    Would you pay PPV money for a competitive fight right now?

    It seems obvious that all the fights around the corner are going to be awful.

    It makes sense. You really can’t hold a big fight without a crowd.

    But what about a fight that isn’t a big fight, just a 50-50 fight?

    It seems like they might be able to make up for the lack of a live gate for those fights if boxing fans were willing to shell out a PPV price for fights that normally wouldn’t be PPV worthy. The idea, of course is that PPV revenue that would normally be zero makes up for the butts in seats.

    So I ask you... would you pay PPV right now just to see a competitive fight?

    Yes in a heartbeat.

    Although for now any boxing is good boxing.

    Joe Smith vs Eleider Alvarez is one hell of a competitive fight coming soon. Free ESPN I believe?

    I’m watching Bradley vs Ruslan first fight right now, I need boxing. Most of us probably feel the same way.

        would Santa Cruz vs Gervonta pack Vegas w/ a mediocre undercard? I see Arum & Haymon getting money hungry & after seeing Tony Ferguson - Justin do 700k purchases Uncle Al might sell a LSC vs Tank Davis, Charlo vs Lara,

        i would forkout $ for Leo's fight, not Erislandy since he's old & finna lose clearly. Other fight a toss-up
