These fights including Wilder fight is not PPV caliber.

Looking at Hurd record Charlo next opponent is going to be Lara.

Undercard is pretty weak but I guess they figure people only really buy PPV's for the main event anyway.

Every PPV should have a co-main event that's good enough to carry a network show as the main event. It's great to see the specific fighters, Wilder, Ortiz, Hurd are major. Fury is a legit opponent, and it's exciting to see Joyce, But the rest of the opponents in the other corner are lacking immensely, and it seems that PBC/Showtime missed an opportunity to put together a great card. Maybe PBC/Showtime think Wilder, Fury, and the rest of the names will intrigue enough people to purchase the PPV. I'm pretty sure they are shooting for 300K and above. Anything under 300k is not necessarily a failure, but it's also not a success. 300k is the sweet spot. I thought with a respectable card, the PPV would clear 300k easy, I even thought possibly 500k, but this card is probably not enough to get there.

It needs to help sell me on it or at least try

Pay for the main event , as 65 dollars is worth seeing a 6ft 9 giant hit the canvas. Then you can stream the preliminary fights so you won’t feel cheated out of your money...............you are welcome

Call me a casual, but I don’t mind these stay busy fights for Ortiz, Joyce, and Hurd. Their KO wins will ignite social media to build the ppv buys.

I’ll be in the arena and it looks like plenty of time to drink and piss.

You gonna be entertained in that case, that's all that matters when you pay for the ticket.

Quite possibly the lamest undercard for a PPV I have seen in a while. They know you're buying for the main event because the undercard is one showcase fight after another.

Lame showcase undercard mismatches...and a Pot-head vs a Pillow-fisted Fat Coke-head who has the most dull boring Hw style since Wlad K......will pass!

Americans are charged silly money, it will be around £19.99 over in the UK.

I remember when Don King used to actually put on decent undercards for Heavyweight title fights. Two tune up fights and a prospect. Definitely nothing to write home about here.
