    What will be a good number for this card though, like 650k maybe?

      Since when has "quality of the fight" ever determined if its a PPV or not? PPVs are determined by 1 thing, money. That's why fights like Floyd-Ortiz and Floyd-Guerrero were PPV

        Both those Floyd fight weren't PPv worthy and I have posts saying that. If you want to look at it as an accountant then perhaps yes cause you can still sell Manny doing anything while Manny is still have sheep following. As a boxing fan I only pay for fights that mean something.

          As a boxing fan I wouldn't want any PPVs at all, who the hell wants to pay $75 for a fight that could literally last 20 seconds?

          But against PPVs aren't determined by boxing fans. They are determined by money. PPVs are bad for the sport, they limit how many people actually watch the fights but make exponentially more money them any other method

                  No it's not PPV worthy. Mayweather vs Guerrero is/was.
