Many of us have watched PPV fights in the past, I'm just curious how many times have you actually left feeling like you got your money's worth? So many people used to watch Mike Tyson on PPV and been completely dissatisfied because of waiting three hours watching under card fights to only see the fight finish in the first round or in controversy. What boxers are you willing to shell out money to watch on ppv?

Cruiserweights - what the heavyweight division would be if the heavyweight division didn't really really really suck.

I don't feel like any fight is worth $50. But, I have been very pleased with the last three I ordered. Mayweather-Hatton, Pacquaio-Marquez II, and Pavlik-Taylor II.

I don't really remeber what fights were PPV or not. Barrara morales fights were good. I liked watching Lewis Tyson. I really enjoyed Rahman knocking out lewis. Don't know if that was PPV.
I have yet to get my money out of any PBF fight. Except maybe castillo and I don't remeber if that was PPV.
Trinindad had a few as already mentioned.
Eww Eww I know. Barrara beating the sht out of Prince Naseem Hamed

I wasn't dissapointed with the following PPV fights:
-Morales/Pac I
-Mayweather/Hatton
-Cotto/Judah(Was that a PPV?)
Not too many are worthy fifty bucks IMO...

Trinidad vs Vargas- Joppy & Mayorga. De La Hoya vs Quartey-Mosley & Vargas. Morales vs anybody was a good money spent. Floyd vs Hatton was a good fight between 2 top undefated fighters in their division's. Taylor vs Pavlik was pretty decent-I don't remember if the Vazques vs Marques fights were PPV or not.
Freitas vs Corrales was good untill Freitas said I got millions in the bank and a whole damn country behind me and if I lose they'll treat me like I won-so I'm out of here. Holifield vs Bowe were damn good fights-that's all I can think of I'm out.

I enjoyed that fight greatly.
Trinidad-vargas was worth MORE than the PPV price. It was worth the flight to Vegas and the hotel room.
I enjoyed both PBF-Gatti and PBF-Hatton greatly.

1) Tito/DLH was a disappointment. Oscar ran for a third of the fight.
2) ALL THREE Pac/Erik fights? Even the last one where Erik just came to get a check?
3) Vazquez/Marquez was PPV for you?

The first meeting between Pacquiao/Morales comes to mind. Not only was an action packed fight but the significance behind it. Barrera had been KO and JMM had barely pulled a draw, against the Pacman. JMM had been knockdown 3 times in the first rd. JMM had priced himself out of a rematch. It was Morales's chance to right the wrong. Pacman, had previously beaten Barrera. Morales had come off a lost against Barrera. A win against the Pacman, would catapalt him to the upper ashalon of the featherweight division and gain noriety among his Mexican countrymen. The fight was fast and furious. Morales stuck to his game plan. He put up a boxing clinic and opened a cut on Pacman's right eye. It was in the 5th rd, that blood began to trickle down Pacquiao's face. The blood kept trickling Pacquiao's face, that the ring doctor had to be summoned. At any rate, Morales won by a UD. It was without a doubt, one of the biggest wins of Morales's boxing carreer. The fight setup a trilogy, that will be remembered by many boxing fans, for years to come.
