    Andre Berto.....really Floyd.

    You had to go and grab the most sorry ass opponent and stack the UC to make it a PPV.

    The early rumors of a free network TV fight were great news even though Berto is/always will be shiit.

    But putting on Groves/Jack, Martirosyan/ANYONE, Martinez/Salido2, and Theophane vs Eddie Chambers husband really got me interested in this card, BUT I refuse to buy the SWILL he's offering as a main event.
    Heck, he shoulda made Groves Jack the main event PPV and fought as chief support. That might have improved his #s.


    Im also interested in Ashley vs Mrs Chambers. It will be a great fight putting the winner into fringe contention. Theophane should win this, though the man with a womens name will be beating the man with a womens secksual orientation. ODD THIS. :yep:yep:yep

    That said......hopefully Showtime don't yank the youtube uploads of the undercard. Cuz I won't pay for this. :-:)-(

    Because 74.99 to watch the undercard with Floyd beating on a man who shouldn't even be in the ring with him is disgraceful and disrespectful as a true boxing fan. You don't care about being robbed, that's on you.

    I'm not paying 74.99, I'm paying 19.99 at a local theater as I mentioned before, and imo the entire card is worth the price, why are you so stuck on Floyd, he 38 and retiring, who you think an old man should be fighting....middleweights?!

    Yep... People turn up for the main event and often ignore the often much better stuff on the undercards, for me it's the other way round, most of the time the best fights that I'm looking forward are BEFORE the main event.

    So you paying 40 dollars... Not bad. Id have to shell out 100. This fight is not a fight fans fight. Its a FloydFan fight.

    That people here are paying for this is why we'll keep on getting ripped off and conned as boxing fans. But yeah it would have been huge for boxing and pbc if this was on CBS. The public interest and massive advertising avenue would've been spurred more and better fights on network TV and more mainstream acceptance and support for boxing in the near and long term. Would've been the perfect way for Floyd to go, and ironically probably would've been great for the future of his promotional outfit too. It didn't happen because Floyd with hundreds of millions in the bank would've had to take less than the 32 million he's making now. Tells us everything we need to know.
