Andy Ruiz v Arreola jus did 150k… you still think it’s fair to compare Heavyweights to lightweights??


Canelo Pac Spence THATS IT nobody else is doin 200k… So Tank is #4 rn


N the “shytty B side” is the reason over 200k is impressive


Bob Arum would do the fukking Dougie while Tim Bradley cheered him on If ANY of his fighters did a 200k PPv

obviously you need a dance Partner to do big numbers but that was never the argument in the first place tho…but you already knew that

If Tank fights Teofimo, Ryan Garcia, or Lomachenko, Taylor etc he does more than 200k.. probably does north of 350k... Nobody is buying ppvs for a fight where they already know the outcome.. Tank n Mayweather Promotions can only fake it til they make it for so long.. these nikkas barely hitting 150-200k because they not putting the right fights on ppv...

Arreola vs Ruiz

Charlos vs Rosario and Randomchenko


Tank vs Santa Cruz vs nikkas who aint the actual champion or #1 contender

Spence vs Danny Garcia... these nikkas knew better

Crawford vs Khan.. I understood why they did it, but it was an unnecessary gamble that backfired..

Point is none of these fights belonged on ppv

He is a Budding Superstar(arguably bigger then EJ who’s in the glory division of the sport) and PPV fighter , though I think his next fight especially if it’s in October will be on Showtime.


His next PPV needs to be against a dancing partner who can draw. Tank vs Garcia easily exceeds 500k, if Floyd and Oscar get on their Diddy shyt, it’s literally one of the biggest fights in boxing. Shame Ryan will duck that fight

I don’t see Garcia fighting anybody of note for another 2 years.

dude is 5-0...i dont know how legit you think he should go up in comp

Breh none of his opponent have had a winning record. I know that’s how all pros get their foot in the game and record boosted but I’m just waiting to see him fight a quality opponent. He looks good but I’m just curious to see what his potential is cause being a 5’9 heavyweight at that next level will be tough.

Leo Santa Cruz Wants To Resume Career At 126, Fight Gary Russell Jr. In Unification Bout

BY MANOUK AKOPYAN
Published Tue Jul 06, 2021, 09:23 AM EDT


Leo Santa Cruz’s five-fight winning streak was snapped on Halloween last year when he suffered a scary knockout to Gervonta Davis in a junior lightweight bout.

The four-division Mexican champion has won titles at 118, 122, 126, and 130.

If you ask 15-year veteran Santa Cruz -- who still holds a WBA title at 126 -- his next fight will unfold at super featherweight.

“I'll probably go down to 126. I still have the title at 126, and will defend it in a fight this year,” Santa Cruz told reporters following Chris Colbert’s win over Tugstsogt Nyambayar in Carson, California. “Of course, if [Gary Russell Jr.] wants it. I want the fight too. Let's make it happen. He wants to fight. I want to fight. Let's tell our teams to talk and make the fight.”

A matchup between Santa Cruz (37-2-1, 19 KOs) and WBC super featherweight champion Russell (31-0, 18 KOs) is a fight that should be feasible and easily doable since both fighters are signed under the Premier Boxing Champions banner.

Santa Cruz, 32, and Russell, 32, have both expressed the desire to fight one another for quite some time, and the sand in the hourglass is diminishing by the day for a potential fight.

“We’ve been in the same weight division for the last four years, and I’ve had the title for the last four years,” Russell said last year. “What’s the reason for him not fighting me then? I have the most prestigious title there is in the sport of boxing, which is the WBC.

“So, I guess I’ve gotta push these guys’ backs against the wall and make them fight. And I’m actually getting to the point where I’m tired of picking on people that’s not willing to fight. I’m tired of picking on Leo Santa Cruz. If he don’t wanna fight, that’s not a problem. I’ll move up in weight, like I said. We’ve got bigger fish to fry.”

Russell has not fought since February 2020, a unanimous decision win over Nyambayar.

He’s fought just once a year since 2015.

If he’ll be fighting just once in 2021, Santa Cruz would be the most desirable opponent.

lsc needs this fight..gary russ applied pressure..got in your pops face and everything and you did nothing but wait for Al to hit you with a soft touch

I like Tank and I didn't buy his last PPV. shyt wasn't a fight worth paying $75 for unless it was for tickets to go to the actual fight, doesn't matter how good of a fight it turned out to be.

the charlos PPV i was more than happy to spend the money because it was focused matchmaking on paper and it had its moments

but all these other PPVs...and its only PBC/Showtime doing the majority of them....nah..if i dont think main event is worthy there should be something on the undercards that should at least try to convince...and if im not mistaken there were none

the only boxing PPV since boxing came back from the pandemic that i wish i did buy was the Triller one with Tyson and Jones cuz it restored the feelings for a brief period

PBC wants to be holding these off brand PPVs they need to throw them back in the theater regularly...ill pay 13 to 20 bucks for it like i had been doing for the last 3 years or so

at least with wilder vs fury 3 they finally got something right with the undercard so ill prolly will buy it if i dont find a theater

Teo’s my guy but with his wife pregnant, the whole covid controversy shyt, wasting a Star making victory year away… I’d stay away from a Loma Rematch. When Loma let his hands go the last half of that fight, his limited defensive skills got exposed and he was getting hurt. Didnt like his body language, he was blessed to be able to gut out , stun and edge Loma out in the 12th round

Teo is gonna knock him out if he gets aggressive early.

Right.. some fights just don't belong on ppv yet when they don't do great numbers folks always act shocked for some reason
