    Whyte has lost more rounds against Chisora than Ortiz has lost in his career.

    It is a two sided struggle for me

    On one hand I want to see PPV die and I hope the bad PPV numbers continue and boxing moves to more non cable and basic cable channels and easily accessible app platforms to even things like youtube and facebook

    on the other I dont want the sport to decline and see the business end struggle and have negative implications for future events and fights

    I think for a while the fans did get fleeced especially by Mayweather and Pacquiao with their one sided ppv's and eventually the bubble had to burst. I hope they sort out the end to PPV without hurting the overall sport

    We’ll see what the British board fines him.

    Those 2 "fights" were more like sparring sessions against no-hopers.

    Exactly :lol: Its surreal. Tyson avoiding the rematch is public record. Yet people still try to live in the fantasy that Wilder was the one that avoided Fury. Amazing.

    Ruiz and Joshua are fighting each other on the 7th
    Usyk wasn't going to jump to hw to fight DW in his first fight.
    He fought Fury. Not DW fault he was coked up and missed time
    Povetkin failed a test stop the nonsense.
    None of the rest of those hw are as good as Ortiz. Stop the bs man come on.

    It's been a whole week now and still no news about the numbers. That tells you everything you need to know. I've been corresponding with a burlesque dancer in Tuscaloosa for a number of years now and her brother is also a huge boxing fan too and she said he told her that he's never even heard of Bum Squad before let alone bought one of his PPVs.
