Just like I don't watch basketball games where the clippers and the jazz play, why would I pay a premium to watch a shitload of fighters I couldn't care less about? know what I mean?

The cash isn't the problem. I don't have a problem paying, it's the principal. For one thing I think the PPVs should be cheaper. I get them in HD and that's 10.00 more. But not everyone can afford those prices. That's the problem. I think they should be either cheaper or further apart and garner huge cards.

I wouldn't watch those two teams play for FREE. So it seems sillly to pay for a card I don't care about in the off chance they fuck up and make a good fight out of it.

$10 more for HD? That's rough. I'm just getting my RCN digital cable installed on Monday, so I'll be able to order these PPVs finally. I haven't seen any UFC in HD, but I've heard them claiming it to be HD during the broadcast.

I just watch them for free at a local private lounge, or fork over $5 to watch it in the sportsbar as a last resort.

This PPV certainly isn't one worth shelling out the money. The only way I'd be ordering it is if all my friends suddenly died one night and I had no where else to go, anyway.

I love the HD. THe production value of the PPVs are top notch and they are great. I have a 65 inch mitsu rear projection I just moved into my bedrrom and a 60 inch LCD for the living room. Those fights on LCD HDTV are jusg unreal. It totally takes you in.

But yea 10 bucks more. I've never seen any show that charged more for what's now considered normal for every major broadcaster.

Hell even CNN is HD now

Sorry but if Rashad vs James is the main event ill just rather pass on watching it all together and just pick the fights i want to see later on.

Rashad as a main event is garbage.

How in the fuck can they put Sugar Rashad on the main event before Werdum vs Brandon.

I am sorry but that fight will be a barn burner. Vera has something to prove, and Werdum has something to prove, and both no its for the title shot.

Rashad is just boring, that Salmon fight was boring until that kick, his fight with Bisping, he just wanted to lay on bisping, Bisping imo made the fight some what good to watch.

His only fight that wasn't bad was his beating of Lambert.

Although if James does knock out Rashad that would be worth paying 50 dollars to see. I can't stand Rashad.

my thoughts exactly, these ppv are always worth getting together w/ my buddies & having some drinks and having some fun. And more times than not i catch some awesome fights.

Yeah, and I think we've all realized by now that, as decent a human being as Salmon appears to be, that KO from Rashad wasn't anything to be really proud of.

I hope James pulls a Terry Martin-esque flying knee on him and lays him the fuck out.

I have a Sony LCD and a Toshiba LCD. I love watching the fights in HD on either one of these. I buy all the PPV's...except Yamma. It cost $75-$80 to put gas in my truck, so 50 for a ppv isnt so bad.

Yea me and my roomate got the Samsung 64'' rear projection in the living room and a 42'' LCD in my room, and the HD deffinatly looks better on the LCD. We watch them all for free in HD cuz we got the american satelittes lol, cost me $200 and i watch every PPV and never have to pay a cable bill lol gotta love it
