    From Dan Rafael:

    "...Showtime, from what my sources tell me, can't accommodate the bout, which would probably push it pay-per-view in the United States."

    And that sounds GREAT to me. Showtime would have been a tape-delay, which I hate.

    I'd have to subscribe to Showtime to see the fight...might as well pay for the PPV and see it LIVE. Much better option, IMO.

    yes..its looking like PPV. Showtime was set for the 18th, but when the german soccer schedule came out, the Stadium was not available so it had to be switched to the 11th. Showtime already has commitments on the 11th

    It seems to me that you do not like boxing because you called the best heavyweight fight for the year 2010 garbage.

    My guess is that it will be integrated sports PPV (which is regular cable/satellite), same as Vitali's last fight. It was $24.95.

    With that said, the $15 Internet PPV of Wlad-Chambers...I have to say was better quality. The picture was a little clearer, and audio was better too. I didn't even notice that it was actually an "internet ppv", other than the hdmi cable running from my computer to the plasma tv.

    Either way is fine, I'm just saying those Internet PPV fights are really a good deal if you have the right setup for them.
