Well PPV is relatively new in boxing. It's like it started back in the 40s, it started with in the mid 70s. But if you think about how long boxing has been around, PPV is actually pretty contemporary. You can't really give it an identity of what it used to be or what it is. Especially like it was mentioned, networks do it to make the money to pay the fighters.

Honestly you can probably count with one hand the PPV worthy fights we've had in the past 5-10 years... I agree thou that they do try put ANYONE at PPV now adays. It's either 2 descent fighters vs each other or a good fighter vs an eh ok fighter. I remember when cards were staked on a PPV event & best of all the main even was 2 guys that everyone actually did want to see go against each other. Now it's kinda predictable. I my self have stopped purchasing them. I go to a bar or freinds for a PPV. Plus most of the fights come out on show, hbo, espn, TV Azteca ect.

Like this Broner vs Maidana card is pretty good, but in now way is it PPV material... Only if your new to watching boxing it might sound like a deal, but that should be a standard Saturday night card on hbo/show IMHO.
