    Just wanted to clarify. I know it sucks. And yeah that means Lemieux's fight will now be ''free''. His last fight on HBO vs Rosado was airing on HBO Canada.

    I'm not familiar with how they do their ratings, but you should be able to rate this fight yourself, instead of being a sheep that follows a site. Neither of these guys have won a fight against anyone notable. I didnt know 2 guys ranked from 5-20, in a mediocre division is considered a great undercard. I mean I'm a big fan of Pascal, but the fact that he's a top 3 lhw just shows how weak that division is, and how Bhop a 50 year old man was world champ. If you think chilemba vs lepikhin is worth the same as Betribiev vs Alvarez then just LOL. You rely on rankings and websites too much, you should try ****yzing guys yourself. No way in hell Cunningham vs Glaskov is a 5 star fight. If that's a 5 star fight, Garcia vs Peterson is a 10 star fight. :rofl

    I guess Bey vs Vasquez was a 7-10 star fight since both those guys are ranked higher than anyone on the under card.

    Remember this and Cleverly/Bellew II next time someone talks about PPV's in America. They aren't the only place that does them.

    thats another thing...if they are going to be making all these fights on tv and ppv, they should have their own web channel where ppl could pay a fee and watch the fight....i mean with all the illegal streams, i would suspect an online boxing channel would trump ppv once word got out, and much more convenient for a lot of ppl who dont always catch the channel because they live in a certain area

    This is complete BS. What a joke making a free fight a PPV fight in this **** country, Nobody is buying that ****, give me a break. I'd for sure watch it if it were free and I subscribed to canada HBO mostly for the fights they show, but this is ridiculous.

    ..and Spike TV tape delayed PBC last night.

    I feel for you guys.

    Not a fight worth paying for.. at least not more than an HBO sub.

    ****ing crooks! And 65 bucks? WTF?! Another boycott for me. I'll read the rbr and catch the replay. Seriously considering dropping HBO and moving to Showtime, just as soon as Floyds contract is up that is.
