    Who headlined the card?

      Fans should buy whatever fights they think are worth the money. I just have no issue if a fan is happy that Crawford vs. Khan flopped, because everybody knew that fight was a joke and had it done well on PPV, there'd be no incentive for the promoter to present something better in the future.
      Yeah the last year of the time but era gave us dope free fights like victor Ortiz vs Devon alexander and Seanie Monaghan vs marcus browne and who can forget the epic 50-50 fight between Robert guerrero and Omar Figueroa or Abner and leo teaming up to take on bums instead of fight each other. The end of the time but era saw pbc put on the cheapest fights possible to fulfill their contracts.

      As for not buying fights that don’t being on ppv, Manny vs Broner and Spence vs garcia weren’t ppv worthy either along with khan Crawford and none of the three turned a profit.

        How many PPVs has Mikey sold without Spence?

          Pacquiao-Broner does 400k buys. Not over. You need to stop lying.

          Spence came out with the Mexican flag colors because he Mexicans bought most of the fights and most of the tickets. We always do and you know that.

          Just wait to Spence-Porter does 200k buys and u will see.
          If Mexicans buy most PPV's & Canelo is the biggest star in boxing then why hasn't he been able to consistently hit the 1 mil mark like Floyd did every time (sans Berto/Gatti)? Floyd hit it with non Mexican fighters like Hatton, Mosely, Maidana, & Cotto.

          And why are all the big non-PPV fights being held in NY instead of LA?

              lmaooooo where are all the big ppv fights? Dude u are clueless. How many fans did Canelo have in a tuneup vs rocky in NY? Do you have any idea how many millions of Mexicans are in NY/NJ/PA? The number of Mexicans back east keeps growing.

              Ppv fights are the biggest fights and why are they mostly in la ny or Vegas area should mostly latino? Get a clue.

              Why is Canelo almost always Vegas or Texas ?

              Why are the two biggest crowds Spence fought in front of were vs a Mexican?

              Floyd hasn’t hit 1 million every time but Gatti or Berto either. Ignorant. He didn’t hit 1 mil vs Judah or in either Maidana fight or Robert Guerrero or baldomir or Ricky Hatton. Stop nut hugging and be unbiased. They hadn’t to inflate Guerrero fight to make it seem like a million the same way golden boy said Canelo khan did 600k buys.

              So let’s see Mayweather vs Gatti, Judah, Berto, Baldomir, Maidana 1, Maidana 2, Hatton and guerrero all were under 1 million buys. Doesn’t sound like a guy who “consistently” was over 1 million buys.

              We speak the truth here while u just stay being biased.








              And if you want to take it further why was Canelo able to 1.3 mil vs a washed Chavez Jr who’s also Mexican????

                And Spence will continue to do numbers on PPV against Crawford, Garcia, Thurman, etc. while Mikey slips into irrelevance. What other welter can he fight and do numbers on PPV? There ain't one. Mikey needed Spence, not the other way around. Mikey took that risk cause he knew it was the only way he'd ever get a ppv payday

                  The top 10 boxing PPV's have all involved black fighters. Only 3 Mexicans were on those cards.

                    contiune to do numbers? Lol okay he did 360k let’s not get carried away. Fighting Porter will do less than vs Mikey. Easily.

                      mike Tyson was a different era. Back then boxing was more popular than now. Remember how many Tyson cards had Chavez and how many floyd cards had canelo or Leo Santa Cruz or Morales to help get more Latino buys ?

                      Floyd was smart though. You saw what happened when he fought berto. That’s why he skipped Devon Alexander Vernon Forrest Cory spinks paul Williams etc when they were in their primes and fought guys like Victor Ortiz and Robert guerrero. He needed that Latino market to sell.

                      Out of Floyd’s top 4 selling ppvs how many were vs black fighters ? That’s right ZERO. They were 2 Mexicans in a Canelo and Oscar, his Filipino rival who was the other ppv king of the era and a white guy who brought in all the ppv buys. How come none of his 2 mil plus ppv sales were vs black fighters? I will wait anxiously for your answer.

                      How do u feel about getting caught lying about Floyd “consistently hitting 1 million ppv buys?”
