    Thurman saying groceries going up in price as are a lot of things is actually an argument for lowering the PPV price, not raising it.

        Sorry, but watching Thurman and Santa Cruz take tune-ups is not a PPV card. This is a basic cable card they're charging 75 bucks for.

        If Thurman doesn't KO Barrios in the first half, he should retire.

        Same goes for Santa Cruz.

          This card is trash. Feed him to Crawford and let him go away. Thought PBC signing most of the fighters would help the sport but nope.

            Exactly.

            With money being tight give us a card like this for a lower, more reasonable cost. Not at the highest price.

              This guy Thurman makes me cringe with his words. He thinks he’s all witty and sht using all these rhetorics.

                This is close to a Tuesday Night Fights level card

                    The networks wouldn't reach his salary demands. So they put it back on him to earn his payday on PPV. Proof again that PBC can't produce superstars.
