Comments Thread For: Shane Mosley vs. Sergio Mora on Pay-Per-View: Choice$

[MARKBNLV]

There's a HUGE misconception in boxing that somehow only "good" fights are supposed to make it to PPV. More people need to realize that fights make it to PPV because networks can't afford to pay for a card or they choose to not spend their allotted budget on a card.

That argument is flawed this fight is on ppv because of mexican independence day,drunk mfs all over will buy this just to have fights to watch while they suck down tacos and mole.

So basically everyone agrees its not a PPV level fight card but no one wants HBO or Showtime to waste their budget on this when better fights like Sergio/PWill are looming and those networks could pick that up?

Boxing has some serious problems as we all know.

Unless boxers are willing to fight for less money that's how it's going to work barring an increase of TV budgets (ie more subscribers and ratings to HBO/Showtime due to boxing) or more advertising dollars because of ratings for Friday Night Fights.

If these fights weren't on PPV they wouldn't be broadcast at all. Is that really what boxing fans want?
