Good fights but no way they're PPV worthy

PBC is just taking advantage of the current situation with Covid like UFC did

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Agree. I think the right price point can really boost these fights. If I was working with PBC, i'd suggest going as low as $11.99-19.99 for cards like this. I'd also look to make the most relevant fights in each division. These might not always be the best possible fights.

I think the one thing UFC does right is reward winning with progressively better fights for more money. PBC needs to do this. Make Charlo/Lubin and JRock/Harrison on the same card. Then have the winners fight, maybe even the losers, on the next big JMW card. No reason a guy gets a big win then fights a bum in a cash grab. I think that turns fans off. With UFC, you know a guy that just won is fighting a better opponent that, on paper, is worth buying.

Also time to make the cross promotional fights with TR. Keep an eye out on what goes on at DAZN and be prepared to scoop up any contracts they may have to let go.

I think I actually posted yesterday that J-Rock-Harrison would make perfect sense as an unofficial eliminator to get the winner of Charlo-Rosario. I still rate Lubin highly too, I think he can still achieve a lot despite the setback to Charlo a couple of years back.

I’m not a huge MMA fan but it seems there is little record padding. Top contenders consistently fight one another to earn a shot. I guess that’s the perks of having 1 title and 1 organisation.

I’m really hoping the Fury-Wilder trilogy proves to promoters that they can work together amicably to make the best fights. Hopefully they can follow up on this with Spence-Crawford, Loma-Tank etc etc.

Those fights IMO make the most sense. Lubin is ranked #1 so let him get the fight. I am not big on UFC either but they give the #1 ranked guy the title fight they earned. Boxing does a TERRIBLE job in this regard.

At this point I would think all of them realize fans want to see certain fights. The pandemic is the perfect "excuse" for them to work with each other.

Taking advantage? How do you take advantage of the situation with Covid? Tank-LSC was going to be PPV either way, with or without Covid. And with the card put it on for the Charlo brothers, I don't really see how a network was going to be able to afford that either. So good chance that was going to be PPV as well.

Lomachenko vs Lopez once it gets announced is also going on PPV. Promoters are losing gate revenue and other type of revenue. Tough situation to be in.

Of course they are taking advantage of this situation, you think in normal circumstances charlo/derv would be on PPV? I doubt it

There's no sports atm other than UFC (didn't a fight beetwen some boring ass champ and some journeyman did over a million the other weekend) and football which is not popular in US

Lol, so they are taking advantage of NO sports? You do realize when these PPVs happen that sports like MLB, NBA and NFL will be back, correct?

Would Charlo vs Derevyanchenko as a stand alone be a PPV? No, but that wouldn't have been PPV even with Covid. They had to put his brother on the same card in a unification bout with some other solid names. Derevyanchenko is making probably at least 3M, and then both Charlo's are going to make that range if not a little more. A network wouldn't have been able to afford that card without PPV.

UFC does monthly PPVs all the time. Nothing changed in that regard. And you said journeyman just did 1.3M buys? He's one of the most popular fighters in combat sports. Wins and losses doesn't determine popularity in the UFC. Nick Diaz became a huge name after the two McGregor fights and Masvidal just headlined a PPV against Diaz the fight prior. Trust me, VERY few boxers are bigger names than Masvidal.

Top class fights from the PBC, this puts pressure on the others. Hopefully this will be the turning point
