Do you want to spend $49.95 on GGG-Lemieux, $59.95 on Cotto-Canelo or $64.95 on Floyd-Berto?

I'd still buy Mayweather-Berto.

It might not be the most entertaining of the bouts, but it features one of history's great champions. A name even mainstream fans will always remember.

Only the hardcore fans will recall the other fighters a decade from now.

So you go with the flow like a sheep? Not surprised.

Spoken like a REAL and TRUE Boxing Fan, not like one of these simpleminded Haters who claim that they are boxing fans but then only watch certain fighters. I watch any boxing match that is televised, I may not pay for every PPV but once I catch it on regular cable or on youtube then i will watch it no matter who is fighting and how much of a bum people say that this person is or that person is or no matter how much I might dislike certain fighter's styles, attitudes inside or outside the ring.

That is the hallmark of a true boxing fan, anyone who does less or says anything against it is not really a REAL or TRUE Boxing Fan.

So anyone who chooses not to spend their money on watching a fight that they don't believe is worth paying for is not a fan?

Shut up mate - I've been watching boxing for 35 years, so don't tell me I'm not a fan. I just know what I want to spend my money on. If Mayweather is shown free here, I'll watch it, but I'm not handing over money for a fight which is not worthy of PPV.

So let's get this straight...

To be a "REAL or TRUE Boxing Fan" you need purchase a $75 PPV sparring session... because what really matters most to "REAL or TRUE Boxing Fans" is watching boxers who are more famous with the casual fans?
