Rubio and Jennings are not even close to household names and $44.95 is not worth paying just to see how Cotto and Pavlik were effected by their loses. That much money for a ppv merits a great, meaningful matchup. Big names vs. big names. Maybe im just cheap, but im tired of everything being ppv. I pay for HBO, that should be enough.
This is not an HBO PPV.

Both HBO and Showtime turned it down, so Bob Arum had no choice but to make it a private PPV, just like he does with the Latin Fury cards.

Here's an article regarding this issue.
