Spence vs Crawford is PPV worthy, not this one even if it was good. I caught it on youtube the next day.
    I mean I clearly mentioned that in my original post. It wasn't the best for the fans but it worked out for him and he would have made less had it been on regular FOX.

    You just brought up apps and cable for no reason. No one was talking about that.

      Yes. I've read the research.

      There's something else about how PPV buys are calculated. I'll save that one for later

        “Research”...why don’t you post a link? I’d be curious to see how they collect the info, sample size etc.

          If you're really that curious you'd look for it & not try to use me as your free research analyst. When I want to know information I go find it. This was something I wanted to know so I did the work

It would have done great ratings but even Haymon didn't think it would have done THIS good on PPV. Spence would have been leaving some money on the table if he accepted the original offer to fight on FOX.

              Now, it is clear that majority of his fights from this point on will be on PPV. How do you guys feel about that? And just looking ahead, there is a chance that he fights three times on PPV next year if he gets DSG/Pacquiao/Crawford. Heck, even the Porter rematch if he doesn't get Porter. Not sure who the last fighter was to get three fights on PPV in a year, but definitely hasn't happened much, if at all.
              I am still in shock that Porter was on a successful PPV card!

                Or maybe because I'm busy. I haven't posted since I posted that to you. Have you taken the time to look for it yet?

                  Yeah he got it right but a TON of credit goes to FOX, they're going all in for boxing and they promote the hell out of him and his fights. Him being attached to Jerry Jones and the Cowboys is also an amazing Marketing Ploy as well. They making all the right moves and industry connections to build up his Stardom

                  Some running with the "He Was Exposed" Narrative but to the Casual Sport Fan, they don't see it that way, a fight like that leaves them wanting MORE! More from Spence Jr but also more for Shawn Porter as well

                    Negative. It doesn’t really matter anyway...ppvs are still overpriced regardless.

                      People that can afford a Mercedes can also afford a Toyota. The make a choice to buy what they want. You shouldn't have an issue with people spending their money how they want to.
                      You guys would rather pay for a Wilder fight of 80 dollars then watch it on Dazn or ESPN , that goes for any PBC fighter, it's a cult like train of thought. You guys are so geared towards Wilder , in your case you fall under passive aggressive but you are still one of them.

                      Ortiz vs Wilder is a great over priced PP V no one asked for. I'm sure you'll be over excited to shell out the doe when it could have been a regular Showtime fight , who needs that right ? Ha
