Not really - he does 200,000 buys. I guess that’s the benchmark for modern day PPV. Crazy really.
If they weren't greedy as fornicate they'd have him on normal TV for a few years to build a profile in US then PPV.

They can't even be bothered with that anymore, just want to milk every last dollar from the get go.
It’s so short sighted. They think he’s a star because 200,000 buy it and probably only 500,000 watch.

It’s not like he’s fighting great fighters either. If it was Lopez, Loma, Haney then fair enough but Rolly?!

PCB and TMT know absolutely nothing about building up fighters.

Exactly, just not the way to do things especially now with the likes of UFC so big in the states.

They've forgot how important exposure is and fighting regularly. You need to be in front of as many people as possible as much as possible.

Even when he was on Showtime, regular. He wasn’t pulling more than 500k viewers.

God knows how many watched via the app.

Mayweather only has his guys on Showtime.

FOX would be so much more exposure.

PBC weren’t bad at building guys up at first didn’t have many PPV’s.. Thurman, Porter, Garcia, Jack, Stevenson, all these guys fought on regular Showtime/FOX.

But obviously, PBC need money, FOX need money. Then guys like Spence come on the scene and want more money..

Poor Rolly being Me Too'd now. The feminists are slowly getting their claws into boxing, there is no escape from them. Espinoza will probably throw Rolly under the bus to make himself look good.

I mean ffs a creep like Espinoza along with Mayweather and Tanks history and they wanna cancel Rolly because of treatment of women... :brick: :doh:

Mayweather using those long arms to scrape the bottom of the barrel for a replacement Rolly.
Will it still be PPV? I'd put money on it, but not to buy it :lol:

Crazy to see that the replacement is better in this case. Not a bad fight if he gets Cruz.

LOL Tank not disciplined for that. I'm expecting a Santa Cruz one. Toe-to-toe action. I'm much more hyped than when he was going to fight Rollo.

Why is Rolly being pulled?
No charges have been laid as far as I know.
It has to be bad.

i mean i'd guess they have it legally so they can pull him pretty much for whatever they'd want. and even if no charges have been laid, they might think it's a bad look to be highlighting a guy an active sexual assault case tied to his name

and of course, it could be that they know charges aree likely or something like that

Probably they saw in Rolly some danger. Tank must look good vs his opponent to build up the hype. Rod Salka or Malignaggi would be some great picks!

Btw, are utterly hypocritical and annoying these feminist sexual laws in us, where girls from young ages are posing their ar.ses on insta and want to get laid asap. These cunning little-ho.es desperately are baiting and setting traps to the males to get money and some publicity with this sexual harassment bs.

Are males having any right in US? Or they are just good only when they have money and fame?

Different fighters and sh.it, but what danger specifically Mauricio Lara has shown to beat Josh Warrington?



Rolly is young, strong, bigger and he's very hungry to win vs a name like Tank! :box:

The US is a sick society, these women come out of the woodwork just at this moment for money.

Unfortunately other countries tend to follow in the sickness of the US.

If anyone kept up with the Mexican fight scene, Lara was definitely a top Mexican prospect. Mexico has a very tough 135 and down scene. I highlighted him a long time ago in another forum. I also named William Zepeda who has impressed in recent national showings.

Rolly is not at that level, nor will he ever be at that level. He reminds me a lot of Chris Eubank Jr. Big mouthed and overconfident.

If your dumb enough to hand over your money, someone will take it :lol:
Its probably a better one than the original, but still fairly low risk, and still not PPV.
