And fools say Chavez Jr doesn't deserve the purses he gets. Dumb muthafukkas. Numbers don't lie.

That just proves that people will watch any piece of shit on TV nowadays.
I like to call it the "car wreck" syndrome.

Bullshit. Put a Puerto Rican fighter (not named Cotto) on PPV. And I bet you it won't sell shit. Not even his momma would buy it. And her not being able to afford it won't be the reason either
