How do you build a big PPV Star???

[paulf]

You don't.

Stars are born, not made.

It's just like the music industry or anything else. Look at Andre Ward: Olympic gold medalist, had the networks and everyone else behind him, but at the end of the day no one cared about him or wanted to see him fight. Roc Nation lost millions on him.

Meanwhile Broner will probably be able to pack arenas even if he loses a couple more fights.

I dunno, do you guys wanna see me fight some black guy like Spence, or Crawford, or Canelo?

[Manlikefemi]

older people still do. I will for the MAJOR fights because suddenlink in my area for some reason are always have outages with the internet service after midnight randomly.

There are no fighters though. You can't build a PPV Fighter like in the old days where you had 24/7 to help and Linear TV as the platform for mainstream and casuals.

That's finished now, Netflix has changed the game. PPV is a thing of the past once Canelo retires.

That model just dosent work anymore as it requires continued investment of $60-100 and new PPV stars being made

I can agree with that

the best way to do it is to beat an old star.

pacquiao and mayweather didn't really become household names until they fought oscar de la hoya.

evander holyfield was always a big draw, but he became a bonafide star and the highest paid athlete in teh world when he beat mike tyson

1.) find a decent prospect
2.) get him a belt early
3.) get a network to hype him
4.) carefully cherry pick opponents
5.) find a narrative to sell to people
