    Well Mayweather is the biggest drawing fight so there will be a load of casual fans who have never heard of Maidana who buy it. Doesn't make it worth 70 dollars.

    I would skip Pacquiao-Bradley, and indeed will be skipping Pacquiao-Bradley. That's robbery. They robbed him, now they're robbing you by asking you for your ppv money for a second fight. They didn't respect you enough to get it right the first time, now they want YOU to fund it the second time.

    **** that.

    Something is worth what people will pay for it. That's the whole point behind a free market. If the fight makes money, then it most certainly is worth the $70 price tag.

    Alvarez vs Angulo. Simply because it's a fun fight but a pointless one. Hoping the winner fights Lara then it will definitely be worth it.

    That's a fair point, but do you not think even if Pacquiao had been correctly awarded the decision, Bradley has earned a second crack?

    Not really. It was a pretty boring fight for a Pacquiao fight with a pretty clear points victory. It also appears to be the reason Provodnikov didn't get his rematch, and that's a far better fight. Though I suppose if Provodnikov-Rios comes off I'll have to change my tune on that.

    Floyd vs. Maidana, likely the most boring and most expensive.

    Alvarez vs Angulo - will be the most action packed fight of all 4 fights .

    Cotto vs. Martinez - Both fighters have exciting styles which should produce an entertaining matchup . Martinez is coming into this fight with nothing but knockout on his mind and im sure its likewise for Miguel .

    Pacquiao vs Bradley 2 - Bad blood between these 2 fighters and they just itching to let their hands go on one another and finally prove to the world who is the true superior fighter of the two .

    Mayweather vs Maidana - Decent fight i'll admit it . We all know Maidana is going to bring it to floyd and do whatever it takes to put him to sleep . 80% of the boxing world will be rooting for Chino to give floyd a beatdown but unfortunately we already knew what the result was going to be as soon as this fight was announced .

    Other than Floyd/Chino , the other 3 fights are unpredictable and anything can happen in those fights so therefore i would choose to skip Floyd/Chino

    Agreed.

    I expect Mayweather-Maidana to look pretty much like Alexander-Maidana but an even wider win for Mayweather if thats possible seeing as Alexander-Maidana was 10-0.

    Maidana has overrated power so he isn't knocking out Floyd in one shot (who has an underrated chin) ?

    Maidana has Overrated power ?? The man hurts nearly every single fighter hes ever fought whenever he touches them . Despite Alexander who is known for having a solid chin .

    Floyd has an underrated chin ? No just no . Theres nothing underrated about his chin , his chin is very average . Shane proved that .

    id skip martinez cotto for sure. i dont like seeing 2 fighters i love face eachother.. well i usually dont mind it but when they are both past there primes id prefer they just retire .. its going to be hard to watch


    i always enjoy watching mayweather fight and his undercard is sure to be a hit

    pac v bradley for me is a 60-40 fight (in pacs favour) so id love to see how much bradley has improved and if pac still has it

    and canelo angulo has one of my fav undercards with fighters like will tomlinson and figeruoa. also the main event is sure to be a barn burner

    Agreed with everything you said.
    People dont understand styles and matchups.
    Maidana vs virtually anyone thats going to stand there and fight him would be fun to watch, but vs Mayweather its a different story because he's to defensive and he's to good.

    Watching Mayweather dissect Maidana is going to be like watching one of Wlad Klitchko title defenses. Boring as heck for the simple matter of if you see the first round you might as well have seen all 12 of them as each round will be a repeat of the others.

    I said serg/cotto but it could be Canelo v Angulo maybe Pac v Bradley.

    I said Serg cotto because both guys are a helluva lot closer to the end than the beginning of their careers.

    as for Canelo v Angulo . . . it truly is not a PPV worthy fight . . . should be a good fight but should not be on PPV

    Pac v Bradley, love Pac dont like Bradley's fighting style . . . saw it before . . . there is a history their but its not making me drool wanting to see it . . . I would like to see Pac get revenge but really dont care if they ever fought again because most people feel he won the first time . . . yawn.

    Floyd v M&M it is a mismatch but i like the matchup. Lets be real Floyd beats everyone at 147 and 154 easily, the interesting part is how does floyd react to the same type of relentless pressure M&M placed on little bro and you also have the revenge type angle.
