How much is this PPV?

Not that I’m going to buy, ah… =)

The latest pictures I’ve seen of Francois for this promotion do not bode well for the credibility event. Well, nothing does. But they could have at least thrown some footage of Botha-Briggs or something in there. I’m going to bet Francois weighs in at about 265 for this fiasco.

is anyone here buying this fight?

fuck no

There’s a perfectly good Berto-Quintana and Caballero-Yordan show on HBO that night. This show is nothing but a one-up of the Seniors Tour fight Vegas is hosting the week before.

I'm shocked

I always imagined that you sat in a Lex Luthor type lair, filled with TV screens playing different, awful fights so we wouldn’t have to watch them.

If there was nothing else on this night, the fact that I probably would have paid $30 for Holyfield-Botha just to describe it properly really scares me.

Quite a preview recipe

Take video of Holyfield’s two best shots on Ibragimov, add one still of Botha, mix with low-quality effects and serve.

haha, yeah

You might actually think Evander was remotely in the fight against Ibragimov after seeing this.

At least they didn't go the Mercer-Sylvia promo route

With the two guys sort of punching a heavy bag and talking “trash”

Nice reference

As I recall, that promo was filmed in a shed.

I prefer to think of it as a manger

this is just wrong…
