why do "boxing"fans hope"boxing" matches dont do well??

[The Gambler1981]

Berto-Ortiz was a hardcore fan fight...i dont remember paying $50 for it

It was also cheaper and had a much better chance of being a good fight, plus those are guys that need built up.

Hopkins is a finished product at the end of his road ain't no sense investing in him, unless he can cut it on PPV~

boxing fans hope bad fights do poorly b/c if gives promoters, networks, etc incentive to produce more compelling match ups, if fights where one guy is going to clearly beat the other consistently do well, why would that fighter choose to step up his level of competition, and why would the networks make him? they wouldn't and we would keep getting fights with a star vs. a no hoper, simple as that

Yes because of the poor standard of fight on Sky PPV, they have dropped their PPV boxing program

I'm struggling to grasp that also.

The things people get offended about on here is remarkable.

right?

for some reason;


'i wish Hopkins-Dawson wasnt on ppv' is translated to '**** your mother' today

B-Hop makes more than Berto, and Dawson makes more than Ortiz so yea~. You think they didn't have to pay B-Hop a premium to take a risk like this?

You can wish that but it isn't practical, this fight makes sense on PPV. Really the only way it makes sense, because this fight on HBO cause a shit storm.

i would urge you to go to your local mall and ask random people these 2 fighters names.

your an idiot nobody knows them, thats why it wasnt on PPV. Now add Floyd to the mix and you got a 1 million + ppv buys.
