      I'm still going to get the fight. It's crazy that they are charging extra for this fight. In the end a bunch of my peeps with get together and watch it and all split it. Throw down on the fight, booze and some pizza will still be less then a night out.

        They're charging extra as an extra "fukk u" to us fans who already waited 5, 4, and 3 yrs too late.

            it's going to be a boring fight, floyd mayweather fights are boring he's going to punch and move and punch and move, and manny doesn't knock people out anymore, going to go to a decision, so whoever the judges decide u want to pay -285 on what 3 people think

              Minimum $100. Maybe $110 for the hd version

              A total slap in the face. Come on guys show your disapproval by NOT paying for it

                    I boycott all kinds of businesses...this is a no brainer....

                    Things I've never paid for:

                    Cable/sat tv

                    Ppv

                    NFL game(in fact, I only support the Astros financially as far as pro sports go)

                    Most everythig made in china.

                    I quit eating at most places that are not locally owned.(local = city or state, some US)

                    I don't buy beer that is not locally brewed and owned.

                    Don't buy 99.999% of what is sold at walmart.

                    Only own/would own a few select foreign made autos. Basically if I buy non US its strictly based on specialization/quality, and that goes for a few products.

                    I don't pay for movies.

                    To sum it up, I pay close attention to where my money is going and who's pocket it will end up in...the real voting system in this world is your wallet. If it doesn't benefit me or my cause, then no money will be allocated...

                    ...I didn't even have to think about not paying for this fight...

                            $100 is nuts. Doubt I'll order it now. With spending $100+ on food I'll be over $200. Not worth it, IMO. I still work a 9-5. I'm not dripping cash. Ridiculous.

                                      100 dollars to watch a fight with 0 knock downs and is going to be a decision, everybody wants see manny knock floyd on his ass but let's be real manny doesn't have that knockout power anymore

                                                Nor do I think they're gonna get the ppv buys they think either. The record is 2.4 mil when floyd fought DLH in may 2007

                                                  Manny hasn't knocked anyone out in his last 9 fights in 6 years.

                                                    Wrong. Koed hatton in 2009 and tkoed cotto later that yr. That was 7-8 fights ago and within 6 yrs. Then he fought a bunch of guys with great chins like jmm and bradley twice. Mosley. Clottey. They all have great chins
                                                    He knocked algieri on his ass like 5 times. Eve. Provodnikov with great power only knocked algieri down once.

                                                    Manny has decent power still. U have to look at the opponents. The toughest chins he's ever fought have come since 2006 and he's tkoed and koed quite a few from 06 to 09. He'll touch floyd and floyd will feel it

                                                              2) bradley has a great great chin. did you see him fight provodnikov and take everything PLUS the kitchen sink??
                                                              3) rios good chin
