    Mayorga\Mosely, Berto\Forbes, Klitchko\Peter and Dawson\Tarver all on Free TV within a few weeks of each other.

    Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, and we'll see more good fights on HBO and Showtime as opposed to everything being on PPV.

    I'm not sure tonight's HBO broadcast is an example of boxing getting it right.

    Dawson-Tarver certainly is.

    Klitschko-Peter may turn out to be a good heavyweight fight, it will be one of the bigger fights in the division this year, though the way it came about was very questionable.

    While Mosley\Mayorga may not be a 'great' matchup of in their prime superstars, it should be a real fun fight. And that's just fine with me.

    Free as in Non-PPV. I'm pretty sure most people understood that.

    It's obvious what you're saying, I just find it odd that the standards of rape have fallen so much, that an expensive monthly subscription, is now considered "free tv".
