Maskaev-Rahman only 60,000 ppv sales

Wow, I thought around 100 thousand. 60 is a real kick in the nuts.

Well that simply means there are very few people remaining who are still fans of the HW division.

And believe me it will continue to decline especially now that the title holders are non americans.

If that happens, they're going to shift their fights to Europe, where they'll make a ton of cash. Valuev and Klitschko are well known fighters there, they will have no problems with selling out the arenas.

same here id rather watch an amateur fight on PPV instead of that. but sayin that i am a bit biased towards not likin the HW divison because it isnt as good as it was years ago

[flipside]

that says a lot of about the heavyweight division

[deuce_drop]

those numbers are pathetic. shows you how much people care about the heavyweight division.

the heavyweight division is crap right now and is going to be for a long time. until a few heavies step up and make a new splash, it's going down like sinking ship.

there is no draw in the heavyweight division, plus when you get action packed fights like in the lower weights, who wants to see two big guys hug after every punch. it's slow paced, there is more clinching than anyone wants to see, and the match ups are ****. til all that changes the heavyweight divison is just going to be a redheaded step child in boxing. the only thing now that will be considered great about the heavyweight division are the old stories of yester-year............sad to say but it's boring to watch......i can't stand heavyweight fights, about 98% of the time, and the general boxing public is the same way.....

of course it didnt sell good, rahman-maskaev should never have been a PPV

exactly.
thats wat boxing fans should do when they put on gay PPV like that. there are quite a few fights that should NOT have been on PPV, but still sold well...i regret buying sum of them myself

thats the truth, i wish we could get a refund for receiving an unsatisfactory product, i.e., ****ty ppv fights.............

ppv's are what's killing boxing, you cut out about half the boxing fan population. if there was more access to view fights for the general public boxing would be touted as a top sport, like it used to be, you can thank don king, arumm, and big networks for that.

i would say HBO, but i give them credit, after boxing was basically take off network television, they picked up the ball, but they also contributed to the problem we face today with boxing. a necessary evil......
