    Living in Europe makes it impossible to buy most PPV's anyway.
    Lucky for us there are a couple of (subscription) channels that broadcast a lot of the fights.

    But the prices of some of these PPV's are completely nuts. I know that some people here see it as some kind of status symbol to buy a ridiculously overpriced event just because they have enough money to do so. Just like paying € 22 for a beer in a Monaco cafe.
    It has proven to be bad for boxing and boxers alike. Bigger fights are removed from regular cable so less people watch the sport.
    Wich means less coverage and less income for the sub-ppv boxers wich are over 99% of them.

    The spell check corrects it when inappropriate, it let that one slide

    to each his own. i listen to rap but im not giving rap industry a dime of my money. all the pros and entertainers are rich so they dont need my money either
    let them take yours.

    floyd my fav fighter you think im give him some money, he need to cut me a check for taking up for him all the time. leading the charge in a never ending war.

    bout time i listen to a up in comer they are already rich in the music game. i never feel sorry or bad for not paying for ppv, cds, dvd, etc, etc,

    aint none of them mofos broke from the entertainer to the clean up.

    i feel you i just cant afford it. i watch them on live stream, hook laptop up to the flat screen and im in business. theaters are cool cause you can listen to the commentary. sports bars / night clubs are loud and half the people there dont even care bout the fight.

    all in all a lot of people dont buy ppv. this is why all ppv sales are down not just manny pacman. floyd ppv buys are down and even ufc and wwe events.

    i watch all my fights in 720p bro. im not talking no bull crap streams, crappy quality, crappy sound with hella lag. im talking hd non lag stream for a fraction of the price.

    i was paying 4.50 through paypal for a full hd stream no lagging. laptop connected to flat screen, buddies give me 5 bucks a head that covers food and bud. im trying to save a buck and make a buck at the same time.

    I am currently in the process of getting an android based computer that allows you to stream unlimited shows/live sports, its a one time fee of $125 I think for the equipment and another $50 for the service, not sure how it will work out but those who do have it seem to love it, the quality is amazing.

    oh I would never buy a rap cd. Listening to a rapper call you a broke ass ***** while paying for his ****, no way. I bought Eminem's LP when it just came out, but mainly because at the time he was broke and downloading via dialup was just painful.
