Comments Thread For: Andrade-Nicholson, Ellis-Villa Added To Tank-Garcia Showtime PPV Telecast

What PPV numbers are the rest of 147 down to 135 doing......anyone?

They aren't robbing fans with overpriced fights nobody is asking for, that's good for them. If you like paying for trash bro, that's fine. I'll call out clown shows like this everytime they put them out. PBC has been putting out trash PPVs so they get it more than others. No bias, as when they put one together worth watching if it's close to home I go if it's not I pay for the PPV. With such a stable they should be giving fans fights worth paying for, not these bad match ups, stick this garbage on regular Showtime.

Speedy Ellis on the trajectory to be the poor mans version of Boo Boo Andrade LOL

Anyway, this confirms Tank is off Floyd label.. no Mayweather promotion fighters on his card

[Greenfield02]

I see Andrade continues the Crawford trend of fighting B level competition....

Nah bro, that kid has far too much talent to be ignored. Fan friendly style like Spence and is aligned with a guy who stockpiles talent at 147-154. He just don't got to act a fool like Andrade did early in his career. However I don't expect you to acknowledge such facts with such a clear bias in your posts.

I agree about putting this on regular Showtime, I would rather stick Boots on the Ryan card against someone like Ugas or someone with a name and credibility. I just see a lot of the puffing up on PBC an awful lot on here, when in reality they're actually bringing the PPV back to these other weight classes, and the cream of the division can benefit much more than they are now. Between 147 to 135, Tank is the only one with that type of drawing power at the moment, but now that he can operate without Floyd preventing the fights, the others that are willing to fight him, such as Ryan, Haney, Shakur, Teo, or Loma can only benefit from the exposure, and create drawing power of their own after PPVS against Davis. Spence can do the same for a Crawford, Boots, Ortiz, ot Thurman at 147. But these guys like Loma and Haney will never be those type of draws and continue fighting on regular TV against top opponents while Arum stuffs his pockets, and they never become the household names that they could be, if they don't see the opportunity that's being put in place.

Same ish folks said about Boo Boo.. he has to much talent to be ignored, they will have to fight him blah blah blah.. at least Andrade got paid by robbing that dummy Hearn LOL.

Meanwhile, Speedy fighting off tv and now as a PPV card opener at 28+ years old LOL.. he won’t even be able to reach the heights Boo Boo has SMH

How does less people watching translate to more exposure? Porky has had a few fights on PPV the numbers still awful. Not growing. He needs those names just as much or remain a flop. He's no Floyd, and people like you would be wise to remember that. ESPN+ and Top Rank killing it with quality and crushing ratings.

[Devils Advocate]

shocked but happy that PBC/Showtime are giving Andrade another Chance

would love to see him vs Morrell, Charlo, Plant, Benavidez all those guys

as for Ellis really had my hopes up for him vs Boots but maybe they are building towards that

At 34 Boo Boo won’t be able to get on that bike but is super middleweight too big for Andrade? Hope he’s in-shape and not a plodder.

How do you know ESPN+ is killing it since they don't put out those numbers? Sounds like a whole lotta jealousy for a certain organization and its fighters. But don't worry they don't pay you no mind anyway champchamp!
