    Either splitting the cost with a group or individually.

    For those ordering, is this the first pay per view you've ordered this year?

    Pacquiao-Marquez II are this one are the only cards I've considred paying money for in '08.

    Jones-Trinidad, Pavlik-Taylor II, Pacquiao-Diaz...there's been some pretty bad cards this year...and even with this one, there's only one real pay per view-worthy fight.

    I won't, I'll probably head to the sportbar or catch an online stream, I don't mind paying for a MMA or boxing card that I feel is stacked, but this one, apart from the main event ( wich is one of the best fight that can be made in boxing imo ) is brutally bad, who the fuck is Bernabe Conception and the other midgets fighting on the undercard ??? I have no idea and I don't care

    Ok, there's Cesar Bazan ( who is shot ) and Kid D fighting on the undercard but both vs guy I never heard off, they could have at least be matched together, just awfull

    I'm ordering. Didn't invite anyone over because I don't like watching my favorite fighters fight with casual fans, knowing I'm gonna be a nervous wreck :lol: Though I'm sure someone will make an uninvited appearance.

    This is the first PPV I've ordered by myself this year. Usually, I watch with a few family members and friends or tune into my boy's Slingbox.

    Thus Far, REED's Ordered Roy vs. Tito & BJ Penn vs Sean Sherk on PPV...& According to the MRS., REED Only has Room for 1 or 2 More...

    As Such, REED'S Gotta SAVE Space for Roy vs. Calzaghe &/or Some Other BIG End of the Year PPV...

    I already ordered tonight's fight. I have a few people over but they are all fans of boxing and understand how big this fight is.

    I have already ordered a few ppvs during the year. sometimes like tonight I don't mind paying $50 knowing the undercard is shit. The main event is worth it. :partie:

    i always order the PPVs. i am a sucker, the only cards i didn't order are the real bad ones - like Hopkins-Winky. no possible upside to that match.

    i almost always coax my buddies into splitting these things with me. minimal damage on the wallet.

    fuck i am excited for this main event

    No, I'm going to a friend's house who's having a fight party.

    My payment is the drinks and chips I bought to bring to the party.

    I used to HATE watching Morales fights with a group of know-nothings too. I know how you feel. Hell, the two years the Broncos won the Superbowl, I watched the games alone because I didn't want to choke anyone to death. I like Margarito tonight but I'm not a huge fan so I'm in party mode!!!!

    I'm watching it at my dad's house who lives next door to me. :fightme:

    Have been boycotting PPV's since the day's Tito and Vargas were main attractions and will continue to do so. All you who buy them help push the agenda to keep doing it.

    You are all ruining boxing by ordering PPV's. The suspense and drama of a fight isn't worth $49.95 when you can watch it next week on HBO, the common sense behind that thought is what originally made me stop purchasing PPV's.

    How effective can your boycott be when ppv's have gotten considerably worse since then?
