MAyweather 4th all time in PPV sales

[WelshDevilRob]

Boxing has gone along way since the days of Barry McGuigan getting 19 million viewers fighting Eusebio Pedroza in a soccer stadium.

What number is Floyd on the list of actual viewers? Pretty lowdown I would have thought.

I know it's true largely because of Pay Per View I'll doubt we'll ever see a big fight wit 19 million viewers ever again! unless boxing goes back to free to air television stations permanently! A new business model is required, if only there was a way to get rid of PPV fights boxing could easily become one of the most successful sports again as it's not that people find it not entertaining it's that it is not accessible.

I mean in england they had Prem Plus which was a Pay Per View Soccer/ Football channel soccer is the national sport and this channel still flopped! people already pay subscriptions for their satelite or cable they do not want to pay an additional fee for a sport.

Pay Per View is Killing Boxing! this doesn't detract from the fact that Floyd is clearly the biggest draw in the current climate.
