Mexican boxing fans make the boxing world go round. They will buy anything with Mexican fighters. So Arum will keep making these bull**** PPV's knowing that fanbase will continue to buy them. -
I highly doubt mexicans are shelling out $50 to watch a boxing match, unless a mexican legend is fighting.Comment

If I'm not mistaken, Mexico hates JCC Jr so I doubt this will draw very much attention. And if it does, its only because Barrera is on the card.Comment

PPV is always gonna be around because HBO, Showtime, ESPN2, and FSN etc., combined aren't capable of carrying the entire sport. With a limited number of television dates, most promoters have no choice other than to put fights on PPV to keep their stable of fighters active.
Marquez-Diaz II is on PPV likely due to HBO's "budget issues." According to Dan Rafael, they will only have two commenators that night and won't replace Lennox Lewis until next year.
Chavez Jr.-Duddy is a PPV because there's a market for it, and likely more profitable for Top Rank going that route since according to Todd Duboef Jr's PPVs bring in a decent profit.
Should either fight really be on PPV? Probably not. But it's not like the promoters have the opportunity to put the fights on network tv or some other alternative that makes sense for all around.Comment
