Some random questions

I knew what you meant mate. HBO have caused boxing a fair bit of damage over the years, paying massive coin for basically rubbish fights. Good to see they might have finally woken themselves up...

 

Cotto & Pavlik's matches are 100% finalized & are NOT being televised by HBO because they wouldnt approve of those opponents.
So Top Rank are running their own independant PPV in February as a result.

Top Rank always run their own independant PPV's think Chavez-Vanda, Pacquiao-Solis, Margarito-Manuel Gomez, Cotto-Malignaggi etc.

 

Arum took the fights to HBO and they didn't get approved. Can't see them doing very good numbers, they wouldn't if they were on normal HBO, let alone PPV. I don't think I'd go out of my way to catch the fights to be honest.

 

Taylor vs Froch might have been alright but I wouldnt pay for any of the other fights.

 

With Juanma Lopez, Ivan Calderon & future champ Matvey Korobov on the undercard i will defintely be watching this.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Main Event took UFC 95 over it.

 

Couldn't agree more. When you consider Adamek v Cunningham was free, you need to weigh up the value of these types of cards. Don't get me wrong, if Main Event do show it, I'll get along to the pub and watch it if I'm not busy doing something else. No way would I buy it or go well out of my way to watch it. The card will likely bomb stateside...

 

He makes middle mate, then that is where he will be ranked

 

Katsidis vs Ramirez is likely to be shown on Mainevent, my sources say that they have it scheduled to go on sale from the 10th for $30.

 

Im going to speak to my contact & find out wat the hell is going on at main event.:deal

 

Reason being that neither Taylor or Froch are that marketable at this point.

Same with Allan Green/Edison Miranda and Ward, who at this point really aren't main event PPV fighters. However that said, you think they could definitely make it onto the undercard,.

I would definitely buy Pav, Cotto and juanma card, would be some great knockouts, and an excellent way to get some friends into the sport.

 

Kessler v Taylor is a better option than Taylor v Froch anyway.

I'd like to see Froch fight another decent opponent in England before getting a Taylor/Kessler/Dawson type of opponent. Just not sure he is up to the top 2 or 3 guys at SMW at this stage, plus he's not a big enough name to headline a big American PPV

Maybe a Froch v Bika on a Ricky Hatton undercard at Wembley :yep

 

I would order it too no doubt.:deal
