    Cool Chad Dawson vs Bernard Hopkins on PPV?

    I read that this fight will be PPV. Now I'm a huge Bernard Hopkins fan been one since he fought RJJ. He actually might be my fav. boxer of all time. The man is a living legend one of the greatest to ever do it. But is this really a ppv fight? Bernard's style is not very pleasing to the casual boxing viewer despite his last showing being quite entertaining and Chad Dawson's style does not compliment it either. I will obviously watch this fight but other than hardcore boxing fans I don't see many people ordering this fight. I'm not arguing about the caliber of fighters here because both of these guys have been p4p. I'm talking strictly numbers does this ppv make sense to you? What are your opinions on this?

    BTW I'm back... lol

    If it's on PPV, i'll watch it on a live stream, but even then i'm not going to be all that interested in watching these 2. Hopefully there will be a good undercard fight.

    Welcome back.

    it is destined to be a PPV bomb. I'm a fight addict and I don't want to pay to watch that fight. I'll be streaming that fight.

    Yeah this is terrible for ppv. I mean really boxing needs to lay off on all the ppv fights. About ten a year would be plenty. Just the biggest fights.

    I agree it will do terrible numbers. So from a business standpoint, no, this should not be a PPV.

    That said, I like a technical fight and this will be far more competitive than, say, any of Manny's PPV fights over the last several years. From a personal value perspective, I'm more OK with paying for this than for Pacquiao-Clottey (or even Pacquiao-Marquez III), though as a fan I end up paying for all of them anyway.
