    Rip-off, and not because of Lacy.

    Would you say the ticket prices are too high? I live with in driving distance of it and I'm thinking about going but it seems like the tickets are kind of a rip off considering who's fighting, although the undercard is pretty good.

    This fight is on PPV?
    Is it on an HBO PPV or is it one of those "HBO would not pick up this fight, nor would any other network so we have no choice but to put it on PPV" type deals?

    This is the case - no Network would pay for this - I'm not even sure if they even tried to shop it to ESPN or Versus. This is an independent PPV from Square Circle and Lacy Promotion. I don't expect good numbers - nor do I expect much from this fight. It's just 2 decent names fighting each other - cause they couldn't do better than each other. I guess they thought the fight would sell well if they did it in Florida - so we'll see what the numbers do in about 2 weeks. Just because I'm a fight freak I may buy it - if I can't find it streaming online (Jus-Tin).
