    Actually the next PPV star won't be a boxer.

    The sport I love is going the way of the Doe Doe bird here in the US. ***ing sad.

      I still can't agree on that one... Tyson is a PPV icon bro and a american icon which boils over outside of sports... He is pretty much why PPV is PPV till this day... Crawford is barely known to the casual fan, GGG is barely known to the casual Fan... and the guys they fought were barely known to even most hardcore fans. Not to mention people ordered Mcbride vs. Tyson knowing it would be Tyson's last fight. It's not fair to compare them. Not only that but it was there first time headlining PPV's.

        Canelo needed floyd to break a million

        If canelo can't break a million with cotto, then I don't see any other opponent currently around that he could break a million with. Canelo vs thurman, ggg, charo, lara 2, saunders, Eubanks, cotto 2, Brook, bradley, Maidana, etc.. None break a million buys

          I see no PPV star on the horizon. Honestly, I see boxing drifting away from PPV because numbers will be poor. There's no way in hell a Canelo, Joshua, Wilder, Crawford, Ward, etc. sells 1 million+PPV sales. Those days are gone for awhile.

            idk if you know this but Broner broke a viewing record on spike TV his last fight

            against an unknown Ashley Theophane. He is easily one of the most

            recognizable faces in the game and he appeals to the casual fan... Do i think he

            is top 10 P4P Hell noooo. But he appeals to the casual fan the same way Floyd

            appealed to the casual fan. Fans now a days want story lines, and AB gives

            people story lines and he is already controversial so all publicity for him is good

            publicity. and he proved that breaking a record his last fight. Do i think he is a

            best boxer absolutely not but he knows how to put on a show.

              I think Canelo vs. GGG Could come close if not get it.

                  Nope.

                  Undercards don't help much.

                  Been proven.

                  Casuals make up 90% of ppv buys, higher % the bigger the fight.

                  You're lucky if they know both of the main event guys let alone undercarriage guys.

                      Lil'G fans been awfully quiet this month. Best thing they had going to lure away the Brook fiasco was to make fun of Ward vs Brand....

                      other than that, fook em booof. All about Joshua vs Wilder 2017
                      joshua v wilder = hypejob v hypejob. not excited about that one at all.
