| ...I kind of want to see the Toney fiasco. Here's my problem: I'm getting the Calderon fight in HD and it may be on at the same time as Toney. Do I DVR the Calderon fight and come one here to look for a UFC link? | |

| Everyone's going to watch the "Tony fiasco." Come on here to look for UFC link near fight time. I usually start out with Justin TV then go from there. | |

| I am watching it for sure. Although I got Randy winning, it'd be hilarious if Toney works him.
Could you imagine the conversation if Toney somehow managed to win by submission? LOL ... Not going to happen, but still funny to think about it.

I talked to an owner, and basically he said he would get boxing events, but they charge way too much. You don't even make your money back with a full house of customers he said. Another example of boxing shooting itself in the foot. | |

| I will be watching Calderon on TV. Hopefully it's not on at the same time as Toney. If it is, I may have to record Calderon on the HD DVR and go and watch Toney on my computer. | |

Another example of boxing shooting itself in the foot. You know how it works right? They charge for the maximum occupancy. So if a bar can hold 350 people, the bar gets charged 350 × the cost of the ppv. Its crazy expensive. What u have to do is find a bar that doesn't have their cable registered to a business. They can get the ppv's for what we get em for. | |

I just remember asking the guy why he didn't get boxing events and that was the reason. I'll have to look around and find a bar like that. Thanks for the advice. | |

| I think Toney is gonna be more prepared then we are all thinking. This could turn out to be a decent fight. MMA and Boxing fans know Toney is the best striker to try MMA, so we know he could get a KO. I think he has been training for longer then 2 months in MMA. It is still gonna be tough as hell to keep Randy from putting him on his back. I am more excited for the rest of the card. Dana did put some great fights on this card to make up for the freak show between two old guys. This is a great card for a boxing fan to watch.
If anyone finds a link be sure to put the link in the fight share forum. I will if I find one. I usually do, but it is always nice to have a few to choose from. | |

That's the one I am most excited to see. I just dont like Penn and their last fight was not the best I have seen. I am pumped to see Toney to be honest. I know he will get his ass kicked but its still exciting to witness. Does that make sense? |

| It depends on your views of MMA, if you're not a fan then I wouldn't bother cause you'll probably just get frustrated with the wrestling aspect. |

I don't see alot of wrestling tonight. Dana put on some good stand up fighters imo because he thought boxing fans would watch. There are gonna be some wars. | |
