The last ppv I paid full price for would have been a Lennox fight a long time ago
Lyle I'd bet a lot of money 80% of us here are purist hardcore fans who admire the sweet science (I certainly am) however lets look at the ppv figures from now and then in the Heavyweights then ask yourself how many Heavyweights the man in the street could name right now?
Fuck me in England he'd say Anthony Joshua not the reigning champion Wlad and the reason is that nobody watches Wladimir because he doesn't entertain which is what the heavyweights is all about.
Big fighters with KO power... this is why people (casual fans) tune in.
I said earlier that the Heavyweights died the night Lennox and Vitali finished, maybe Joshua can bring it back but he can't do it alone because apart from the hugely dubious Wilder who else will bring the casual fans back?
Fury to some extent but that's because of his mouth not his boxing.
I doubt we will ever see the Heavies as good as the era in the thread title again.
