    At the end of the day, do you really think GGG-Lemieux will do better numbers than Floyd-Berto? Maybe it will. But that would really surprise me.

    No.

    Maybe even Cotto v Canelo wouldn't.

    But that's not the question posed in the thread.

    But the ultimate deciders of the answer to your question are surely the paying fans? No?

    Not really. 'Value for money' is different from 'how many mugs are there out there'

    90% - 10% seems pretty conclusive to me

    They both shouldn't be PPVs to begin with but Floyd-Berto is a straight up rip off.

    I disagree. I think the marketplace is the ultimate decider.

    If more people purchase Floyd-Berto, then more people are investing time and money into that event. If that's not a reflection of better value, I'm not sure what is.

    If both PPV's are priced exactly the same and you could only afford one, which would you pick?
