    ...was Lewis vs. Klitschko in 2003 - do you agree?

    It's a pity that most PPV main events stink it out big time except Pacman vs. Marquez II...

    Floyd vs Zab was good, but the Pac vs Diaz was really worth my money, 4 good fights

    I don't think Lewis v Vitali was PPV. Wasn't Vitali a fill-in anyhow for that fight?

    My opinion is NO fight is worthy of a PPV.

    :think If so, than PPV in this millenium sucks - fights like Mosley - DLH are very rare these days to happen on PPV.

    PPV is the epitome of boring main events these days...fights on regular TV are far better - what that's supposed to be when you have to pay money for less entertainment...a clear contrariety...

    Yep, it was suppose to be him vs Kirk Johnson. I remember he drop out a week before the fight and Klit was suppose to be on the undercard. It was regular HBO

    Mosley-Cotto, I felt like I got my moneys worth which was 10 bucks because me and friends pitch on PPV so its not too overwhelming.

    I thought the Pavlik/Taylor rematch would've been worth the money but it wasn't....HHMMMM. Mosely/Cotto was IMO kind of a let down. Y'all might think I'm nuts but I actually think Trinidad/Jones was the best PPV fight I've seen in awhile and I'll tell you why. Nobody thought it would be any good and it turned out to be IMO a very entertaining fight. Far more entertaining than Gayweather/Dlh. All I know there's a slim to nill chance that Cotto/Margarito will NOT be worth PPV dollar. But we'll just have to wait and see.

    Lewis-Klit was PPV in Europe probably but i am positive that it was free in The U.S....

    Actually Isreal-marquez, gatti-ward, hell even klit-peter was all free and better than all other PPV that has been out the last few years...

    i HATE PPV with a passion and enjoy the fact that PPV stars like mayweather and mosely have no to the real sports stars of the world like C. ronaldo or Tom brady....

    the biggest sport in america, football, has ALL of it games for free!!!
    the biggest sport in the world, futball, has ALL of its games for free!!!

    so why does some sport that is on the fringes and trying to become more relavent continues to screw the few fans they do have is completely beyond me...

    i love boxing and as a fan of alot of sports, boxing is probably my favorite but knowing football and futball, there is no way boxing will ever be on their levels by doing this PPV bullsh!t...

    I hate ppv and and dislike most of the fighters that think that the only fans that give a sh!t about them has to pay to watch them.... IT SEEMS SO BACKWARDS TO SCREW OVER YOUR FANS....

    all of PPV are scams.. NO BOXING MATCH IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN THE SUPERBOWL OR EURO/WORLD CUP YET BOXING CONTINUES TO SCREW THEIR FANS, AND THATS WHY THEY ARE NOT AS BIG AS THE OTHER MAJOR SPORTS ANYMORE

    when boxing was in its hayday 1920-60s there wasnt any PPV for radios PPH??

    so why do we(the fans) put up with it... I HAVE NO IDEA.....

    The last good heavyweight PPV was Lewis Klitschko. There have been some good ppv's since but they've been in lower weight classes.
