus would also probably show them, but the fights aren't worth what the fighters want to get paid. Since they can't get enough money to pay Pavlik and Cotto from a non PPV channel they put it on PPV. These should be on Versus or ESPN.

    Only those who are hard core fans of one fighter or the other will buy this. Pavlik is my current favorite, and Cotto is #3. I split the cost of fights with my sister and my brother, and my Sis always cooks up a big dinner. It's a family event, and splitting the cost 3 ways makes it cheap, so I'll buy it.

    However, putting these fights on Verses or ESPN would attract a much broader audience. Considering that we are going to see Pavlik and Cotto look very good sparking their opponents, both fighters would end up with a bunch of new fans. That means more buys for the next big fight. Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if boxing actually made sense?
