Why has Mosley been on HBO WCB 3 times in a row?

[-Spinal-]

No PPV's for Mosley even though he's fighting name opponents like Mayorga, Margarito and Berto. His last PPV against another name opponent(Miguel Cotto) sold 200k PPV's.


Why doesn't HBO hype Mosley up as a PPV fighter? He has the style to be exciting, he takes on all challenges, and his name isn't the most famous out there but he is well known.


Why are wack fights like Mayweather-Baldomir, Mayweather-Marquez, and Mayweather-Gatti(I'm a Mayweather fan but these did NOT belong in PPV) on PPV but fights like Berto-Mosley, Margarito-Mosley that consists of two big names, not on PPV? Is it the fear of those fights selling 200k again?

Are you sure about that?

What's to complain about mate? The more great boxing I see for free, the better. Dropping money every month for PPV is annoying.

Mosley is overrated as a fighter and as a draw. He has no fans.

[AllEyesOpen]

I guess cause Mosley doesn't bring in ppv $$$. How did his ppv against Vargas do?

[RockStar45]

He's not a PPV draw.

Being on WCB shouldn't be something to be ashamed about. HBO did the right thing by only putting the biggest events on PPV last year.

im pretty sure mosley-cotto did more than 400k buys

The number is closer to 350K. I'm curious where the TS got the "200K" figure from.

[ИATAS]

Do people realize how few fighters are actually big PPV draws in boxing?

Mayweather
Pacquiao
Oscar (retired)
Cotto

And who else exactly??

It takes two to tango for the most part. Put Mosley against a Mayweather or a Pacquiao etc and it will be a great PPV success. Thats true for pretty much anyone in the game right now.

All the other PPV's are really small time, like the latin fury cards, the kelly pavlik vs fabio's, the roy jones' squared circle, the 138 people that buy the Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. fights, etc.

Around there, give or take one K. I think it was 300k.


Please discuss the title/topic of this thread and not the unnecessary details that I added. If I would not have put that one little detail there, which other one would you have nitpicked?
