    Yes, and my Comcast service lists it at $39.95 for the show. I believe I'll be watching Dirrell on Showtime.

    Indeed. JCC Jr is in a good position in terms of drawing. People will pay to see him fight because of the lineage...and others will pay to see him fight because they want to be there when he falls. Basically his PPVs sell well enough that Arum is confident in milking them repeatedly.

    Humberto Soto being on the card doesn't hurt either.

    This PPV is no worse than the PAvlik/Rubio trash..

    At least Pac's Kryptonite is fighting.

    There was a report released a few weeks ago thst said (IIRC) that Arum only needs approximately 75K buys to break even on Top Rank produced PPVs. I believe Cotto/Pavlik surpassed that.

    Honestly it's not hard to believe that 75K disillusioned boxing fans would tune in to see JCC Jr's son fight.

    Apparently it doesn't cost much to get on PPV. A local MMA promotion here in Halifax could have got a PPV for only $2000. I am not sure how it would change for any other event.

    Normanlly, YES. But I ain't gonna lie to ya'll. I just ordered it...:lol::rofl:lol:

    Can't remember who's on the undercard, but the wife and I didn't really feel like goin' out anyways, and if we did, I'd easily spend $100.00 between drinks and tips, food etc....

    So really it's a cheaper way out, AND she agreed to watch with me!

    This is my FIRST Latin Fury card though, so hope it's good. If I remember right, there are some good fighters on the undercard.

    Oh well, can't stand it, I love boxing...:yep
