Top Rank is going with a PPV headlined by Oscar Valdez vs Miguel Marriaga. If reasonably priced, would anyone purchase this fight?

Who?

9.95

Top Rank PPV? The last ppv was decent enuf. Commentary, interviews etc.

If the price is reasonable, sure. The problem with US PPV is the price. $70 to watch the Cotto retirement tour?... come on HBO...

oscar valdez against santa cruz or abner mares, yeah i would pay 20-40 bucks for that, but against miguel

I'm a Valdez fan so i'd probably buy it but Top Rank would be idiotic to do this as a PPV event. Oscar Valdez is going to be a top earner in this sport if they play it right. Hitting the PPV button early on a fighters career becomes a negative and hurts the fighters demand and popularity. PPV events should be earned through years of growing fan support. This is way too early and is not a smart move.

Arum should really think about securing another outlet for his fighters like TNT or PBS or something like that.

I doubt arum wants to do it on ppv. I am assuming it is just a matter of hbo not having dates and arum not having anywhere else to go with it.

Of course not. I used to buy boxing PPVs all the time, now I've bought maybe 2 in the last 5 years. The prices are ridiculous and the undercards blow. There is just no value there anymore.

Ppv for boxing is on its last legs. Way to many ways to stream for way cheaper or.even free in many cases
