Comments Thread For: Thurman Makes Case For Pay-Per-View: No Sport Like Boxing, Every Punch To The Head Is A Mild Concussion!

Thurman vs Barrios is on PPV,not because of his "star" power but because PBC can longer afford to pay thier A-list fighters otherwise, so lets not kid ourselves Keith.

Has Thurman had to accept a ppv % over a guarantee? This would explain how this fight has landed on ppv. The numbers will prove to Thurman he isn't ppv material anymore.

Always had huge respect for Keith. Especially the person. The fighter not so much nowadays. He has some nerve with this being PPV though, that’s for sure.

Looks like my warning of banning you again shook you up Roofman94. Look at you, trying to be every ones friend now, taking down my name from your profile, days after I checked you. Dont ever disrespect me again or use my name for clout. Now get back on that Roof!

You sausage. You couldn’t knock sugar of a doughnut. I changed my details as the family dog died. Silly little man you are. Hope your safe in that socially assisted flat you stay at in Birmingham.

I dunno it wasn't a rumour circulated too widely. I think it was more to do with him ouright refusing to eat what his nutritionist served. He insisted on pizza topped with lasagne, until they got his ma round to threaten him with certain house rules/priviledges... Anyway, if he can make it down to welther heathlerly, I could see him really giving Porter a run for his money

Daaamnnn....his momma must not fuch around,like my ma. I remember my momma almost made me drown in my bowl of cereal milk a few times until I drank it all. Said there was kids in Sudan who would kill for the opportunity to drown in a bowl of captain crunch....I believed her.

I would think all thier fighters being thrown on ppv are being guaranteed smaller purses with higher ppv percentages but that's just an opinion and you what they say about opinions...

Seems likely though, doesn't it? Seems like an appropriate way of negotiating with fighters that think they're ppv worthy; no guarantees, you get paid according to sales!

There’s a risk for that in any combat sport. Should amateur fights be on PPV according to Thurman?

[DaNeutral.]

Keef knows this isn't PPV worthy and won't sell very many so he is pitching a sob story to hope ppl put down the illegal streams and pick it up the legal way. I've seen a few of these pre PPV plea's from the PBC cards.

Unfortunately Keef its not just cuz ppl are criminal these days its because the PPV's are crap. The Big fights and big nights still garner real attention, but this just isn't one of those nights.

Like Showtime Espinoza stated, at the risk of playing a broken record,
certain fights won't happen if they're not on PPV. Pay Per View is a tool.
That's what Stephen said. Problem is, it's not only about "certain" fights.
Many fights will be on PPV hence.
