I know some of you here do that but if enough of you would do it, it wouldn’t worth it to the networks anymore and the PPV model would end up in the bin soon.What the hell you think we've been doing? Go to any fight thread and you'll see this combination
Obviously my post won’t change the dynamic but it’s funny how they charge you even for cards like Ortiz vs Martin, this was unimaginable even like 5-10 years ago. With pirating becoming more and more accessible at that, it’s crazy.
Overpaying is a real thing, networks make almost every half decent card a PPV cause they can’t pay the fighters otherwise with the increased purse demands.
Call me the bad guy for wanting fighters to take home less but if it stays like it is now imo it hurts the sport in the long term because it will reach less and less ppl by the day because of pay walls even on cards that are nothing special. It just doesn’t look sustainable unlike the “old” model where only a couple of true stars got the privilege to head PPV cards.
You don't have to tell me. Every fight on that card is a showcase. Esp the main event. If any of the favorites lose its an upset

Murtazaliev: Charlo, Tszyu Scared To Fight With Me; Winner Is Gonna Vacate IBF Title
BY KEITH IDEC
Published Fri Dec 23, 2022, 10:23 AM EST
LAS VEGAS – Bakhram Murtazaliev has stepped aside four times to allow three title unification fights and another mandated defense since he became the IBF’s mandatory challenger in the junior middleweight division.
The unbeaten Russian contender thus has no intention of allowing the winner of the Jermell Charlo-Tim Tszyu fight to defend the IBF 154-pound crown against someone other than him after they square off January 28. The 29-year-old Murtazaliev suspects, though, that he’ll fight for a vacant championship when he finally gets his title shot in 2023.
Murtazaliev (21-0, 15 KOs) made that bold claim after he easily out-boxed Mexican veteran Roberto Valenzuela Jr. (20-4, 19 KOs) to win an eight-round unanimous decision Saturday night at The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
“Both of them are scared to fight with me,” Murtazaliev told BoxingScene.com. “The winner is gonna vacate the IBF title.”
Charlo (35-1-1, 19 KOs), of Richmond, Texas, is scheduled to defend his IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO 154-pound championships against Australia’s Tszyu (21-0, 15 KOs) on January 28 in Las Vegas. Showtime will air Charlo-Tszyu as a main event from Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino’s Michelob ULTRA Arena.
“Within six, seven, eight rounds max,” Murtazaliev said, “Charlo will knock Tszyu out with a straight right.”
If the Charlo-Tszyu fight unfolds the way Murtazaliev predicted, the Oxnard, California resident hopes he is wrong about his perception of Charlo’s willingness to fight him. The 32-year-old Charlo is boxing’s first fully unified 154-pound champion of the four-belt era and is seventh on BoxingScene.com’s most recent pound-for-pound list.
“I would prefer to fight Charlo, of course,” Murtazaliev said. “If that were to happen, there would be four titles on the line, instead of just one title to fight someone else. Charlo would be ideal.”
Murtazaliev became the IBF’s mandatory challenger in the 154-pound division in March 2020, soon after Jeison Rosario upset Julian Williams by fifth-round technical knockout to win the IBF, IBO and WBA belts. He stepped aside to allow the Dominican Republic’s Rosario to fight Charlo, who knocked out Rosario in the eighth round of their title unification fight in September 2020.
Murtazaliev, who is promoted by Main Events, stepped aside twice more to enable Charlo to face former WBO champ Brian Castano in back-to-back title unification bouts. He has been forced to wait for his title shot yet again because the WBO’s mandatory challenger, Tszyu, will get his championship chance before Murtazaliev.
His victory over Valenzuela marked Murtazaliev’s fourth appearance on a Premier Boxing Champions undercard since he became the IBF’s mandatory challenger nearly three years ago. He was provided with those undercard slots in exchange for continually delaying his title shot.
“I feel they made a mistake because when I became the mandatory I was [27] years old and I didn’t have much experience,” Murtazaliev said. “Now, I’m [almost] 30 years old. I have a lot of experience. And for them, it will be very, very hard. Every year and every fight I am getting better.”
