Not buying bud/postol is being a fake fan.

How do you propose to do that if boxers want millions and advertisers arent exactly jumping to the pbc model? I'm not paid to work that out but countries like Germany have done really well without PPV. If American tv networks don't cut down boxers big egos, we won't be getting any big fights soon, rather than the one or 2 per fighter per 3 years.

I love boxing but I never buy any fight. I get all the boxing channels on direct tv. They show all the big pfv fights for free on HBO or Showtime a week later including Pacquiao vs Mayweather. It's the same fight a week later. I will always chose to keep $50 or more to see the exact same fight free a week later rather than pay to see it live. I spend almost $100 a month just to watch as much boxing as I can plus movies and other stuff. That is all I am going to spend. I am not poor but I am not rich either.

I think their styles are pretty likely to mesh badly also, they are both top guys and it is probably worth watching once in some kind of way but it is not some sure fire fight that I need to catch first viewing either. What good is being a fan if you can't exercise the judgement that comes from knowledge about the sport.

Shut your faggot ass up, that ain't a ppv fight

Not every good fight should be PPV. Two good fighters, but none of these guys are PPV fighters.

Fights should never be on ppv. These guys aren't even that well known with casuals.

How do you propose to do that if boxers want millions and advertisers arent exactly jumping to the pbc model? They can't demand millions if the money isn't available, and it won't be if people don't buy PPVs.

I bought it, but I buy damn near every fight. I disagree tho. This isn't a PPV fight. So no. People won't buy it, nor should they. This is the type of fight that should happen much more often on boxing.

I'm watching in HD

Won't happen unless it's PPV. Fighters are too greedy these days. PBC days are numbered. Garcia also wants his next fight on PPV.

So you mean to tell me that just because we finally have a fight where two of the best in the division are fighting that we have to pony up 50-60 dollars for it? And neither guy even has a track record of being a big draw? No I'll be fine looming for a stream. Two fights ago Postol was on the off tv portion of the Garcia/Peterson fight. Dude wasn't even the 5th fight. No one was in the arena except me and my girl. He doesn't need to be main eventing a PPV.

If we got Thurman vs Porter on free tv, we can definitely get others. I'm tired of paying for PPVs for just one fight most of the time.

Issue is, we should be aiming to get boxing off of PPV. How do you propose to do that if boxers want millions and advertisers arent exactly jumping to the pbc model?

Arum could have put this fight on regular hbo instead of making Crawford vs Lundy. Greed.

Yeah ... BoxNation.

I ordered it.

I'm buying it 3 times

Didn't buy either. Will buy Kov ward though
