    Blame it to the real boxing fans. Most won't pay to watch a real boxing bout. They'd rather see it free from the pub, restaurants or anywhere for free. Its the casual fans that are paying so, if it's waht they want... then give it to them...

    Why the hell would we want to pay for half of the **** that gets served up as a PPV? ****, the sport needs more free fights... not more people buying the **** PPVs to encourage even more being made.

    It's bull**** how everybody forgets that Hoya is actually a genuinely great fighter. He beats Pacquiao because he's better, even if they were the same size.

    Wow. It might well be the biggest $$$$ Fight in History. But as far as meaningfullness? The Rumble in the Jungle, the Thrilla in Manilla, the Brawl in Montreal, "WAR" (Hearns-Hagler) "The Fight of the Century" (A personal Favorite) are the Biggest Fights in history. This "Dream Fight" is big in the Phillipines, and the West Coast, no one outside of those areas gives two ****s about de la Hoya, and you can quote me on that. :deal :hi:

    Notice how the Fishnets dont like to fight in MSG? There is a reason for that. In New Jersey and NYC, Gatti is God. Oscar is a typical drag queen.

    No it's probably because he knows he has a huge following and has good relationships with Las Vegas. Gatti couldn't sell out the Garden, it he has then I apologize but I don't remember Gatti ever even fighting there. He fought in AC.

    Gatti would do well on the East Coast. He is an East Coast fighter. Oscar is a no name outside of Vegas and East LA.

    Gatti used to do great in Atlantic City, but Boardwalk Hall is smaller then the Garden. I doubt even at his peak he could've sold out MSG.
