for all of his popularity and the attention he brought to the sport, floyd did a lot to kill pay per view himself. most of his biggest fights were let downs. de la hoya was just a boring fight, neither guy did a ton and oscar was old. pacquiao had been knocked out cold and was nowhere near the fighter he once was. connor mcgregor had never fought a single round as a pro boxer, and it showed. two of those fights cost people $100 bucks. they'll never buy a ppv again.
boxing is going the way of everything else
you'll pay 10-20 bucks a month to see one company's product, instead of paying your cable provider 175 a month and buying $100 ppvs 2x a year. showtime will have a full platform to stream. 20 bucks. dazn, 10-20 bucks. espn, around 10 bucks and probably 20 if they stop putting on ppv. pbc has a commitment to TV like a bunch of idiots, but they may get a platform in time to stream.
