    None of them will be on PPV over here but if I'm not working those nights I will stop up for Canelo v Cotto and maybe GGG v Lemeiux (although I will defo watch it at some point).

    Mayweather v journeyman Berto I won't even watch unless something noteworthy happens in the fight like Berto shocking the world and winning 1 round.

    Not buying them personally but going over to my coaches house to watch Canelo-Cotto and GGG-Lemieux. He isn't even getting the Mayweather fight so it's not an option.

    Good fights all around[emoji106]

    We also got Mares-Santa Cruz... I'm really looking forward to that one.

    Al Haymon at least understands that to win the Mexicans you need to match the best with the best...

    Some group of peoples are excited about boxing on NBC... Boxing has been free on free channels for YEARS!!!! Where do you think Bernard Osuna came from??? Free fights on Telefutura, Univision, Azteca, Telemundo etc... We had Chavez Jr. Fights, Canelo fights, JMLopez, Mares, Vargas, Ponce De Leon etc... all kinds of top fighters go through free networks.

    Haymon is not showing us anything different... Garcia-Malignaggi was borderline disgraceful.

    bradley-rios with donaire-quigg as the undercard would be a way better purchase than these 3.

    Being in the UK i doubt any of those 3 will be a PPV event for me. If they were id buy the 2 that are going to include a fight. Mayweather v Berto? 2 utter prix. Think i would leave that.

    Every boxing fan could close there eyes right now and imagine very accuratly EXACTLY how the fight will go. Very boringly.

    Im really lookin forward to this one. Guna be a war. Canelo will start really strong, will look a 1 sided battle but he will over do it, gas himself out and atleast the last 5 or 6 rounds is guna be a bloody slugfest.

    I've felt this way about that one all along.

    Yet to me, compared to the other two, I expect this one to easily be the most competitive.

    Floyd and Golovkin are both levels above the likes of Berto and Lemieux.

    I'm curious to see if the proportions in this poll are in any way indicative of what the final tallies will look like for the trio of overpriced events.

    Hmm, good thought.

    Lance Pugmire said something interesting. He said most of Floyd's big PPV #'s come from the people who buy Mayweather's fights to see him lose, but what if that portion of the buyers are gone because they know there is 0% chance Mayweather will lose? It'll be interesting to see how many buys it does.

    I bet Mayweather-Berto has less than 500,000 buys.

    After seeing the social media uproar tonight...I wouldn't be surprised. The whole world be turned upside down if Canelo/Cotto and GGG/Lemieux made more than Mayweather (it won't happen though). Imagine the craziness. :scaredas:
