Thread: Which PPV are you looking forward to most in the first half of 2014?

im not seeing. the huge excitement about the sergio-cotto fight. both seem past their best. cotto is too small for that weight class and sergio should easily win. i just dont get the excitement. im not saying that its not a good fight but its definitely not a fight that im eagerly anticipating.

You know what. Here is my thought, Sergio has grown into a middleweight, but he'll never be a big middleweight. Cotto grew into a junior middleweight. Thus, while Sergio is a bigger man, their sizes aren't too far apart. I think Cotto has a style that should give Sergio some problems. He's a good boxer/puncher and Sergio had problems with Macklin/Barker fighting that way until he figured them out, and even though he is smaller, I have to think Cotto is a better boxer than both those guys in a p4p sense. Put in the fact that Sergio has slowed down and his knees are going fast, and I think Cotto may be getting Sergio at just the right time. If this fight had happened a few years ago say at 154, I probably agree with you, Sergio eats him up, which is why Cotto ducked him, but now, I think the fight is more even.

We have to commend Cotto for going for greatness. It's something other notable boxers of this era have not done. Going for greatness should be recognized.

Cotto-Martinez!

i agree that cotto always fights the best guys he can and so i understand the fight for both of them. maybe most people are thinking like you though. that sergio will have slowed down enough for cotto to have a chance. its possible, but unlike you, i think that the style is in favor of serigo mainly because of the size difference. i believe that sergio is a small middleweight but that cotto is hardly even a light middleweight.

I am not happy happy for Froch v Groves, that use to be free on ITV.

I saw the Tyson Fury card was $29.95 last weekend on PPV. Had to laugh at that one.

Pacquiao-Bradley is the best fight, but Top Ranks undercards are usually poor.

If there's a good undercard for the Mayweather PPV, it will be the best. Golden Boy sometimes stacks their PPVs.

Precisely.

Or am I slanging and banging down at Venice Beach Brother!?

Just thought it strange that a card like that would be in in America. Let alone PPV.

It's always nice watching Floyd fight but most of the time, well all of the time, we know what will happen and I don't expect anything different with Floyd fighting either Khan or Maidana. I do expect Pac to defeat Tim but in no way is Pac v Brad a forgone conclusion.

Do agree with you that the Pacquiao vs. Bradley rematch will be an exciting and action-packed rematch. Pacquiao seeking to settle the score against Tim while Bradley's attempting to prove his win in the first was not a joke.

Well, the rumble is finally on.

Depends on the may 3rd undercard but I'd have to go with pacman vs bradley for now
