$74.99 for the Wilder-Helenius fight...

Please post the dossier here, i havnt seen it

 

you need to add the last 4-5 years of hilariousness.

id expand on the olympics.
He only won a bronze medal because he got the biggest gift of a draw ever.
he struggled past to sub 6 foot fat african fighters , barely winning on countback
he then got completely embarrassed by a little Italian man named Clemente Russo

 

Don't hate, appreciate.

 

Well multiple people bring up Wilders bronze medal to support that he is actually good. That was a farcical bronze medal, the draw was a joke
Wilder got knocked out of the 2007 world championships on home soil by a medicore polish fighter who got knocked out in the next round.

Basically any boxer even if they were pretty poor could have won a bronze medal with that draw

 

You can see them working this line of thinking, but they don't apply it to which fights are PPVs which is dumb. They should put the HW title fights and super fights like Canelo vs GGG on free TV, make them global events, and grow the sport.

Than charge for the fights that boxing fans are interested in, like Chocolatito vs Estrada, or guys that have social media or regional followings.

You can defeat the streamers that way. It's wildly profitable to buy Canelo vs GGG to stream it because the audience who wants that for free is huge. It might not be profitable to do that for a bunch of smaller fights that are only popular with this or that segment of the boxing public (who will be less bothered to part with a few dollars to support someone they feel connected to).

It's good for a post KO comeback fight, but we already know Plant can beat aging gatekeepers. I want to see him take on someone young and strong.

I don't understand why they don't do more Friday events in the US during CFB season. You're gonna try and charge $75 for two aging, beltless HWs and go up against Ole Miss vs Auburn, Utah vs USC (!), Alabama vs Tennessee, Penn State vs Michigan (!!), Kentucky vs Mississippi State, Clemson vs Florida State, etc, etc. I guarantee you one of those games will be a barnburner and an upset. A hell of a lot more likely than Plant vs Dirrell turning into a classic.

College football uses the model I suggested. The free broadcast networks have the biggest games, along with ESPN. With basic cable and/or ESPN+ you have enough for all but the most obsessed fan. Then the true obsessives are the ones who have to subscribe to 18 different services.

You see why one sport grows and the other shrinks.

 

yes lol

 

Gotta be a joke.
