Haye v Bellew - 4/3/17 rd-by-rd

[Fenster]

Who is being conned? How do you determine what "deserves" to be PPV?

The vast majority of PPV buyers are not nerdy boxing fans that religiously follow the sport from top to bottom. As this thread proves, fights like this get shitloads more attention, from "proper" boxing fans, than most of the best fighters in the world. Why? Because people are buying entertainment, they buy into the characters (love or hate), the story, they expect a violent conclusion.

Anyone that doesn't understand what they're buying isn't a boxing fan. The vast majority of buyers will get what they expect - an enjoyable night of boxing.
