The Real Question: Was This A PPV Fight?

[paulf]

I will give u the angulo fight, but having the 2 best jr kids fighting in the primes of their careers, and the contrasting styles and high stakes, pre fight this was a great matchup.. I can't believe people would complain about this matchup

Lara has no fanbase (not his fault) and Canelo's claim to fame is being good looking and losing to Mayweather. How is this PPV worth? Was Bradley-Alexander PPV worthy? What is high stakes about it? The winner being talked about maybe fighting Cotto?

I am a fan of both fighters, but this was not a PPV bout. They are stretching boxing fans wallets VERY thin and not delivering quality content.

Yeah it was PPv...


It was the best 2 guys in a division, in their primes, with high stakes..

This was a great matchup, and def PPv worthy..

Much better matchup than manny-rios, Floyd-ghost,

Yes, exactly. This was a fight for the fans of the sport. Top 2 fighters at 154 going for the top spot. It was a good fight, and competitive. But, Lara ****ed up big time: way too inconsistent, inactive, and too caught up with the amateur points mindset. He only has himself to blame for the loss. But, props to Nelo for making it a fight. I had it 7-5 for Nelo, but did not think he would pull it off. He is adding some good names to his resume, fighting top fighters with difficult styles, and is gaining confidence. Plus, he is still only 23 years old.

But, the card was pretty entertaining, except for the Mares fight. I've never thought too much of Mares. I didn't see much of a jab from him, so that fight was especially ugly, considering Mares won that fight "boxing."

No it shouldn't have been a ppv.

I would have paid PPv for Alexander-Bradley... That was a great matchup but turned into a dud fight, but on paper, it was a can't miss fight..

I know that fanbases have a huge impact if a fight is on PPv or not, but screw the name fighters, give me great matchups on PPv

Ward-kovolev
Kovolev-Hopkins
Kovolev-Stevenson
Stevenson-ward
Ggg-ward
Roman-Estrada 2
Donaire-lomachenko
Mares-Santa Cruz
Lucas-Maidana

Give me fights like these with a decent undercard, and I got no problem buying a ppv

The way I look at it, if this fight was in my hometown I would have no problem dropping 60 bucks for a ticket, plus parking, beer money etc... So why would I complain about PPv of the same fight
