    Maybe some people do not want to support the boxing industry being run the way it has been by PBC/Top Rank?

    By paying for this PPV people are saying to the promoters that it's ok to feed us that Wallin/Schwarz/Breazeale/Ortiz 2 crap for the last 15 months instead of giving us meaningful fights.

      I agree things have to change within the industry but for a fight of this magnitude I feel its worth paying the full pay per view price.

      Hence this is Fury/Wilders big pay day and both have been working years to get to this point eg the pinnacle of the sport.

        I believe hes on the main undercard so it should.

        Scratch that^^^^
        Hit my boy up this AM, said its not going to be televised as part of the main undercard. Bummer. He's not sure if the prelims will be shown on reg espn and I havent found anything that says they are. Sucks tbh. Hopefully Gabe makes a statement and they at least mention it during the live telecast. He's a good young fighter, talented and has a following.

          That’s what happens when an event is a cross promotion. The pot is split up more so not much left for quality undercard fights.
          Not buying the fight but will still watch the main event.

            Tell me the last 3 PPV undercards you loved? It's a PPV of course the undercard isn't fire.

            PPV undercards are always ho hum. It's the exception going against the rule when there is a good one.

              I live rural, PPVs are not worth the money out here and they just keep making them more expensive.

              If the stream or broadcast is likely to have a problem, everytime, would you buy anything anymore?

              Nothing to do with the details of the card, though I don't care beyond Wilder-Fury myself, but the truth is boxing keeps rural eyes off of it by being on free TV only now and then, not enough to follow ****, then PPVing everything worth a damn even though they know in Dixie buying a PPV is buying a broken broadcast or stream cause the providers and infrastructure out here is shiiiiiiiittty.

                This is the ONLY time i miss Don King! He put quality AND quantity throughout the whole ppv card.

                  Name wise its not appealing but as a boxing fan I actually think they may be good fights, we will see.

                    Yeah, I was thinking how Martin/Washington could turn out to be a war.

                      Promoters figured out a long time ago that undercards don’t sell PPVs.
