Okay, I like Sergio and all, he is a great fighter but come onnnnnnnnnnnn! Just because you are a great fighter doesn't mean you are PPV material. Who on Earth does HBO plan on matching Martinez against that would please the fans? This on a current string of PPV's like Cotto/Mayorga, Maidana/Morales, Pac/Mosley, yeah not all great matchups but each one has a fighter with a loyal fanbase so a PPV tag can be somewhat justified. There is no way HBO can expect to have Martinez on HBO and even do a somewhat justifiable number.

Haven't heard anywhere that Sergio's next fight is on PPV (unless it was against Pac or May, which it won't be)...

I really feel that as long as boxing does PPVs it will always hold the sport back. I know 1.3 buys generates a lot of money, but fights on primetime consistently will surely make more, no? Boxing has historically been a sport followed by (and of course i generalize) the urban poor. Don't know how many of those who fit that category are willing to spend 65 bucks to watch a fight. Especially in this economy. I think that a lot of the people that watch football and basketball would not turn off a boxing match if it was on primetime during, say, baseball season. Right now there isn't a high-action sport to challenge the quite often dull baseball.
