    would there be great fights if boxers fought for free?

        ideally i think a boxer who is black or mexican would usually get more ppv support due to them being the population majority

          Everything in boxing is done to make money. From record breaking fights to the next can Wilder fights. It's all down to the best risk/reward fight by fight.

            How are Mexicans and Blacks the population majority in the US?

              Who cares? Surely you should only care about a good fight?

              When i last fought on PPV the numbers were under 400K and you went off the scale. Seriously people, calm yourselves.

              PS thank you for your kind messages again, we've re-opened the drop-in centre and a collection box for Dusty is now with reception, we'll be holding a memorial service (not the funeral) a week on Friday, everyone who knew him is welcome.
              This is a business and ppv sales,are a part of this business..If you love the sport,like you claim..Love all parts of it,and learn all parts of it..

                Think it just goes back to the Floyd and Manny fanboys arguing over the split in the fight that never happened.

                    As boxing has trended more toward biggest fights being on ppv, ppv sales have become a more important discussion topic, especially for those who like to talk about all aspects of the sport.

                      those who do care enjoy and understand boxing.
                      I don't think this is true. There is very little discussion of PPV numbers outside of Pacquiao and Mayweather fights. This suggests that it's not really about the PPV numbers, it's just another manifestation of the fanboy nonsense that pollutes every discussion on boxing forums.
