Not paying PPV everytime a fighter is meant to fight a halfway decent opponent. That’s bad longterm.
If Charlo is fighting Golovkin or Canelo, with a stacked card like those Golovkin-Gonzalez cards were, sure thing.
The PBC fanboys, I swear want to kill this sport.
Will be buying and I’m proud of it!
This card will deliver what I want which is entertaining, action packed fights with some skills involved!
This is like when Batman’s Bat signal turns on in the sky, all real boxing fans unite and support this card!
Anyone who doesn’t watch this fight simply doesn’t like boxing, simple!
According to some fans here all boxing fans deserve is BS mismatches, unless they willing to pay $75. I refuse to pay for a good card without any PPV stars or fights just because its a good card. That sets a bad precedent.
I say it in every one of these thread, Charlo’s last fight on regular Showtime only got 250k viewers. This will bomb and I will laugh.
The greatest pay per view card of all time. $30 on Showtime PPV.

Let's get back to that.
They charged $24.99 and $34.99 for this card.

Let's get back to those prices and that quality of fights, I bet sales go through the roof.
I make $80k US and my boys and I laugh at this price. Two of us have DAZN and one has ESPN+, but to each their own
Buying this PPV has nothing to do with your interest in boxing and more to do with showing boxingscene.com that you are a baller. That you are one of the highest paid boxingscene posters, Pound 4 Pound, in the Solar System.
I don’t care if you and your wife make a combined $200k a year. Show me that you make good money buy spending $80 bucks on a tv program you have no interest in paying for. This is how you can show me you make good money. Good salary doesn’t mean you make good money. Spending some of that money on things you don’t really want to buy is what would show me you make good money.
It's a fairly deep, PPV worthy card.
On one hand I want to buy it to encourage more of the same.
But on the other hand I don't want to encourage them charging $74.95 for every PPV. That should be reserved only for the most elite fights.
So I'm still on the fence.
For $20 more I watch DAZN for a year. $80 is pretty steep for a pretty good card.
No wonder DAZN are broke when you look at their model from that perspective.
A big Canelo PPV would likely make a similar amount to what DAZN make in yearly boxing subscriptions.
And if you're crying about it you're probably a bum or have no friends.
:dunno:
If I was US based I’d probably buy it. Feels like you’d get your money’s worth with like 5 hours of world level action.
Still no UK tv announced which is sh**. Can’t believe Sky or BT aren’t picking this up.

What's the card and price?
Yes I am that lazy.
Charlo Twins vs Derevyanchenko and Rosario in a Tag-Team Tables Ladders and Chairs match. At least that's what you think it would be with the exaggeration by some posters of how good the card is. Stone Cold Steve Austin will be the guest referee also.

The two-bout Charlo-Derevyanchenko undercard will include two 12-round title fights.
The Philippines’ John Riel Casimero (29-4, 20 KOs) will defend his WBO bantamweight title against Ghana’s Duke Micah (24-0, 19 KOs) in the opening bout of a broadcast that’ll start at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. In the bout immediately preceding Charlo-Derevyanchenko, Brandon Figueroa (20-0-1, 15 KOs), of Weslaco, Texas, is set to defend his WBA world super bantamweight championship versus Las Vegas’ Damien Vasquez (15-1-1, 8 KOs).
Following the aforementioned 30-minute break, Roman (27-3-1, 10 KOs), a former IBF/WBA 122-pound champ from Los Angeles, and Miami’s Payano (21-3, 9 KOs), an ex-WBA bantamweight champ, will meet in a 12-round WBC super bantamweight elimination match. In the Charlo-Rosario co-feature, Mexicans Luis Nery (30-0, 24 KOs) and Aaron Alameda (25-0, 13 KOs) will fight for the vacant WBC 122-pound crown in another 12-rounder.
TL;DR
Jermall-Derevyanchenko
Jermell-Rosario
Casimero-Micah
Figueroa-Vazquez
Roman-Payano
Nery-Alameda
STACKED.
These types of fights wouldn't be PPV back then. To be a PPV headliner vs a little known name you had to be Mike Tyson big, or ODLH big. Other than them, it always took two to make a fight PPV. For a PPV to be successful, it had to be predicted that it would sell great, not predicted that it will likely not do great. This prediction is not based on if boxing fans are rich or broke bums, it's based on the names. You are certainly not guaranteed fireworks with the Charlos.
These are okay names, but not big names. PPV was reserved for big names and names that networks can guarantee fans that there will be fireworks and there will be drama. This is not it. If we go by twitter followers (I don't use twitter but it's apparently a good gauge on popularity) the Charlo's have 50k fans each. By comparison, Terence Crawford, who is not yet a "superstar" and who is not a PPV fighter either, has 185k followers, that's almost twice as much as both Charlo's combined. And Crawford doesn't even get the PPV treatment yet because they know it's gonna probably bomb.
As for the bum part, I'm sure if you get all of our salaries and averaged it out, you'd get the US average of $50k for boxingscene. Which is not poor. It's just that people care about what they spend $80 on. There are better things $80 can buy you, like food for example. And newsflash, this has always been part of the PPV formula: boxing fans will support the fighters they like to watch. That's just how it works. And Charlo's don't have a ton of fans.
I think all of us need to face the reality that boxing doesn't occupy the same part of the American sports landscape that it once did.
20 years ago, these Charlo cards would be HBO or SHO cards and all of us would be excited. The generation before that, I'd watch this kind of card on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon on CBS or ABC.
That era is gone.
While I find the price a bit expensive, I am going to purchase it because I want to see the fights.
All of this, and, in normal times if they could've put this card in an arena full of fans in Houston, it probably wouldn't have been on PPV, but the fighters gotta get paid and to over compensate for putting what would've been a massive Showtime Championship Boxing show on PPV they've stacked the card as much as possible to make it a bit more palatable... It is what it is.
god bless the fact that i can get a damn near 1080 P feed in 30 fps+ . i don't even have cable any more. showtime will be out 0of the business in 5 years maximum. boxing is dead dead dead. especially on "TV." sad but dead.

I think that Charlo double header PPV price is totally fine | BoxingScene Community
