Interesting numbers regarding PPV'S

[-Kev-]

He seems aggressively Puerto Rican to me. Idk that being born in the US changes that. Money Powell IV was born in Germany. Does that make him German?

Depends on German nationality laws and if he meets the criteria to be a German citizen, without looking too much into it, i'll take a wild guess that his parents were living in Germany because one of them was stationed there in the US military. A quick google search says "Children born on or after 1 January 2000 to non-German parents acquire German citizenship at birth if at least one parent: has a permanent residence permit and. has been residing in Germany for at least eight years." Does he meet these criterias? If so, then yes, he's German, if not, then no.


Cotto is Puerto Rican because that's what he says, out of respect to that, since that's what he wants to represent, that's how he's introduced and that's what websites say he is. But technically he's American, because he was born here. It's not like in Germany, if you are a Puerto Rican who was born in the U.S., you don't need any special criteria, you are an American citizen. You are also an American citizen if you were born in PR but that's a different story.

"U.S. Citizenship Through Parents or by Birth. Generally speaking, a person can become a U.S. citizen in one of four ways. First, by being born in the United States or one of its territories. Second, if you were born to parents who are U.S. citizens, then you may be a U.S. citizen yourself."

Miguel Cotto is a US citizen by birth. If he wants to represent PR, which he did all throughout his amateur career and still does til this day, he's free to do that and one has to respect that.

One last thing Eff Pandas...I'm just being highly technical with you to mess with you

But Cotto is American though.

How much were PPVs back in the day though in the US, gotta have some kind of effect. Also the popularity level of boxing in the US would have something to do with it. UK for example boxing is booming, 1.2million +PPVs for Mayweather/Pacquiao, Mayweather/McGregor and Joshua/Klitschko equates to around 9-10% of the possible buyers.

Why is two black guys fighting racist af?

The fact that you labeled them black guys is just racist.

Isn't that how the world works nowadays?

I think they label themselves as black guys.

Not really impressive when you take into account streaming. Sure more homes have access to PPV now but more homes have access to watching the fight for free.

not true, back then we had those black boxes where you could watch ppv free

Great post. I'd give you rep but I'm still at negative 1000 thanks to dehydrator

I love a good post that gives you an interesting persepective. Thanks for sharing.

You are welcome bud, take care.

Just thought It was a neat comparison and kind of shows how big that particular fight was.

What's cool about that number is that you can imagine everyone at the office or wherever talking about the fight, with limited access to the fight they figure out who can possibly order it. Then they the all get together and watch the fight.

yeah the ppv back in the day seemed like events, when I was a kid in the 80s I remember the Tyson fights, boxing was still covered by mainstream media sports shows.

They had no social media or hype reach like today either, no internet.
