the US gets zero for free. Occasionally there’s a decent card on DAZN for no additional fee beyond the subscription, but that’s it. want to hear who has it good? Mexico. The beer brands basically subsidize the PPV buy for the entire country. They pay for the rights to show it in the country, and then the event is broadcast for free with the beer company as the sponsors. This is a bit of a generalization, but they get a lot for free.
I'm surprised these cards don't push some decent women's fights. There's a few good match-ups out there, that would generate interest and be entertaining, and you'd imagine not cost to much in purse
and why don’t big names without titles do easy tomato can fights regularly like they used to? In the late 80s / early 90s, Foreman would knock out some journeyman every month or two while waiting for a real fight. Send AJ, Dubois, and Bakole in against uber drivers every couple of months while they wait for real fights. Fans would still love to see them doing it on an undercard. i guess not applicable to AJ and Dubois, but very applicable to Bakole — Foreman understood that knocking out nobodies regularly for tiny purses leads to big purses. He was happy to take very little for a few easy nights knowing it would help him get the real fights and the real purses. Bakole right now should be out there on any undercard he can find against any random journeyman brave enough to get into a ring with him.
