    He isn't fighting anyone noteworthy so it shouldn't be PPV. Expect ridiculously low sales

        I agree......

          Doesnt matter if they serve awful cards as PPV, support means sticking it to the other side lol.

          I guarantee you that 95% of casuals dont have the slightest idea who the promoter is, and wouldnt care if you told them. Its only some of the hardcores that get all wrapped up in promotional cheerleading......

            I dont disagree. The last PPV affiliated with PBC (or any other promotion for that matter) was Fury/Wilder III and that's because the main event and undercard were compelling to me.

              It's a meaningless fight and on PPV so it's garbage to me. All the winner gets is another payday, nothing more. Neither guy can beat any of the top guys at this point

                I think the rest of Thurman's career plays out like this. Late 2021 warm up fight, mid 2023 warm up fight, early 2024 warm up fight, summer 2024 retirement fight vs Spence or someone similar. Thurman's inactivity after building up some real momentum one point has really put an end to him at the top level. I get the feeling the fire has gone out of One Time. Nash out.

                  BTW, it was not an opinion, I was right....Barrios is fighting Thurman in January.
