Man, you've gotta hate money in order to buy this PPV. Like its color makes you sick.

Anyone following the press conference on twitter? They're moving Ivanov/Volkov to the PPV & Chandler/Brooks is for the interim belt.

Rebney: it's remaining on PPV because it's a PPV-worthy card. It's a must-see event. We've gone from utterly spectacular to spectacular.

Brooks: you're a fool if you ask if this is PPV worthy. When u ask this, you're making it sound like you're a cheap ass and devalue fighters

Kinda makes Dana's over the top claims seem mild now.

No, it's fine for PPV, just because it doesn't have UFC stickers all over it doesn't mean anything.

It's a shame, Brooks vs Chandler is a good fight, but now it's over shadowed by the fact that it's a replacement.

that and, you know, the fact that Mike Chandler vs Eddie Alvarez is the only fight Bellator has to offer that would be worth payng to see

Not necessarily. Personally, I thought Michael Chandler vs. Eddie Alvarez III would be the most important fight of the year in MMA or at least second to the Jones/Gustafsson rematch but there's other fights that Bellator could do that are worth paying for.

I think any card with Rampage is worth paying for.

Will watch, rooting for Ill Will. I will even throw $5 on him if the odds are ridiculous which I expect them to be. He is so good to have been only fighting pro for 3 years, his name will ring out someday.

Rampage is a shadow of himself. Rampage and Tito both as a matter of fact.

The PPV's color?

There's nothing wrong with two Afro-Americans main eventing such an historic PPV. It'll either be "The Last King of Murfreesboro" (I couldn't make that name up) or "How Quinton Got His Groove Back".

"The."

Uhhh, I think he means the color of money.  If you didn't like the color of money and wanted to get rid of it, you'd buy this PPV.

Personally I don't think the PPV is that bad. I've seen worse from the UFC.
