Totally disagree. It was a fight that wasnt possible without ppv, as HBO didnt have the budget space for it. So it either goes to ppv, or it doesnt happen at all. Therefore PPV was the perfect vehicle for it, as it gave the choice to people to buy it if they felt it was worth it (as I did), or to pass (or find a stream) if they felt is wasnt worth it (as many other people did).
In addition, it gives K2 a true baseline of what GGG currently can draw on his own, which will certainly help them going forward.
The obvious downside is that since it didnt meet even K2's target of 200k, it can be used by Cotto or Canelo as a reason to hammer GGG at the negotiating table, or duck him alltogether.......
