    I'm no pocket watcher but $25 PPVs are great for fans. Much love to my American fighters but those near $80 PPVs are out of control. Maybe we should follow the brits on this and maybe they would get more buys since our population is 10x the U.K.'s in California alone.
    Other than that can we get AJ and Wilder to clash already?

    Is there anything funnier than seeing people who are getting gouged for 80 bucks celebrating how much they have to pay?

    If they didn't brought it when it cost that cheap especially if they are boxing fans? They clearly are broke or very very very very cheap.

    Even after losing the titles, Joshua still puts asses in seats.

    Even if it was 74.99 it would've still done over 1 million buys easily. And are you saying if Wilder/Ortiz II was £24.95 or $33 it would've done 1.6 million buys? Lmao :lol:

    Bro, you are a customer and so am I. We shouldn't be bragging about making fighters rich. These guys are getting 6-8 figures and I still work M-F for 5 figures a year. I would brag if they sent me a piece of that sweet pie that Haymon, Hearn, Arum, and Oscar get.
    Hell, send me 2% of what the cutman gets and I'll tattoo the fighters face on my arm.

    Makes me laugh when everyone is banging on about how short and fat Ruiz is. Well Joshua just made more than double the money on PPV sales against a “Short and fat” Ruiz than Wilder - Fury did without all the cringe selling of the fight.

    I'm not

    That idiot that liked your post above and others are boasting about ticket sales and popularity

    I'm just humoring them

    I couldn't care less about who sells tickets

    Ed Sheeran could make his boxing debut this weekend vs Justin Bieber and shatter records

    Who cares? Lol
