This May Sound Bitter But Pac isin't A $49.95 Fighter

[Julius Rain]

Here's the deal Shame on me for buying the fight at $50 and then complaining about it. Thats on me

You are a diehard pac fan and thats cool and all but at $50 the EVENT should have some good build up and anticipation. From a non pac fan perspective it did not plain and simple. Thats a big turn off, at least with Floyd the promotion is there and it is an anticipated event whether you wanna see Floyd win of get his head knocked off and Diaz certainly wasnt gonna carry the promotion.. Thats my gripe

theres only been two or three well promoted floyd fight.

gatti,hatton, oscar.

Floyd tried hard to whore himself and at times try to play the bad guy the thug but look at floyd his tiny compared to the average "gangsta" thats why he can't make american fans buy into that act. he does not look tough, his not a street guy, its hard to be intimidated by him due to his size. Plus in pacs case, he doesn't need to promote. He does his thang in the ring and thats why everyone loves to watch him. Pac doesnt have to whore himself. what has boxing come to when we are talking about fight promotion, instead of what the fighter does in the ring.

j.t you talk like every floyd fight is huge and worth $50 plus, it never is ok. pac fight is and majority will agree. this fight with diaz, wasn't competative but was a lot better to watch then any floyd fight cause not only pac dominated and box diaz ears off, he also finished him off and its thats much more exciting cause diaz is a former welterweight and pac a former featherweight. unlike floyd hatton, floyd came down from 154, and hatton came up from 140 and floyd was the so called "p4p king" real kings go up in weight class to fight the guys above not below.

Lets compare pac and floyd fights, if you'd like cause if pac isn't worth $50 then nobody in boxing is.

you certainly are entitled to your opinion... Entertainment value is subjective... I gave pac props and credit in another thread I started and said an EVENT like him fighting Hatton or doing the impossible and fighting Cotto or Floyd Etc. That is worth $50 bucks not some guy who was brough to the slaughter... To me its no more impressive than Gatti Mayweather... Dont give that shit either Floyd had moved up in weight plenty and fought the bigger guy, and you no damn well Pac was bigger, stronger and taller than Diaz so skip the symantics already

no now we know pac is stronger but bigger? nope diaz was a pound heavier on fight night and is naturally bigger. his a former welterweight j.t a former welterweight. yea floyd has gone up in weight as well but pac has gone up more and ktfo of his oppenents. now thats ppv sells buddy.

Pac 106-135 thats 29 pounds up, floyd 130 to 154 thats only 24 pounds up. Plus floyd only fought once at 154 then came back down right away unlike pac his alreayd planning on going up another 5 pounds. that'll be 34 pounds up thats impressive don't you think? AND HIS KNOCKING THESE GUYS THE FOXCK OUT!!!! tell me j.t. who has done what pac is doing in boxing history? thats p4p defined for you in the ring not from his mouth with his fist.

It's easy to get into a Pac vs. PBF argument here, which could go on indefinitely. The deeper issue is why we constantly have to get EVERY fight with either of these guys - or any marquis fighter - on a PPV.

I understand the money side, but I'd rather shell out $50 for an event between TWO fighters of this caliber. Killersheep mentioned this in his post earlier, the matchmaking. I agree there was danger with Pac moving up a weight, since you never know how a fighter will handle a new weight. But that's not really $50 worth of suspense!

I'd love it if PPV, or at least the $50 PPV, were reserved for the megafights. I wouldn't mind shelling out $20 or so just to see my favorite fighters, but $50 is tougher to afford every month!!
