I like the idea. For how talented they are, neither would draw great ppv numbers. But, putting a heavy weight title fight on live TV is awsome.

I love this, this is the kind of main event I was hoping for on Fox. These aren't "Fight Nights" on Spike anymore boys...

What??? That PPV was gonna draw numbers without a doubt because Cain has fans and also plenty of haters. Besides; I been toting Cigano as the true HW Champ for about 2 years now....The guy has the tools to own the division.

Knock on wood.

Why would anyone expect anything different? You are gonna go network TV and want to draw the masses, nothing works better than a HW title fight...doesn't matter who the fighters are, doesn't matter if the fans are into MMA or just flipping channels...."HW Title" is what brings em in...

It's just like boxing in that regard....in boxing, HWs are almost never the best boxers, rarely the most exciting and yet, the HW title fights get so much attention...even now, with the exception of Pac and his next victim, no boxers other than the Klitchkos get much attention....not because the Klitchkos are all that good, but simply because they hold the HW titles...

Seriously, I hope people stop crying about ppvs. This is going to be a great fight for FREE.

I could be wrong, but i didn't see them bringing in anyone except the diehard fans. Maybe 350,000-400,000 buys.
