Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz vs. Charles Martin Tops Fox Sports Pay-Per-View, January 1

I hate to say this but after FOX had a dismal PPV with Andy and Chris then they come back with this one....they must see something positive that we don't see. I can't see them doing this again unless there were some benefits. I hope this isn't true but this may be the start of more 40 dollar fights. SMH

Pay Per View Is A Tool -- Showtime Espinoza

Writer needs a better editor, it says main event of ppv when this is clearly the main event of the pre ppv event on fox sports 1. Or the opening fight of the main event, maybe this will be headlined by Spence vs thurman with Ugas in the comain and then ennis in the 2nd fight, hopefully vs a top 10 fighter.

Maybe they just rounded off Martins and Ortiz age and got 40 and decided on that price point just for this fight ?

Al Haymon is almost out of that venture capital money and needs to pay his fighters to fight and investors back on their investment....this is the only way for him to go.

He knows that this fight is not PPV worthy.

The fox part of pbc has put out a lot of uninteresting boxing cards this year (the showtime schedule is great).

If a fight between ortiz vs martin, a senior citizen who isnt a draw and an underwhelming fringe contender requires to be on PPV, it says a lot about pbc FOX's budget.

It’s good to see Ole’ Ortiz in all his Kongly swagger!…. Whyte & Joshua wanted no part of this dude, and they’ll probably run even further now due to the embarrassment of getting technically clobbered by an even OLDER version of his southpaw skill set…… I’d like to see The Cheatin’ Gypsy Queen test his skills against King Kong - minus the holding, laying, grappling, glove flap MMA style he’s adopted in his now so-called healed mental state.

I guess it's PPV because no network was ready to pay for this crap.

There is no price too high to watch the great Charles Martin being a master at his craft!
