Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz vs. Chris Arreola - Fox Sports PPV Officially Announced, May 1

[sicko]

$50 is not bad but still could've been a good Free Fox Event but I get it, PPV is just extra money on top of whatever it is they're guaranteed so fighters are pushing for PPV. Shawn Porter broke this down on how he PUSHED for PPV with Spence and they was indeed going to do it on FOX for Free originally. It comes down to networks, if we want all this stuff for Free then it is going to take a Network to really commit to boxing and offer a HUGE BUDGET and boxing is not popular enough for that to ever happen so MORE PPV's are coming regardless if it is on Triller, Fite TV,Fanmio or whatever

always been a pro pbc guy.....but this being ppv is a head scratcher....hey, haymon is successful in this business...its his call i guess...makes very little sense but whatever

i guess hes just playing on the mexican fanbase here

[_Rexy_]

How are they gonna make this a PPV when both guys are coming off ****ing losses?


Like, it's gonna be an entertaining fight, but is that all it takes to be a ****ing PPV?

He might have a contracted number of annual PPV's to give Fox

Coming off losses doesn't prevent a fight from being on PPV. For example, both Joshua and Wilder can be coming off losses, but that is a PPV fight regardless. But this one right here has no business being on PPV. They could be coming off multiple wins in a row and this is regular FOX fight. Nothing more, nothing less.

And the terrible PBC matches continue. I pass

I would have considered $19.99 because i spend that on a burger & beer at the bar but if it is $49.95? F*** Off! I always liked Arreola & don’t mind Ruiz but not paying $50 because I don’t watch any divisions other than HW. No interest in catch weights & weight drained BS... i would have been happier with a couple other HW fights then maybe they would get my money.

[DaNeutral.]

Lol PPV. Good ole PBC.

For the new WBC Taco Belt
This is one fo those fights that I truly do not care who wins. I am sure we will get the long waited rubber match with Joshua after this if tubby wins ... :eyeroll:

Pretty poor excuse for a PPV main event IMO.
