Joshua and Whyte

Smith can fight PPV fights
Butasi in a couple years when fighting big names will be PPV material
Loma v Campbell will be PPV

and if Eddie signs Josh Taylor and puts him in big fights I am sure he will be in PPV fights.

 

I think it’s a shame with Luke. He genuinely is one of the best in country for me but doesn’t get recognition off the hardcore base and he’s not entertaining enough for the casuals. Couple that with no social media presence, no charisma and taking himself off to America and it’s just a complete recipe for disaster.

So i don’t think it sells out the o2 and I don’t think it does huge numbers if on PPV.

 

People keep saying Whyte isn't a PPV fighter, if he is doing over 400,000 consistently then that makes him a PPV fighter. It isn't about opinion its about numbers.

 

Absolutely.

This is why I reckon Lomachenko Campbell might not be PPV. Yes Lomachenko is elite but most people haven't heard of him and Campbell as stated above is a tough sell.

People just need to realise that we live in a world where this sort of thing isn't purely based on raw talent.

 

Bang on. It is supply and demand like everything else in the world.

Loma Campbell will be in America so it will be a free sky show starting at 2am I think. Campbell, although one of our best fighters is barely known by the casuals and has the personality of a plank.

 

In uk scene if looking for potential future ppv stars really at moment only see calum Smith and josh taylor as only 2. Right now joshau and whyte is although he will try brook vs khan. Josh kelly isnt as good he thinks and alot ppl dont like him buatsi as good as he has been 175 is wild for talent need be careful . For taylor his viewing figures were great om sky he is exciting to watch and comes across well and does have a bit spite in him where he wants to ko the opposition plus sum great fights at 140 and 147 likes Crawford ,Spence, garcia, thurman , pacman obs prograis fight .The same smith ok he is quiet but again good to watch has spite in him. U have potentially ggg,canelo and its murderers row at 175 so plenty fights to be made for both these guys

 

He’s not an elite fighter, he’s not a world champion, he’s in the occasional entertaining fight. That shouldn’t make a PPV fighter. He’s living off slightly rocking Joshua (before getting KTFO) which has bod been proven to not be some magnificent feat.

 

This^^^ could see this with these names all PPV material in the making.

 

If 400,000+ think he is a ppv fighter then he is. It is always going to work this way.

 

As long as people recognise that ppv fighter does not mean an elite fighter then i don’t begrudge (too much) a fighter who has the personality to attract big ppv sales. Bellew is one example of this. What I do begrudge is the propaganda that they’re hard done by etc. Whyte is not hard done by, not in the slightest. He’s earning great money whilst developing his trade.

 

Spot on. Nobody wants to pay extra for a fight and I wouldn’t call Whyte Rivas PPV but if that many people think he is then, then he is.
