I agree i remember Barrera Juarez was a ppv thats just not acceptable,if boxing wants to make it back to where they were we need Championship fights on basic cable,until the sport does that we will be in the likes of hockey when it comes to popularity.

Your sentiment is right.

But you're technically wrong. Yes there can be PPV's when they think that the fans will come and buy during great economic times.

But a lot of times, PPV's are made because they're not even good enough to be on regular HBO. Bob Arum has had a lot of PPV's because HBO wouldn't have it, and he had to generate money from somewhere.

Then there are times when HBO is willing to air a fight but not willing to pay a lot. And thus the promoters make it a PPV so they can pay the fighter. I'm assuming Mosley wants millions and HBO isn't willing to give it to him.

So even if it's 200k ppv's sold, that's some extra money in his pocket.
