    My point is that we should WANT the sport to have at least a couple major PPV stars because it helps the sport as a whole. If you got better heirs than Broner and Canelo, please state them...meaning state fighters who draw more viewers than these two guys (except May and Pac) because that's all that matters for the sake of this discussion.

    so how are you gonna push them to do well again?

    if they're going to be ppv stars they will have to earn that in the ring first and foremost and not because you think they have charisma/personality.

    that part is beyond the control of fans so for you to say that fans should push them to do well is ******ed...do you understand?

      **** that, I want the real getting their chances, not the frauds who sell. If Alvarez and Broner are real, they'll prove it. Right now they are frauds who sell.

        Nah, I sort of get it and in a twisted weird way it's how things work already but I couldn't really root for a fighter just because he's popular.

        However, popular boxers, major draws are of great help to their opposition. They're catalysts because whoever they're facing gets a level of exposure they wouldn't obtain otherwise and that in essence is good for boxing because that guy that fights Canelo or Broner or Mayweather or Cotto might have just gained some fans from the neutral pool. The downside is that some exploit this by overrating them and asking for more money.

        But if you don't have these guys that bring in more casual fans then no one gets more exposure. I'd much rather have the cake and eat it too though, as in an elite boxer that is also a huge draw and not some pampered fraud that'll crash and burn at the first gatekeeper.

        Personally I think Thurman has a good chance at becoming a draw soon.

            Thread is ******. Why can't we push for other stars minus ppv stars?? Why should I want to pay ppv money to watch them fight??

                More stars in the sport of boxing means more opportunities for the sport to thrive which is good for us as fans.

                  Why? When Boxing is backed into a corner it always produces new stars. Sometimes out of no where. Sometimes out of mismatches. That's just how it works.

                    Instead how bout a part of all of us in boxing hope that the most deserving fighters do well and succeed and get all the perks and stardom that sometimes go to fighters who don't necesseraly deserve it as much.
