Is the business of boxing truly so ludicrous that this fight would make more money on PPV, or is Richard Schaefer just out of touch with reality? Are you guys going to buy this?
Cotto-Foreman was on regular HBO and Cotto supposedly has more drawing power than Mosley, not to mention that was a title fight. I just don't understand why a fight between one guy who is essentially unknown and another guy who looked like **** and got his ass beat badly in front of millions just a few months ago garners any potential PPV interest.
To be honest...it's really not that bad of a card, just a bit expensive. A definition of a bad PPV Card was that Top-Rank Kelly Pavlik vs Miguel Espino BULL****!!!
Man, it's football season. I'm not willing to pay 50 bucks to see Mosley and Mora fight regardless of who is on the undercard when I can watch the Ravens and the Bengals the next day for free. They'll probably throw more punches anyway.
I'm buying it tomorrow night. I like Shane and I am intrigued to see how Canelo will handle Baldomir because it won't be easy. Solid night of boxing.
It was explained on ESPN. There's only so many HBO dates available and I guess Golden Boy reserved the ones they wanted, the rest of the fights made had to go on PPV. Still doesn't make any ****ing sense.
This would have been a really good fight for HBO after dark. It would have been nice to see it live without already knowing the outcome when I watch it next week. Certainly has no place on PPV. Id like to see how Shane looks though, I expect him to win.
