is salido vs martinez really PPV?

[TitoFan]

Not PPV material, I agree. I'm only going 'cause I got some free tickets.
Should be a pretty good boxing card all around, though.

Damn, that's a nice fight to be at, is it in Puerto Rico

Haven't been to a live boxing event in awhile, so I'm kinda excited. Supposedly there's 9 fights in all, so I'll try to be there early and catch all the action. A group of us are going, and we'll probably get dinner and a few drinks at this pub just across the street from the venue. That, and a pair of binoculars for the ring girls... and we should be all set.

I've heard Puerto Rico is a terrific place to catch a fight. Have a good time.

This isn't a PPV like a Floyd fight, it's an independent PPV because it wasn't picked up by HBO or Showtime etc.

Martinez-Salido should be an action-packed fight and possibly the best fight of the night, including the fights in NY. Salido crushed Puerto Rican boxing fans' hearts when he stopped JuanMa twice. Martinez has a chance at winning one back for the island. I bet there will be real boxing energy there.

Hey thanks, Rant. Should be a fun-filled evening for sure. The place where it's being held, Coliseo de Puerto Rico, is a nice place. It's got some good pubs around for hanging out before and after the fight. But for boxing it's a bit too big for my taste. I've attended boxing events at other venues, such as the Roberto Clemente Colisseum and, although smaller and older, it's perfectly sized for boxing. No bad seats there. Still... we got some box seats, so it should be great.

Of course we're all rooting for Martinez. But Martinez is probably a big underdog in this one. He's got the heart of a lion, but he's a bit slow of hands, and has also been in some pretty good wars himself. It will be a slugfest for sure, as neither guy is a master of defense. Let's see whether Rocky can pull it off. The rest of the card should be pretty good also.

Having been to several fight events on the island, I can attest to the crowd's energy. We love our boxing here, just like I imagine the crowds in the UK and elsewhere with great boxing traditions.
