Mag 7 was a great all round show for the deciated fans, but didn't seem to grasp the attention of the more casual/neurals.

To us, 5 or 6 long fights is ace, to other people, it's a bit of a chore to sit through them!!

That's the one that always springs to mind, especially as it was followed with Tyson-Holyfield 1.

The one which featured Calzaghe-Eubank and Naz-Badillo was also a good one.

Naz-Soto was a quality PPV, even if the main event fell flat. US undercard featured Morales-McCullough and the UK leg had about 4 or 5 very solid fights.

Also Lewis-Grant, with a great support in Ingle-Jones in the US and Holmes-McCracken in the UK.

Lewis-Botha was a great card, shame about the main event:

Benn vs Collins 2 was NOT on PPV. It was free. Tyson was on PPV yes.

The Reid vs Wharton card was quite stacked.

Really? I thought it was all lumped together.

Oh well it was more than half my lifetime ago.

They used the Benn vs Collins 2 to hype up the PPV.... every ad break it mentioned order now - thats how I remember.

It was the same for Holyfield vs Tyson 2 - The Hide vs Tucker bill (although given alot of air time in the countdown shows) was free.

Yes - THAT is how to treat a world heavyweight title promotion with the respect it deserves, Hayemaker.
