    Then its down to the fans to show the PBC they are NOT going to pay PPV fees for this fight by boycotting the whole shebang.

    Its not worthy of a main event on any card Fundora is coming off a devastating KO loss. They are all scared of
    the Soul Taker from Down Under. Tim Tsyzu

    They still running a PPV tells you everything. Amazon not prepared to put up the costs for a non PPV show as this isnt really a broadcast deal which PBC have.

    Dazn have had main events fall through and then the shows have become non PPV but clearly Amazon are not prepared to do that.

    This is PBC. Now it makes sense why it is PPV. They only have PPV streaming deal with Amazon. Still working out normal boxing telecast.

    They saw the Showtime mistake.

    I don’t doubt that Keith is injured and in reality this is probably a better fight as it means there’s actually a couple of belts on the line.

    But let’s be honest, Fundora is going to get his head taken off here. If Mendoza can level him in the way he did then Tszyu might actually decapitate the guy.

    Mendoza and Tszyu are fairly similar with the main exception being that Tszyu does literally everything so much better than Mendoza does.

    Fundora has no chance. None.

    Fundora was beating Mendoza. He just got timed. He'll be more careful in this fight. Zoo is in a world of trouble here.

    They should have seen if Bud was willing to step in on short notice…

    Thurman's body is worn down from so many boxing matches. He is the 21st Century version of Harry Greb. Amazing.

    This match should not a PPV. If it remains so, it will bomb hugely and bigly.
