Seriously...

I never have and never will pay for PPV. People pay money for cable/satellite TV so there is no reason why companies should take the piss and ask people to pay extra for an event that should be included in the package.

im not surprised. didnt nobody really want that fight wat people wanted was Pavlik-Calzaghe. i think that would have made more than the jones fight. TBH i dont even think it got 225,000.

I would rather pay $10 a month for WNF and Solo Boxeo than pay for the mostly garbage PPV fights. If I'm going to drop $50-$60 on a fight, I am paying for matchmaking. I know many fanboys that will pay to watch their heroes in a match that has no chance of being competitive. But that's not it for me, matchmaking is where it's at.

I hear you....had the fight happened like 8 years ago then hell yeah it would have done a lot better but seriously what did they expect was going to happen with an old Roy Jones?

PPV has destroyed boxing we have had some God awful PPV's just this year alone and they are so fucking expensive.....HBO needs to throw us a bone every now and then like Vitali-Lewis....one of the best nights of regular HBO boxing I have ever seen. It wasn't PPV, the fight wasn't even supposed to happen but due to injury it did, and both fighters performed well for the fans. The B.A.D. Night of the Young Heavyweights with fights from Mesi, Guinn, and Juan Carlos Gomez was a GREAT card and they should do something like that every year!

The PPV's HBO has put out either have been top to bottom horrible or the undercards have been God awful and therefore make upwards of $40 waaaaay too expensive.

I didn't order the PPV. It wasn't out of disintrest per se although I wasn't too worked up over the undercard. Christmas and Chanukah (didn't know I had Asian friends, did ya? ) usually restrict my November and December purchaes to gifts.

Good.

Hope Roy's paycheck suffers from this.

He let his fans down big time in that fight.

this fight should never of been PPV. calzaghe isnt that popular at this time as you would think and a lot of people knew that jones was shot so unless they were hardcore boxing fans there was a good chance that they were not going to pay for the fight.
