    The undercard rules, but no... I can't even get it here on PPV if I wanted to.

    And if I could I wouldn't pay that amount of cash for it knowing that most of it will get into Floyd's pocket, while I pay to see the other guys.

    Don't think I could call myself a boxing fan if I said no. Of course I'll buy it.

    fantastic card...price is steep, but not in comparison to a $50-$60 card full of nothing

    not $49 for this one. GBP is putting it out at $59.95, some systems charge an extra $10 for HD.

    Why do people get labled as morons just because they want to buy the fight?

    I agree. I thought this was a boxing site? I guess I was wrong.

    Of course. I'll always happily spend my money to see Money ply his trade, regardless of how little chance I give his opposition, and in this case, it's between slim and none.

    $70 isn't a big deal. I was considering going to Vegas for the fight, but don't feel like dropping at least a G over a couple days. Rather save my juice till next year and go big when Mayweather and Pacquiao fight anyways.

    Just throw a fight party and have people chip in. It really isn't hard to get 5 dollars from a few people. 4 friends and you've already cut the damage by $20. I'm sure you have more than 4 friends.

    What this man said. I was gonna write the same thing. If you consider yourself a fan of boxing, you'll buy this.

    I'm not even really interested in the main event. The undercard sells it. Either way, you gotta see it.

    I wonder if they could pull in more money if the PPV was 14.99

    i'm heading to Vegas that week, but will be in Lake Havasu for the fight. I can afford $70, that's not the point, though. No matter what, $70 is just over the top for this card. But if the fight does well, say goodbye to $49.95 or $54.95 cards, the price will continue to increase until the public has had enough.

    Only for the top TOP fights tho. I would hope HBO et al are smart enough to know that no one in their right mind would have paid $70 for B-Hop - Pascal II no matter how sick the undercard is!
