    Can you make a case that PPV is the only ways this sport is kept slightly honest?

    You've got no formal competition - just various organisations making up the rules as they go in their own self interest.

    PPV numbers show the public's interest. These fights get made because we are prepared to pay for them.

    Joshua and Wilder would be more than happy to keep their respective belts if there wasn't the carrot of a big payday from the pockets of us fans?

        It's no longer a bad decision now and again, it's so consistently bad now that it's not worth the stress and anger watching what's become such a bent ****ing sport. I'm just gonna rewatch the classics, catch up on what I missed in the 50s to 90s. I'll watch the highlights or WBVA some fights, but pay for another PPV? Go **** yourself.
        What took you so long?

        What PPV has been worth purchasing in the last 10 years?

              I will continue to pay for PPV for fights I want to see regardless of the price. Will pay for the fight and enjoy a night of drinks and food with friends. If you don't want pay for PPV fights and instead pay $10 bucks a month for DAZN that's on you. Would much rather spend $70 for a good fight than continue to pay $10 every month for garbage fights and nothing more on DAZN.

                    Boycotting PPV boxing is like boycotting the boxing elite pay and mega fights. Count me out.

                    However, paying $74.99 for Wilder-Fury was crazy.
