      Latin Fury PPVs are made when HBO or Showtime don't want to buy Arum's bum ass fights. They're noting to brag about.

        What does vegas make a difference.

        The klitschkos do 60,000+ against anyone, anywhere in Europe

        Haye has averaged 33,000 in his last 6 fights.

          European boxing fans are superior to us..

          We all saw this in the Floyd-Hatton fight where the entire city of Manchester or whatever it was intruded the MGM Grand in Vegas.

                    Exactly, some PPV fight like the Latin Fury series is because no big network would carry it and pay the good money for those fights. So they go to PPV instead of going with a smaller network and get small fees.

                    Look at that Judah/Casamayor card a few years back. A disgraceful PPV card in two guys that didn't do much leading up to those to tune up fights.
