    Tyson Fury & Anthony Joshua would be perfect for a WWE appearance. Hell man I suspect Vince McMahon could get more PPV's purchased for a fake WWE fight between those two guys than Hearn &/or Warren could get for a real fight between them. Vince McMahon knows how to sell on a whole other level to anyone in boxing.

      The fact that he took a calculated gamble (which is paying off now) in getting the **** off PPV and putting his shows on his network shows thinking beyond anyone in boxing and UFC. He knows PPV is dead now. WWE Network made a massive loss upon launch and needed 1 mil subscribers in its first year to break even. The number fell short but now I think they have 1.4 million.

      Vince has outthought and outlasted these outdated promoters who still think PPV is a viable option

        Agree with the post. Joshua, Fury, Wilder, a few others. It was funny af when Mayweather did it

        but Roman Gonzalez has the personality of a piece of frog ****

        "lil drama show" could never make it in WWE he has the body of a premature six year old

              What makes you think PPV is dead? Boxing just had its biggest PPV in history a year & a half ago. The UFC just had its biggest PPV year. And I think 2015 was their biggest year before that. I don't follow the WWE, but I can't imagine they aren't making money on PPV these days even if they aren't at all time high numbers like boxing & the UFC have gotten to just recently.

              I wish PPV was dead & I'm rooting for it to die, but I believe we got quite awhile to go before this model gets played out & maybe it never does.

                Isn't it funny how people pretend that the 4.6 million people who bought May v Pac just went extinct? Yea, boxing has quickly fallen into a slump but those people who bought that fight are still there and will support boxing if given attractive fights and well marketed personalities. Boxing got so used to these million buy ppvs that May and Pac were collecting that the match making got greedy.

                  100%.

                  You put two top guys with a name together at a future date with a $60-$80 price tag on it & people will see that PPV is clearly not dead.

                  If anything the problem is boxing needs some of these guys to build up their names more since no one really got the Floyd & Manny rub like Floyd & Manny got the ODLH rub to become what they became. Also arguably there is a power play taking place with PBC trying to throw more solid to good fights on free TV that is at direct competition with the subscriber & later PPV model that boxing has been running on since HBO came on the scene in the 70's.

                    It would be a good idea, if wrestling was still relevant to the mainstream.

                    Ratings have been declining for years - a few more and they'll be considered "in the toilet". There was a time when exposure on WWE programming would be beneficial (when RAW could draw a 6.0 rating / 8.0 peak). Now, Vinnie Mac is looking at 2.0's and wondering which of his children he needs to push (again) to pull the plane up from a nosedive.
