I thought the original idea of PBC was to bring boxing back to network television??

....not buying ppv

[Victor valdez]

I'm okay with Thurman vs anyone but why ppv. Let him have a comeback fight, them he should go for a tough opponent to shoe what he has left.

Seems pbc don’t have enough money to pay his fixed salary fr the fight ?

[Dakuwaqa]

Totally okay come back fight. Definitely not PPV worthy.

PPVs should be no more than 3 times a year with the very biggest of names. Fury, AJ, Canelo.

PBC sucks
that's all

[ShoulderRoll]

wow castro - nery! totally unexpected and the best fight on this card. it's good to see santa cruz is not retired. maybe we'll finally see him vs. russell next year.

Castro vs Nery and the return of Leo Santa Cruz.

It's not a bad card. If they price the PPV at $39.99 like they are doing for Luis Ortiz vs Charles Martin that would be decent value for money in my opinion.

What do ads have anything to do with PPV being profitable?
Where does that say in your link?

Networks rarely make money off of PPVs in boxing.
Most of it goes to greedy fighters.

Like Showtime Espinoza said:

“The reality is that pay-per-view is a tool to help fights happen that wouldn’t otherwise happen..."

It's doesn't bro,its a drop in the bucket if they do. It's just PBC diehards trying to justify all these ridiculous fights being thrown on ppv now. Doesn't take a genius to understand that the reason all these below average fights are being put on ppv is because PBC/ Showtime no longer have the budget to pay for these cards/fighters....but you"ll get these promotional cheerleaders try to spin it every which way.

Just coming from the thread about PBC's January 1st ppv extravaganza.

Is PBC insane??

the entire article is about FOX Corp "REVENUE RISE AND AD SALES" in 2021 and they just so happen to list "PPV Boxing" as one of the reason why they had a revenue increase. Of course PPV benefits the fighters too because yes of course they do get more on PPV compared to fighting FOX or Fox Sports. Networks not making money off PPV is a LIE! They can make A LOT off of it if they're Providing their own OTT and/or D2C and their selling Ad Spots within their APPS.
