    This is why the sheik owns the sport now. He has Crawford Canelo for a $10 Netflix subscription. PBC is doing a frickin Prime PPV for a non title fight with a card full of guys that only hardcore fans know. Brilliant. This better be a $10 PPV. If they try to charge $50 or something it will tank hard.

      Why wasn't this fight added to the Tank VS Paul card?

        The two fights are good, but not PPV material yet.

        Got me thinking it could be a great matchup like a JMM-Baby Bull Diaz

          Roach vs Pitbull and Lara vs Janibek are a decent doubleheader.

          I wouldn’t mind paying for it if the PPV was like $39.99

          But I’m sure PBC is going to charge Floyd Mayweather pay per view prices like they always do. Ignoring how it took Floyd years to work his way up to being able to command an $80 price point.

            My thinking is Cruz will start feeling the punishment in mid rounds and either corner stoppage or ref saves him
            Current Lara is more exciting than prime Lara because he doesn't move as much and stands his ground more which equates to better punching leverage and makes his fights more exciting. Still has all the skills. Should be a great fight.

            I think the Roach-Cruz fight will go the distance. Cruz presents such a small target due to his stature and high guard. Keeps his chin tucked, too. And Roach has power, but not devastating power. I think Roach will cruise to a win over Cruz. Much like Valenzuela did, but I think Roach will stand his ground more than Jose did.

              If this card isn't standard Prime fare, I don't know what is.

                For sure - I guess I assume it will be at least $65+ so I don't think the card is there yet.

                But at a different price, then maybe yeah - the fights are cool to me.

                And just because I mentioned it, I went back to check if Marquez-Juan Diaz was a PPV - the first fight wasn't, but the rematch was.

                $49.95 from what I can find. I remembering ordering this one..

                  Totally in agreement about Lara
                  Roach imo gets the ko vs Cruz
                  Devastating body blows leading to big power shots in mid rounds
                  He breaks him down and like I said before , either the ref or the corner will stop it
