No one wants to pay $50 to watch a good fight on payperview...plus if you break it down by demographics at least where i am from....the people who want to watch it cant afford it...im sure alot of people splurged yesturday for Cinco de Mayo

look at these numbers and tell me that you think people don't want to pay to see a good fight.
the problem with boxing is the 'what's next?' who is boxing going to promote to us w/in the next year? noone. this fight (which sucked, btw) can't save boxing because there won't be another promoted fight for 2+ years. i think boxing needs 2, maybe 3, good fights per year.
