Thread: Best value for money PPV card you ever bought

Just got into an interesting discussion with hattonthehammer in another thread, and it got me thinking, what was the best PPV card you ever bought?

In the UK, we don't often have to pay out but I love the sport so much that I always would. The best for me was entitled "Judgement Night" when for your money you bought a 2 card special on the same night, one in the UK (Manchester I think), and then it crossed over to Vegas. You got to see Naz defend his world title, Robin Reid defend his world title, Winky Wright defend against Ensley Bingham for a world title and the main event was Steve Collins vs. Nigel Benn for a world title. Then in vegas you got to see 3 Heavyweight World title fights as Henry Akinwande defended his WBO belt, Michael Moorer defended his IBF belt against Frans Botha and then it was topped by Tyson vs. Holyfield.

What is the best PPV of boxing you've ever bought?

Jesus Christ! You got to see all that on two pay per views?! For how much?

Yeah can't think of anything even close to that.

I have posted the somewhat same post before. The Tyson-Holyfield undercard is the best and will never be matched again.

It was one large PPV for UK viewers for around £10-£15.

I don't see why it couldn't be. Promotors are becoming forced to offer value for money nowadays.

I went to New York to watch Cotto-Mosley because the undercard to that was pretty damn good. Seeing Casamayor vs. Santa Cruz, Margarito-Johnson and Ortiz make a step up against Maussa was something I considered value for money. The Billy Dib fight that wasn't televised wasn't too bad either.

Cotto vs Margarito was good but then Margarito was found out to be a cheater so that doesnt count.

I enjoyed floyd vs hatton.

Hard to pick between Mayweather-Hatton and Pacquiao-Hatton. But provided great joy

Pavlik v Taylor 2 card was pretty strong and one I loved watching.

The Floyd Hatton card wasn't great IMO. Manfredo-Lacy was just beyond garbage and then you had Ponce De Leon swinging wild all night barely managing a decision when he was expected to blow Escobedo away.

However I did like Edner Cherry and the main event was an ok fight excitement wise.

Morales-Pacquiao I was preceeded by perhaps the best undercard fight of the entire decade, Jorge Arce vs. Hussein Hussein.

There was a PPV that was worth the $$$.
