I like Wink but he's not a ppv fighter, and as good as Mayweather is neither is he. Why can't they all take a lesson from Roy and stick with non ppv HBO events?

Mayweather-Judah did pretty good numbers. So would plenty of other Mayweather fights.

im speaking in terms of excitement and how pumped up their actual fighting gets the fans, neither belongs on ppv

my opinion anyway

you might be right about Winky. But again, money talks and bullshit walks. Obviously, a lot of people were pumped up enough to spend $50 to see Mayweather-Judah. People's willingness to spend is the best measure of how "pumped up" they are to see someone fight, and of how much a fighter "belongs" on PPV.

very true.....cc

not to mention that mayweather vs. judah damn near sold out the thomas and mack
which is a HUGE arena, and thats with judah coming off a loss

yeah i have to agree it was pretty PIMP that Winky vs JT was on regular HBO as opposed to PPV.
and when I say JT i am speaking of the current middle weight champion: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

i think the only reason that wright/jt wasnt on ppv was because it was an hbo boxing anniversary, and they were doing it as a gift for the fans or something(or at least thats what hbo said when the fight was announced)

The question is who will his opponent be?? I heard Castellijo!

for the info.

That would be nice.

Let me say this...& I think that I have a right because I am a huge fan of the Winkus...heh heh heh...

Anywho, I love Wright & all that...& while I think that he is truly worthy of PPV status...his style is not. Most boxing fans want knockouts & when I have had my chums over for fight nights...they are almost disgusted to have to chip in on a $49.95 card that doesn't come equipped with a knockout.

It's sad...but it's true.

Mayweather is PPV worthy my friends...sorry...but he is.

Wack,how can PBF be PPV worthy and WInky not? The JT fight was more exciting than PBF's last few fights and PBF doesn't do KO'S either! I don't think either is particularly PPV worthy as to us hardcore fans,they are artists,boxers in pure form but to the average fan,,they are boring fighters.The average fan wants to see a war,a thrill,a classic and these are not that type of fighter in my opinion.CC back...I'm off to bed

Re-read my post oh dearest eager beaver of mine...

We said basically the same thing...but I said that most fans don't think he is worthy...while I do.

Mayweather is much more exciting to watch than Winky.. You have to give him that.

Dang another excellant point.

Winky is not my style fighter but he really impressed me against Taylor and he is much more of a warrior than PBF.

[El Gamo]

P4PKing,yeah,I find Floyd more exciting to watch than Winky. Sorry Wacko,I was half asleep but you still said PBF is PPV worthy and said he's not!!And thanks Mracho,you make some great points too. Have a cool click on me!
