Morales-Diaz is PPV?

[IntentionalButt]

:patsch

[psychopath]

:roll: Any update on that? Is it already confirmed?

[IntentionalButt]

well they've already taken out banner advertisements on that News site that's all Fighty and stuff. usually when they start investing ad dollars that means it's pretty much committed.

[the mean machine]

There should be a rule that says that you're not allowed to mainevent a PPV if you have not won a fight in the last two years.

[IntentionalButt]

JCC 2.0 vs. ?



not a terrible card, but $45??

Thats a pretty solid undercard, but the things that are getting PVPd these days are really gettinga bit out fo hand.

i'd almost feel if they packaged it as Torres-Holt and Morales-Diaz were the co-feature it would be more legit. i'm torn...i kind of want to see these fights...but god damn, $45...

[Arthur]

remember there are only two types of fights. FIghts on free tv, or fights coming from streams on the internet. :D

[brooklyn1550]

Good card...I'll buy it

[Circa]

i hope terrible pulls this one up... this is a tough one...

[IntentionalButt]

if this were thirty dollars i'd be down 100%

[Sonny in Dallas]

Count me in. I'll buy it. But do I have to listen to Kellerman?

[Lance_Uppercut]

Should be on regular HBO.

[H .]

:roll: Any update on that? Is it already confirmed?

Yeah, it's official. The press conference was in Chicago on June 12th. Unfortunately, Torres/Holt was not mentioned, and I heard the possibility that they will fight on Sept 1st instead.
Really shouldn't be ppv, but that's okay since I'll be there. :D

[Stinky gloves]

Thats title fight, so why not?

[IntentionalButt]

Count me in. I'll buy it. But do I have to listen to Kellerman?

top rank ppv, so no.

[IntentionalButt]

that's my motto. i've never failed to see a stream of any fight :lol:
i've just never understood how this is a better option unless you have a completely pimp-ass monitor. which i don't - i've got a pretty decent one, and that to me is not worth giving up the crisp cable quality on the big screen.

The purse bid for Torres-Holt was actually won by a Colombian after Arum tried to low-ball it, and Kendall is bugging out that he's going to have to fight in South America for low money.

Still a chance that it could end up on this card, but probably more likely in Florida. The official undercard bouts on the Morales-Diaz card are JuanMa-Castillo, JCC Jr.-Louis Brown :roll:, Donovan George-Shay Mobley, and Michael Walker-TBA.

what about sosa?

[dangerousity]

Morales clear UD.

[Cold Eel]

what about sosa?

I believe that fight is going to take place in Mexico, but the date hasn't been confirmed that I've seen.

[jopez707]

I dont know how much Morales has left, I wonder if he can hurt Diaz. Diaz is not a great fighter, but he seems to be able to take a beating; at this point in his career; he probably has a lot more left than Morales.

[Richel Hersisia]

This card is on the same night as Marquez Vazquez II.

I can't believe there will be many people who will pay 45 dollars to miss Vazquez Marquez, lol.

But there will probably be enough die hard Morales fans who will buy this one.

At least it is a better PPV then Vargas Mayorga.

Till now HBO was doing pretty good. Only 3 PPV's in 6 months, all three were big fights. But the second half of the year looks like last year again.

Morales Diaz
Vargas Mayorga
JMM Barrios

All in 5 weeks time.

Pacquiao Soto will probably be PPV too.

[Danny Ocean]

id pay 45 to see morales ktfo again

I'm not sure that any of those have anything to do with HBO. Morales-Diaz is a Top Rank ppv.

[Boom_Boom]

JCC jr is on the card too,

i want to know why fuck is this guy always on a PPV card, when he hasnt even accomplished anything yet.

because his mom is a starfucker and he actually has a lot of potential.

[BOGART]

I think Torres-Holt would make for a nice match-up, would be nice to see it make the card. Lopez-Castillo is also a good match and a big step up for Lopez. Morales-Diaz should also make for a good fight, very nice style match-up, unfortunately I see Morales getting beat. I'm not sure if I'll order this or not. If Holt-Torres is on the card than that would be 3 nice, but nothing great, type of fights. So with Torres-Holt I might get it, w/o I'd probably have to pass as than I'd be looking at 2 fights and 2 mismatches.

[knockout]

Just $45 bucks:D not bad.

[Boom_Boom]

so do a lot of other prospects out there, but they arent no where near as many ppv cards as he has

Nope, it's HBO PPV. At least that's what they said at the press conference.

[H .]

At least it's official that Edgar Sosa will be on there now. :good

[PolishPummler]

If it were a GBP PPV the:| would be out in full force.
