[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bill Wanger, FOX Sports' executive vice president of programming, live operations and research, expects that the broadcast network will maintain that pay-per-view pace or close to it over the final three years of its deal with Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions. Wanger discussed FOX's pay-per-view strategy and other topics during an interview with a small group of reporters prior to the press conference Saturday at Staples Center to officially announce the Wilder-Ortiz rematch.

Love Wilder as he always has fun fights but Ortiz again isn't worth ppv. even though Wilder is right that Ortiz is very dangerous and other heavys never seemed to want to fight him.

[KTFOKING]

Sounds about right.

Two Spence PPVs a year, two Pacquiao PPVs a year and then one or possibly two Wilder PPVs a year.

275k ppv for Spence-Porter? Lol the number keeps going down

Remember when PBC was free boxing?

Yeah, I mean only 150k more than Crawford. More than doubled his buys against a similar opponent in name value. I mean weren't you just expecting 200k buys?

Spence in his two PPVs this year had over 600k buys.

Crawford in his two PPVs did not even surpass 200k buys...COMBINED!

Fox has to do better than wilder/Ortiz or Spence/Danny for PPV fights.

If they are serious about PPV then Spence/Porter 2 and Spence/Manny need to happen at WW and Wilder/Fury 2 and Wilder/Ruiz (if he beats AJ) or Wilder/AJ need to happen at hwt.. These fights need to be supported with fights like Santa Cruz/Russell and Jrock/Hurd 2. There is a market for PPV but fans have to get there money's worth.

Also, get a better judge than Hazzard Jr. He can't be allowed to work any fights anymore.

Guy is utter trash. Had Porter winning 8 rounds and Charlo winning like 11 rounds against Korobov. He is on Byrd level if we are going to be honest.

Might not be a Spence vs. Danny fight! Errol told Shawn "Let's run it back," and Shawn is all in! So am I. That was a great fight!
