I watch KOs on YouTube all the time but I won't pay a dime for it. Is that the same issue with boxing? We get all these non PPV fights doing 800k plus but once you stick a price tag on it, thatz if you dare to, the numbers drop to a 10th. I'm guessing most of these 800k people are fans of KOs and beat downs not really boxing fans.

Sick fights like Crawford vs Postol, Ward vs Kovalev and the can't miss rematch ****** big time on PPV yet Floyd was fighting guys like Guerrero with zero chance of winning and doing 800k plus in PPV. Canelo fought a zombie in Chavez and did like 1m in PPV.

I don't get it. Are there so few boxing fans or are boxing fans just plain broke?

Mayweather is TBE at the boxing game, he knows how to generate interest and PPV buys

True.

My point is the those can't be boxing fans.

Maximum amount of boxing fans won't be more than 150k cuz thatz the amount of people who buys even the most amazing fights.

Mayweather sold because he embraced the heel roll, people wanted to see him lose so they paid up. Im not paying $100 for one decent fight. If they stacked cards like they use to in the 90s. Id pay $60 or so but they can butt a stump with the shit shows they put on now.

If you're searching KOs on YouTube then that probably explains why you didn't appreciate the Ward/Kovalev fights.

PPV's overtime became hit or bust. 1m buys or 100k (or less) buys. I can't help but think a lot of the people who'd normally buy fights got fed up of the cold war between Mayweather-Pacquaio and then you factor in when they were buying Mayweather fights most people didn't enjoy them but were invested into his fights to see him lose and because he was the most famous guy.

I think people got burned out from PPV's unless it's a mega event.

"Sick fights like... Ward kovalev and the can't miss rematch" if that is not appreciative enough for you, I don't know what is.
