Why are folks so focused on fighter purses and ppv buys?

[El_Mero]

A lot of people who beleive they're middle class arent even middle class or close to it.

If you're income isnt at least 50k you arent middle class. That's not even lower middle class. Me and my wife pull in just over 100k and let me tell you that despite being like 85 percentile plus for income in the US we are lower middle class.

Nearly everyone in US is poor but they're too dumb or too proud to admit it.

Crazy how people live vicariously through people eh? Those people are the weakest ones. Too pathetic to live their own life. Need to live it through people they dont even KNOW.

I can agree with a lot of what you posted. I think social media has done a job, a bad one mind you, thats contributed to a lot of what youre talking about...

There's more energy on this than the actual fights itself. Wilder/Ortiz 2 has been over for about a two weeks and detectives are still trying to find the actual ppv buys of the fight.

It's because of deontay wilder and the pbc's hate towards AJ, Eddie Hearn and Dazn.
They began to scrutinise everything AJ/hearn/dazn were doing..this is the end result.

The best fights don't happen often enough so instead of arguing who is better, the worst fanboys argue over who is ducking who. One way is to use financial claims 'well his last fight was a flop so he should just accept whatever offer his biggest rival gives and don't complain or it's a duck' and it can go the other way 'his last fight was a success so his rival ducked in not offering more/accepting his offer'

This sounds like Big Dunn and the more pathetic sounding Floyd Boys like Larry to a t.

The thing too is that this is not a personal attack against anyone. This is objective facts. Yet I bet people will still get offended because its easier to believe a lie than acceptable harsh truth.

Boxing has become a business and unfortunately, that's what makes fights happen these days, how much of a PPV draw you are or how well known you are. All about that all mighty dollar.

they also argue over who has more Instagram and twitter followers

You do know that those numbers in this day and age directly correlate to your earning potential right ?

Its like a person who had 8 million subs on youtube. Just from adsense they are making anywhere from 100 to 1.2 million a month alone.

You need to keep up with how money is made online nowadays.

I'm just a boxing fan sir, id actually like to eventually have a discussion about actual fights, techniques, strategies... I get we are in the age of social media and all this stuff but I'm not really interested in seeing grown men brag on how many more followers their fighter has.

People who don't make much money always focus on what others are Making it is true FANS (Short for FANATICS) are fascinated by what Celebrities Makes which is why we have FORBES and other things like that which mostly just talk about Rich People Money getting Richer and Rank them every year

So it is not just in Boxing, FANS in General live vicariously through their favorite Celebs and brag about their accomplishments as if they are getting some of their money

Wilder and Ortiz are Millionaires while you have fans struggle to pay rent trying to talk down on their event and their purses

I like floyd but he started this... him and his fanbase affected the rest. “Oh i don’t have a dance partner”
Negotiation for pac-floyd broke down every faucet of the game financially just to make it happen.

I haven’t heard oscar use ppv excuse to fight anyone.. and he was the mega star before floyd and pac.
I haven’t heard pac either. Or tyson or anyone before floyd for that matter..

He’s a genius yeah.. but he started this

These boxers actually want to get paid for all the brain trauma they are getting, I mean who cares thou right as long as we the fans get our pound of flesh who gives a damn about if they make a living or not.
