    I think it is a ridiculous PPV.
    They're both so old, it's gonna be as boring as the Holyfield-Valuev fight. (WHICH HOLYFIELD GOT ROBBED OF!)
    But to be honest, I'm interested in how Holyfield is gonna do, with the money problems and the possible brain damage.. He can't even talk now without slurring..

    It's a ridiculous FNF. It's criminal as a PPV.

    I get what you are saying, but I never said I was a hardcore fan just because I was wanting to go to this fight, it was suggested by my friend Arriba. But anyway, I see what you are saying, it wouldn't make me a hardcore fan, but I am a hardcore fan, so...:lol:

    I would love to see that fight live, but those tickets are expensive as hell. I will need to resort to ppv for that one. :lol:

    Anybody up for predicting an undercard?

    Main Event
    Holyfield vs Botha

    Co-Main Event
    Bruce Seldon vs Jorge Luis Gonzalez

    Elijah McCall vs George Foreman the 7th

    He gave enough young guys and I seriously don't want to see any of the current young guys, who aren't much to brag about, beat on Holy. If anything that will attract negative support which most don't want seeing how highly Holyfield is regarded and how many have him as their favorite fighter.

    I also am a Holyfield fan. It's sad for me to see him fight like this.

    I read a report last night that Evander is guaranteed a million...

    If i'm a promoter with a good prospect who gets little to no play on US TV (Mike Jones, David Lemieux, Bermane Stiverne), fringe guys (Ishe Smith, Dionisio Miranda, Joey Gilbert, Dominic Guinn,) young American heavyweights (Mike Wilson, Jonte Willis, Deontay Wilder, Tor Hamer, Joey Dawejko), You want to be apart of this undercard.. I got better things to do like watch Caballero fight that night, so I'll be fine..

    I am looking foward to it. PPV is the only way i can watch this in the uk. Been a fan of Botha for a while so id like to see these two go at it.

    Not quite. Tickets are priced from 25-250 bucks. I guess boxing fans who just happen to be in Vegas @ the time would probably go see it. Like some people say, if you can afford to go to Vegas and have a really good time, you can afford to watch this live.

    Does boxing really need to show two washed up fighters on non-PPV TV?

    Its better that this is on PPV and nobody even notices.
