The current status quo is a big headliner Floyd / Pac or big domestic even think UK etc.
With the current pricing of a PPV $40-$70 depending on country, what are your thoughts about the networks putting on a mid tier pay per view with say 3 very strong fights for $10-$20 in order to boost the purses.
For example, the card next week with Broner Maidana, would people pay $10 for this, similar to the way people pay $1 for a song through itunes but reluctant to pay for a full album?
I am thinking if a network can budget say $2-$3 million to put on a card on free to air, if they had selected $10 pay perviews could this double the budget and give us 3 competitive title fights?
This idea of three draws rather than one big headliner and a joke of a card (ie. top rank pac v rios) could build the less known names and recent title winners (guys like Porter etc).
Could this work and improve our sport?
