imo this still dose not justify ppv fair enough m a b is a leagened but is well past his best i know this is second thread but this sort of thing gets me mad because imo it could ruin fighters credibility as all time leagened's

I asked the question a few weeks back how on earth Warren was going to manage and pull this one off for a PPV event, for me he has delivered.

Oh good lord


IS FWANK USING A HIGH PROFILE NAME LIKE BARRERA FOR PPV


thats what sells a PPV



Thats how our economy works, people want to watch this fight, therefore they will pay for it


good lord

I thought this wasnt PPV?

If he could...he would!

I sure bozo the clown is better than TBA or TBC!!

If Khan v Prescott was PPV, Khan v Barrera is of course going to be.

It does suck paying the money for a kid who's still developing, but with a name like Barrera how can you not buy it.

The big question is, how will they justify the next PPV if Khan messes this one up?

Easy, Khan versus Laila Ali!!!

Although I suspect Ali will be too dangerous

Too heavy IMO. Amir would give away far too much weight.

I would like to see Sports Network doing the right thing and saying that people can get a refund if Barrera doesn't even show up. Why wasn't he at the press conference or no video interview saying he will be fighting Barrera. A few people i spoke don't even reckon the fight will take place. We shall see.

What a load of rubbish. Who buys PPV more than a day in advance? You buy it by pressing the green button at the time it starts, you don't need to book in advance any more - that was about 5 years ago. All those people who say "orders haven't been good" before the fight are talking rubbish because no one has any idea until after the fight.

What about refunds for fight tickets then?

Also, not only that but you have to book it on the day of the fight (I think).

Gobbles i was on about tickets.

When contracts are signed that usually means that fights are going to happen..

Not so simple, I think there will be... look at the last debarcle... just get alongside a US show.

Wasn't Barrera going to get a shot at champ Nate Campbell?

Even though Barrera's not mandatory (WBO wouldn't sanction that easy opponent that was lined up for the elim/interim whatever), Campbell still wanted to fight him.

In fact Campbell vacated the WBA title, because he'd rather defend the WBO vs MAB than take on the top guy in the WBA.
