      These types of fights wouldn't be PPV back then. To be a PPV headliner vs a little known name you had to be Mike Tyson big, or ODLH big. Other than them, it always took two to make a fight PPV. For a PPV to be successful, it had to be predicted that it would sell great, not predicted that it will likely not do great. This prediction is not based on if boxing fans are rich or broke bums, it's based on the names. You are certainly not guaranteed fireworks with the Charlos.

      These are okay names, but not big names. PPV was reserved for big names and names that networks can guarantee fans that there will be fireworks and there will be drama. This is not it. If we go by twitter followers (I don't use twitter but it's apparently a good gauge on popularity) the Charlo's have 50k fans each. By comparison, Terence Crawford, who is not yet a "superstar" and who is not a PPV fighter either, has 185k followers, that's almost twice as much as both Charlo's combined. And Crawford doesn't even get the PPV treatment yet because they know it's gonna probably bomb.

      As for the bum part, I'm sure if you get all of our salaries and averaged it out, you'd get the US average of $50k for boxingscene. Which is not poor. It's just that people care about what they spend $80 on. There are better things $80 can buy you, like food for example. And newsflash, this has always been part of the PPV formula: boxing fans will support the fighters they like to watch. That's just how it works. And Charlo's don't have a ton of fans.

            Charlo Twins vs Derevyanchenko and Rosario in a Tag-Team Tables Ladders and Chairs match. At least that's what you think it would be with the exaggeration by some posters of how good the card is. Stone Cold Steve Austin will be the guest referee also.

            https://www.boxingscene.com/espinoza...1%2C%208%20KOs).

            The two-bout Charlo-Derevyanchenko undercard will include two 12-round title fights.

            The Philippines’ John Riel Casimero (29-4, 20 KOs) will defend his WBO bantamweight title against Ghana’s Duke Micah (24-0, 19 KOs) in the opening bout of a broadcast that’ll start at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. In the bout immediately preceding Charlo-Derevyanchenko, Brandon Figueroa (20-0-1, 15 KOs), of Weslaco, Texas, is set to defend his WBA world super bantamweight championship versus Las Vegas’ Damien Vasquez (15-1-1, 8 KOs).

            Following the aforementioned 30-minute break, [Danny] Roman (27-3-1, 10 KOs), a former IBF/WBA 122-pound champ from Los Angeles, and Miami’s [Juan Carlos] Payano (21-3, 9 KOs), an ex-WBA bantamweight champ, will meet in a 12-round WBC super bantamweight elimination match. In the Charlo-Rosario co-feature, Mexicans Luis Nery (30-0, 24 KOs) and Aaron Alameda (25-0, 13 KOs) will fight for the vacant WBC 122-pound crown in another 12-rounder.
            TL;DR
            Jermall-Derevyanchenko
            Jermell-Rosario
            Casimero-Micah
            Figueroa-Vazquez
            Roman-Payano
            Nery-Alameda

            STACKED.

              I make $80k US and my boys and I laugh at this price. Two of us have DAZN and one has ESPN+, but to each their own

                Charlo bros suck, you waste that money.
                No way are they PPV fighters, who have they fought? Bunch of PBC house fighters just like Wilder.

                  If I was US based I’d probably buy it. Feels like you’d get your money’s worth with like 5 hours of world level action.

                  Still no UK tv announced which is sh**. Can’t believe Sky or BT aren’t picking this up.

                    No wonder DAZN are broke when you look at their model from that perspective.

                    A big Canelo PPV would likely make a similar amount to what DAZN make in yearly boxing subscriptions.

                      People complaining about this PPV price or the quality of the product were never going to pay. It’s just them BSing their way out of payment and trying to convince themselves they aren’t broke.
