They should be ashamed of themselves...

[Kev]

It's not a great matchup on paper but it's not Kelly's fault, its his mandatory and if he doesn't take it he's stripped of his middleweight belt so what can he do?

Plus Espino is game, he can box a bit and has a big heart. I reckon he will put up a better show than you think.

[Cortez The Killer]

I really have no interest in either fighter.

Maybe something I could see myself watching if it was on a rather boring tuesday night. Friday...Saturday...im not even gonna watch if for free

[TitoFan]

It's a slow, deliberate process... this PPV scam. Slowly but surely, they continue lowering the bar on the fights that are PPV. Most people start off saying, quite correctly, "I wouldn't pay to watch that sh*t". But eventually, they wear the consumers down, to where it's commonplace to pay for the mundane, crappy fight. When in the past did people imagine they'd have to pay to take a dump in a pay toilet?

Bingo. Right you are Tito!!

Look, I'm not saying that Pavlik wasn't hurt, didn't get an infection or have a reaction to the antibiotics but what I'm saying is... Pavlik was too injured to take on an elite fighter but will fight a mandatory(regardless of the caliber) to keep his garbage belts. This is what's wrong with the sport... I truely think that all those things happened to Kelly but it would have done the sport well to have him relinquished the belts to get 100% so he could fight a live body. Espino might last 6 rounds if Kelly is at 85%...

Instead, we're all gonna have to wait another 8 to 10 months to see Kelly in the ring with someone of any merit.

It should really be shown on free TV thats for sure.

[Mar]

.....free they should offer to fly us out there and watch it live for free. This fight is staight ass, i doubt you could get pavliks own mother to miss bingo to watch this shit. Funniest of all pavlik is preparing for this crap with a straight face and has the nerve to even say paul williams name still. Bro aren't your nike's still smoking from running from the guy. Pavlik has come and gone...i'd just like to see more of the going, and take punk ass oleg maskev with you for wasting my gas money last week.

Classic!

[DaxxKahn]

No more ashamed of themselves then the guys who thought Jones/Lacy was PPV worthy

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Agreed on the Lacy/Jones front and pretty much all of the above comments.

This sport disgusts me sometimes... In the past few months it's been the Malignaggi robbery the first time around... Then Funeka getting robbed.(I really like Funeka)... I don't mind putting something into getting to watch a great event. BUT MAKE IT A GREAT EVENT!

I used to be a big Pavlik fan but he's pissing me off now. He pics NOW to talk about how much Williams needs him today. Kelly, shut up and heal all your ass-aches. Martinez AND Williams could beat Kelly at this point IMO. I think Martinez opened alot of people's eyes "Beating" Cintron and then having a fantastic war with the Punisher.

It's all fine and good about the stripping if he doesn't fight but it amazes me that two weeks later he's healthy enough to defend his titles but agains Espino. "My hand's still a little tender." Then go tend bar somewhere. You're a prize fighter, for christ's sake.

Lol thanks bro....a little hard to say cause i was diggin pavlik awhile back. But geeeeezzz ppv ?? Even ceasar chavez jr is shaking his head saying that crap aint ppv worthy. To be fair i can see pavlik fans buying this but other than that, you can't buy crap like this then bitch they don't offer good cards or fights, shit if i could make bread off this fight somehow i would too. Save your time and re-watch this weekends fights, go back turn off the volume and re-judge some close fight but don't give these teet suckers money for this fight. Even if it isn't my money.

JCC Jr shaking his head at Pavlik-Espino being PPV? That's cold, bro.



That's like Don King calling Bob Arum a sleazebucket.

Bilbo, Espino is WBC #3. He's not the mandatory. This is an optional defence as far as I'm aware.

He's WBO #10 and WBC #3. How is that a fucking mandatory?
