Many cry & complain about the pay-per-view situation in boxing, I'm probably the only one who's all for more PPV's....
Cheap-skates will still buy black boxes and watch, or go to their buddy's house who's kickin' down $50 to order the card....
PPV the only time that we're guaranteed a good fight.... when ESPN has 3-4 bouts that pit a nobody vs. a nobody, or a contender vs. a bum, the entire card just stinks...HBO's only competitive fight on WCB this year was Morales-Raheem, which was supposed to be a walk-over but Raheem ruined the party....on every PPV card, there's at least 1 solid bout or highlight-reel KO for me & the fellas to talk about....
Plus, without major corporate sponsorships, PPV is the only way to get the top fighters to fight, because THIS IS HOW PROMOTERS MAKE THEIR $$$$
example: Morales-Pacquaio 1 had 350K buys, at $50 a pop, that's OVER $17 MILLION, with only about $3-4 million going to the main event fighters, that's what I call GREAT BUSINESS!
deal with it children, PPV is the only thing good about boxing these days....Showtime sux, HBO WCB and BAD both suck, and ESPN sux, only the PPV cards those companies put on are worth my hard-earned $
