    Yeah but most of those PPV fights don't belong on PPV ... and I remember going back and fourth with you on buying the Mosley v Mayorga fight ... and I can tell you this - I'd rather spend my hard earned money on a championship fight ... but if its the case of watching Pavlik v Hopkins or Mayorga v Mosley ... then my money is going towards a fight ... Mayorga v Mosley.

    If boxing keeps this type of activity, and probably just remove all those stinking decisions, boxing will surely catch-up to other mainstream sports.

    Both Mayweather fights werent very exicting especially the Hatton fight maybe you like the big buyrate numbers but I dont give a **** it doesnt produce exicting fights. Pavlik-Taylor 2 wasnt as good as the orginal but still a good fight and the 3rd Marquez-Vasquez fight was the best in the trilogy. Pavlik-Miranda was fun but its overatted IMO Pavlik won every round it was a horrible beatdown. This year has had some incredible fights Marquez-Pacquiao 2,Marquez-Vasquez 3,Holt-Torres 2,Campbell-Diaz,Johnson-Dawson,Katsidis-Casamayor and we still got potential barnburners in Cotto-Margarito,Diaz vs Katsidis,Barrios-Juarez,DLH-Cotto/Pacquiao ETC.
