    Cheato doesn't deserve a dime from me and Mosely, who has been shot for a number of years, is fighting a feather fisted trial horse...The undercards need to be way better for the $...The price keeps going up (in a recession), the quality keeps going down, and if we keep paying top $ for this bs, we can expect alot more bs...

    Pac fight prolly due to the size of the event and Pavlik on the card... But Mosley Mora... HELL to the NO.

    Mosley fight should not cost more than 25 bucks.

    Marg/Pac 4-SHO.

    Still on the fence about Mosley/Mora. I like Mosley but always considered Mora more of a reality TV boxer.

    :blood You do understand the thread is about TWO different PPV events, right?

    "Do you like vanilla or chocolate?"

    "No, that one isn't my favorite flavor..."

    :blood Were you talking about one in particular, or did you mean "either of these fights"?

    Rigondeaux is gonna be fighting Ricardo Cordoba. Im very interested in this fight... Just remember at this time last year, Cordoba was one of the top fighters at 122....

    Mike Jones... finally they bring a Eagle to Cowboy Stadium. Maybe Bob Arum finally figured it out. To make it a little more of an event. Let the crowd have some involvement in here...

    Pavlik/Edouard... we'll see where he is... It'll almost be entertaining. Edouard can punch and has been in some fights...

    Just because they have a guy from my homestate on the televised part of their ppv, im picking Pacquaio/MArgarito...

    Even though I wan to see Vivian Harris pul it out against Ortiz, and Baldomir test the young Alvarez... and the rise of Escalante. He's been in some really good fights lately.. Particularly against Micky Roman... I think Golden Boy's undercard will probably turn out better, but the main event, Top Rank got it.. Plus Mike Jones is on there.. Future of the Welterweight division...

    If that's true, Dish Net is overcharging.

    On Comcast, the Mosley vs. Mora PPV is $44.99 (five bucks more if you order in HD).

    Top Rank will be the more likely to brazenly charge over 50 (even for standard-definition), with the rationalization being that having Pavlik on the undercard makes it a top-dollar product. :-(

    If Montiel-Donaire was on the Pac-Margo PPV, i would definetly of bought that, but now im not too sure. Mosley-Mora has a pretty nice undercard, but not interested enough to spend my money on that.

    I'm undecided on the Mosley-Mora fight. I think the main event will be a pretty boring fight with Mora beating the aging Mosley. The only undercard fight I like on that one is Escalante-DeLeon. The Ortiz and Alvarez fights are showcases and will be fairly one-sided fights. I'm not crazy about the card overall, and if the Lopez-Marquez fight was still on that date then it would be a definite no. Now I'm undecided because there has been so little boxing on of any quality.


    I will probably order the Pacquaio-Margarito card as much as I hate contributing to Margarito. Despite Pac being a solid favortie I think its still an entertaining fight. I like Jones and Karass should make for a good test. Rigendoux-Cordoba should be a good fight, I like tha match up. I'm disappointed in Pavlik's opponent but I'm a fan so thats a plus.

    This has been a very bad year for boxing and fights keep falling apart practically every day. So just the oppurtunity to watch some boxing increases my odds of ordering.
