Tua, Mesi, Greenberg and Jeremy Williams on the same card!

[Action]

What a great day for boxing fans. If its true a heavyweight event in Utah will have David Tua versus Saul Montana....Joe Mesi versus Sherman Williams, Jeremy Williams versus Gary Gomez and Roman Greenberg still to be named on PPV for $24.95.
These are the kind of shows that will compete with the UFC and the kind that boxing needs to raise its profile.

Heaven forbid any of them would fight each other, I thought Jeremy Williams was gonna fight at cruiserweight?

maybe worth watching (definetely not worth paying for, either way) if Tua were fighting Mesi.

[ryanty22]

i thought sam peters retired jeremy williams with that brutal K.O. a couple yrs ago. i am excited about seeing mesi and sherman williams i say mesi puts the carribean tank down in about 7 rds

[hacim419]

Williams and Gomez are cruisers

Thanks never heard of Gomez, but judging by the rest of the opposition I bet he's incredible.:lol:

[Heavyrighthand]

I guess Jeremy Williams has decided to get away from MMA and get back in boxing. This should be a good fight card, but I don't think I'd pay $25 to see it. I would like to see Tua and Mesi, though.

Who the fuck is Roman Greenberg ? Williams has did nothing but make people think he was dead when Peter put him too sleep. Tua hasnt did anything meaningful in nearly 5 years and Joe Mesi continues to fight noboddies and looks bad doing so. WTF is so great about a couple of gatekeepers at best fighting ?

[Boyd]

yeah great, a bunch of unranked guys fighting and we have to pay for it. just what boxing needs.

[marting]

This is a show that competes with the UFC? Man the UFC must be worse off than I thought.

I thought Jeremy Williams was still unconscious.

The most popular fighter in UFC history was and is Randy Couture. He has been knocked out in two of his last three fights....who gives a f*#k? It is called fighting. So what if Jeremy Williams got ko'd by Peter. If he can fight for a few rounds who cares if he gets knocked out?! What has boxing turned into a dance between pussies? Go back to your 112 lb. jockey fights. I want to see the big guys beat each other down.

And people think that's gonna compete with MMA shows you don't hafta pay extra for!!!:patsch

This show is a decent FNF or Versus card. PPV? You gotta be shittin' me!:fire

[TamaTonga]

good card but pay per view aww come on,ill be in utah see my boy tua

[Shpion]

maybe worth watching (definetely not worth paying for, either way) if Tua were fighting Mesi.

Yeah, Tua vs. Mesi would have been nice, otherwise meaningless fights for the HW picture along with bad choice of opponents for each fighter except for the TBA of course. This cards belongs to FNF but by no means this worth to be a PPV event, even at 24.95.

[RUSKULL]

These guys should be fighting each other if they're serious about making any noise in the division. None of these tomato cans that anyof them are fighting interests me even a little bit. I'd watch it for free on ESPN or BDSSP but PPV? Are you kidding me? I work too hard for my money...,..,.,...

[El Bombasto]

Sounds craptacular

[...]

go see my thread fools....

[Heavyrighthand]

Maybe after this, Tua and Mesi will progress to a real opponent from the top 50.

[thesandman]

Tua v Mesi wouldn't be good IMO.

It would be 10 or 12 rounds of cringing every time Tua hit Mesi, wondering if his brain was going to explode again.

FNF....ESPN....or Versus would not pay the fee necessary to get all of these guys on one show. They may pay for one of the boxers but not all.
To see all of them requires someone to pay and that someone is...... the fans.

If they fought each other, the above networks may have picked it up and pay them all, moreover, the PPV status may have been right. However, they are fighting nobody's, thus, there is no justification for the PPV.

[0-1]

The thing that everyone goes on about being great in MMA is the top fighters fighting each other. Being on the same card is not the same!
I agree, Tua-Mesi would be scary, but how about Tua-Greenberg?

Tua would knock Greenberg out cold, even at this stage of his career. Greenberg is a KO waiting to happen, and Tua would MAKE it happen. :nod

Who the fuck in their right mind would pay to watch these bums fight ?????

[Action]

1) My guess is that this event will be shown around the world with international boxers such as Tua (New Zealand, Australia and South Pacific) Greenberg (Russia, Middles East and England) Montana (Mexico) Mesi (United States and Canada) and the replays on the various sports networks will probably give them far more exposure that ESPN2 or Versus.
2) Where else are you going to see these fights on one card? ESPN2 or Versus might pay for one but not all.

[Seamus]

I remember when Saul Montana was a blown up middleweight fighting at light heavy. Good to see he's gone places.

[Marciano Frazier]

That's a good card, but not really worth pay-per-view. Although I never buy pay-per-views anyway.

[dagame328]

If Jeremy Williams has anything left, he'll do some damage as a cruiser

" ESPN used to pay 50 to 70 thousand and Top Rank was the Big Daddy..Then USA jumped in the game and offered 35 to 50...USA hired a woman programer and Network Chief..She hated the image and made USA into the pablum Network..ESPN dropped their support by thousands and Top Rank said bye bye..Now the ESPN2 channel pays 25 K and if the main event is listed in 2 World Organizations they pay 30K...Wow BIG BUCKS..now you know why the big boys think twice about fighting on an ESPN card.. The Main and CO-Main comes out of the 25 and the promoter has to pay for the Hall,TV Lights,Security,Commission, Ambulance, Insurance .Fighter rooms and travel and meals...Now you know why any promoter thinks twice about doing the fights. The line forms on the right for any of you that want to be a promoter! You can't blame these guys for rolling the dice and trying to get enough buys to exceed the 25 or 30K given to them by the big spenders at ESPN2..."

[Asterion]

Cool, a fat past his prime slow slugger against a journeyman, a nearly brain-damaged white hype against a tomato can, a never-was against a bum, and a feather-fisted boring prospect against the almight and dangerous To Be Announced: yes, great card.

:yep :yep

Wow 4 losers on 1 card. Who gives a fuck.

Man you are plain stoopid! 147-8-1 (with 120 knockouts) is their combined record. I have never seen more firepower on one card before.
