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

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.

I think it makes them feel more involved somehow

Agendas probably. They run right through everything on this site.

People like to talk about good PPV numbers if a fighter/promoter/TV channel that they like gets good numbers, but not if a fighter/promoter/TV channel that they like has bad numbers.

If a fighter/promoter/TV channel they dislike does poor numbers, they want to talk about it. But not so much if that same fight does good numbers.

PPV's and purses are a real part of the sport and can dictate what fights do and don't happen. But for the most part on here, it's just used when people are picking what side of the line they are on, as opposed to any genuine discussion on it's impact on the sport.

Its because certain fighters are hiding behind demands based on their so called star power. I wont mention names but one guy has turned down a number of fights for undisputed against Anthony Joshua because he felt he was the A side or joint A side cuz hes just a big a star, which he really isnt. So we dont get the fight we want cuz some dumb yank unnamed hillbilly has got greedy, so we look at why its not happened and who is being reasonable and who is being too demanding and generally stopping this fight getting made. Which means we need to crunch those numbers.

Say what you want, but AJ went on VIDEO saying he wouldn't fight Wilder yet because he wasn't ready. Explaining how Wilder has 5 years on him in experience so he was going to wait until Wilder was on the way out before he went at him. Pure diva pu$$y ****. No wonder he took on dinosaur Wlad.

Meanwhile Wilder had an expression that almost gave him a heart attack (on video) when someone joked with him that AJ wouldn't fight him unless he reached 50-0.

As someone else said, makes them feel more involved. Or maybe LOL, just maybe, they are looking at what return on their investment they might get. You know, that mil they dropped into the PPV Returns Fund
