Comments Thread For: Showtime's Espinoza Promises Charlos PPV Will Deliver **** For Consumer Buck

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Showtime worthy main events with the Charlos...crap undercard Fox Sports 1 fights in the lighter weights with no significant competitive matchups...Nerys opponent has never even fought anything but 8 rd fights but somehow gets a title shot!! Pbc at its best!!

Stephen dropping knowledge.

Well, it is a roll of the dice alright. I am not sure if Charlo brothers have the following to make the PPV successful. The undercards have a better following I think. Casimero, Figueroa, Nery will have their fanbase.

75 bucks is way too much for this fight card. They will be lucky to get 100,000 buys, but then again that turns out to be 7.5 million gross. Also with the pandemic, people are not going to hold big parties to watch the fights. So why not 19.95 so people can buy the fights and whatch them by themselves.

It is a good card that is stacked but the common fan always need that big recognizable name in order to buy the fight.

Hopefully this card does well so they will continue to add meaningful fights to the fight card.

Don King used to stack his ppv events.

The problem with this “stacked” undercard is that they are all in lighter weights with no significant names the casual fan would know or care about!! Nerys opponent is career 8 rd fighter who somehow gets a title shot in a pathetic mismatch! King would stack the undercard with known names in the more popular higher weight divisions.

It sucks that in boxing we (the fans) have come accustomed to such terrible mismatches that when an actual packed card comes around, they make it PPV. Because its "higher quality than usual" .

If every card was more like "shobox" with more evenly match opponents & more consistent weekly shows, Boxing would be in a much better state.

Idk how this fight will do going up against UFC. (Might be the same price, but the fight fans know the quality and consistency they getting when they purchase a PPV from UFC.... I usually put Boxing before UFC but idk if I'm buying this Charlo PPV over Adesanya vs Costa....... also to add on to that, I'm definitely getting the Khabib fight over Tank vs LSC . I'm not the executive but I think its a terrible idea for both sports doing head to head on PPV. Its going to look really bad for Boxing when the numbers get compared at the end of the year.)

Whyte/Povetkin just tanked at £20 on PPV. We are in a pandemic, boxing fans aren’t ****** (U.K. boxing fans anyways).

Maybe the Charlo's just aren't PPV material..

Ive never been prouder of the fans. Sky and Hearn take the absolute pisss.. Dillian Whyte is not a PPV fighter, and they sold that fight as an eliminator, which it clearly wasn't. Now we know why Eddies house is the size of the council estate I was brought up on..
