Its fuckin Erik Morales! he can lose his last 100 fights, who would give a damn? people will stop watching Erik Morales when Erik Morales becomes BORING. Tell me when that happens.
Oh and I forgot to mention, Boxing doesnt expect you to order that.. thus why its on HBO lol.
Which is my fuckin point, this was a great card.. its on HBO, they were plugging the worlds crappiest boxing card feauting Steve Forbes (im a fan but a contender boxer on PPV?) and Barrios vs JM Marquez as a PPV?!? wtf is that about.
Do you hear the place exploding? David Diaz is the hometown boxer, yet Morales gets the cheers cuz hes the fuckin man! Pacman Knocking you out back to back isnt gonna make people stop watching him.

Tell me when that happens. | but still, his last couple of fights havent done all that well, the numbers for those have been modest at best, and I expect this fight not to do nearly as well in the numbers

Tonight's PPV won't have any numbers because the FOTY (so far) was happening on Showtime at the same time in the Marquez/Vasquez rematch. It's as simple as that. Really, the only people that were gonna buy the Morales PPV are hardcore Morales fans and uber hardcore Diaz fans (not many, he's unknown), and that's because Morales is who he is: exciting, gutsy, and a hands-down living legend.

Yeah, I heard it was pretty bad, I won't say anything here, but its a shame that had to happen.
Afro, you absolutely have to get your hands on the Rafa/Izzy rematch, that was one of the greatest fights I've ever seen that wasn't on either Youtube or ESPN Classic. Matter of fact, it stands up to any of those fights and it really is the hands down FOTY of the year so far. Round 3 is easily the ROTY so far as well. But like I said, I won't say anything else about it here.  :grinsmile26:
