Tank’s original opponent and the replacement fight had no business being on PPV much less for $75 on a Sunday night.
Sounds like they were seeing this fight trending towards a low buy rate.
I have little sympathy when Tank and his team straight up come out and say they’re only doing in house fights and then expect people to shell out top dollar for these unknown opponents.
Pbc is great at setting up black fighters with what they sometimes think is a lower level/or smaller Mexican but they can only go to the well so many times until they run into a legit Mexican. And they did this last Sunday.

Almost backfired on them when they found a Mexican that fought back.
I hope it does a low number to send a message to Floyd and PBC. You get what you pay for.
If people are willing to pay a premium for a showcase fight there won’t be any incentive for them to make the fights fans are asking for.
I have a feeling they won’t announce any official numbers for this one.
Who the hell was the genius that decided to put up a PPV boxing fight on a late Sunday night in December?
At that time people are simmering down and getting everything ready for the week ahead.
conman wants you to support his con. oh it takes so much work to get to ppv! translation: it took a lot of cherry picking and careful marketing just so i could rob you blind
I noticed they cut corners last night when it came to commentators they only had that possum face chump that is the worse commentator. He was literally a TMT hype man, if Cruz was the house fighter we would of heard a different tune.
The crowd was bad, sounds stupid but just look at the celebrities that were there compared to Tank’s other fights. Hopefully TMT and PBC stop with the weak Tank PPV’s
Loved Floyd as a fighter but he’s so annoying and whiney as a promoter. The funny thing is all he has is Tank, if he loses badly or dumps Floyd for another promoter he’s done.
Lmao the replies are funny as hell
I’ll pay for it when Floyd can read that entire sentence out loud without stopping :rofl:
I don't know about you guys but I'll never pay for subpar fights. The promoters want to pussyfoot around protecting the fighters and showing no interest in matching the best with the best = easy stream for me
Floyd assumes however that the people streaming, would of bought the fight if they could not get it for free.
I personally watched it on Russian TV for free. Would I pay for it if I could not? OH HELL NO. lol. Who wants to pay for mismatches and paid off judges anyway? I would probably buy some tickets to watch in person if I was local, but no way in hell would I pay to support that in any way.
I get what Mayweather is saying but GIVE us a fight that’s WORTH THE MONEY. Don’t waste our time with this garbage. Tank should be fighting the top 4 fighters. Anything else is trash. Put that shyt on tv for free. I still won’t watch it.
I don't stream fights and won't buy every and any PPV. If you're going to charge me $50-80, it has to be something that is compelling (for me) at that price point.
I didn't get this because it just didn't move the needle. Ironically enough, I think I might get that all HW PPV headlined by Ortiz and Martin for $50. The undercard intrigues me and I'm excited to see old man Luis in against a live body.
Cho ass up, Floyd!
I like you but y’all know damn well Tank had no business on PPV. I didn’t mind buying Floyd’s fights back in the day because the undercards were decent on all of fights aside from 2 that I can remember.
I bought the fight as I always do but it really wasn’t worth what they priced it at. Hell, Ruiz/Arreola was only $50 and the entire card was worth watching. They knew they didn’t give us their best with this card. Should’ve been a special Sunday night edition of Showtime Championship Boxing.
Oh please, Floid ripped off the boxing world and made it soft and sissy like when he ran around the ring like a female.
Maybe these dickhead promoters shouldn't be charging $70-80 dollars of worthless, trash fights with s h i t t y undercards.
The fight wasn’t good enough to be PPV on a Saturday night (and was even worse when it was Rollie).
But regardless who puts a PPV on a Sunday night??? Was never gonna sell well. Dumb decision
F*** off Floyd you’ve robbed the public blind fighting YouTubers, MMA fighters and Japanese children, yet you’re trying to take the moral high ground over PPV.
Please…. F***ing pathetic man.
