    Because someone else who paid for it recorded it and shared it.

    I didn't think a single one of the points was valid tbh.

    Whyte Vs Chisora would be a better fight than Usyk Vs Fury. But I know which one I'd rather watch.

    I'd rather watch the best fight the best regardless of anything else.

    It shocks me that we have boxing fans arguing who is more popular, as another poster has pointed out also. We're boxing fans, not social media followers.

    I know man I've just taken a different poster to school about this very subject.

    We're boxing fans, we don't care about value metrics, popularity, or social media. we only care about seeing the best boxers fight each other.

    I want to watch this one but I’m not paying more than $50. Might see if any friends are getting it. Tired of paying for mediocre cards. Let’s see who else is on this one.

    I like the fight but it’s way overpriced.

    The midget nor the emotionally unstable drama queen have done nothing in this sport to warrant this fight being on PPV. This is an ESPN fight all day every day.

    Who was the highest paid athlete on that card? Which athletes drew a large amount of ppv buys? CM Punk.

    A novice such as CM Punk vs that level of opponent would never usually be on a UFC non ppv event let alone PPV but UFC saw it as an opportunity to sell ppvs.

    The ppv drew 425,000 buys. That’s significantly higher than the previous card headlined by Stipe Miocic. His title winning bout against Fabricio Werdum at UFC 198 clocked in at just 350,000 buys, and that was a card that included Vitor Belfort and Cris Cyborg.

    That kinda proves my point even more. CM Punk was the crossover star, but he wasn't the headliner. He was 3rd from the main event.

    In boxing we've had Paul Vs Fury just headline a ppv card. Not had them play this fiddle to Fury Vs Usyk and AJ Vs Wilder, we had them as the main event.

    To be fair, Paul did do a few undercards appearances before headlining his own PPV.

    Tank is trying to squeeze out every dollar he can. The man Child has a world of legal trouble. He will lose millions in the hit and run civil suit. Suspended license and running red light. All of which he pleaded guilty too. Slam Dunk civil case. He also now has legal problem with baby momma.

    But again, to be fair, his ppv status is down purely to social media. He has never beaten a ranked opponent.

    Boxers demands wouldn't be so high if PPV didn't exist

    Used to happen all the time ya clueless goof.

    Also, Haney Lomachenko - a significantly better fight - is $25 cheaper. I know where my $$ going

    You wanna make people angrier about the card?
