    For me its not, but only because I didn't buy PPV boxing that shouldn't be PPV (ex: Pac vs Diaz) even before out of principle and just finding better things to do.

    But some of you guys buy PPV all the time, and most feel the crunch of the economy in some way by now. So is this a factor for you. Or are you still buying up PPV's.

    The only one I'm getting is Cotto-Margo. Pac-Diaz I'll catch at the sportsbar. But I feel ya with these high ass gas prices $49 could go in my gas tank.

    I refuse to PPV. I just avoid this board for a week or so and watch the fight when they replay it for free. Worked for Pac v Marquez II.

    Are you saying that you were able to go the entire week without knowing who won? That would be difficult.

    Yea but I'm not talking about those kind of fights, but the smaller ones like Pac vs Diaz... by the way no problem with Pac, just his dancing partner doesn't make me want to shell out 54.99$

    Discipline, my man! That, and I'm broke most of the time and couldn't justify dropping $50 on PPV.
