Kelly Pavlik PPV in Feb... rip off?

[Diane]

This is going to be a PPV split between 2 locations, the othe main event is the Cotto fight.

From my understanding they are going to show 2 of the undercards from the Cotto fight at MSG, then the Cotto fight, and then switch over to the Pavlik fight in Youngstown.

Anyone going to these fights (me to Pavlik since it's 20 minutes away) will be able to see the other main event, because they will show them live on the big screens of each venue.

They're both gimme fights, which is why I would never pay PPV prices for them. I can understand die-hard fans wanting to see their fighter come back from a loss, but putting in on PPV is ridiculous and it's a clear example of the type of policies which are killing boxing and have been for a long time...

You're going to the Pavlik fight? That'll be great, regardless of the opposition. I've still never seen a live fight. I thought about going to see Ishe Smith - Joel Julio in Vancouver, but good tickets were just too expensive to justify. I was definitly going to go see Pac fight in Van. when that was being discussed (I *think* he was supposed to be fighting Valero or maybe Soto, I could be wrong though), I would've payed a significant amount of money for that.

Yes, I plan on going.

We don't get $hit here in Ohio, so when there is a fight nearby, you bet I'm going to take advantage of it. Youngstown is just a quick drive down the highway for me, so I'm there!

The last time we had a fight here was little over 2 1/2 years ago, and I got lucky on that being my first live fight, because that was the Brewster/Lyakhovich fight. So a great fight broke my live fight cherry.

Of course I wish Pavlik was fighting a bigger name, but I'll take it, and I'm sure the ticket prices should be priced reasonably.

I wouldn't have gone though, if they weren't going to show the Cotto fight on their big screens there. No way would I miss my Miguel fight.
