        The welterweights have clearly dropped the ball big time when it comes to popularity, now it's back to being all about the heavyweights. The inactivity of these fighters and the terrible decisions their teams have been making has significantly hurt their popularity.

        Keith Thurman vs Adrien Broner wouldn't even sell 75k PPVs right now. Even the super fight between Spence and Crawford or Pacquiao wouldn't sell more than 300k PPVs. It's sad considering the talent pool and the perfect initial conditions Floyd Mayweather provided for welterweights.

            Yup, people are crazy to suggest this is not a super fight by todays standards. AB can seel if its on FOX TV its going to do a lot of ratings.

            It will likely be best to put it in California for the Celebs to turn out.

            AB been dissing Thurman after he lost to Pacman, because Thurman said I aint no AB.

                The PPV model isnt what it once was, Floyd only sold big when he fought UFC star conor, his fight with Berto the numbers were never released but they floated around 400 to 600k those are very low for your farewell fight.

                I think 300 to 500k are amazing numbers now, and no heavyweight is doing that so how can you say its back to the heavyweights?

                FOX is the only one promoting boxing, ESPN doesnt care they focus more on UFC.
