It's more of the performance than anything that is remembered not by how big the audience is.

Ali-Frazier 3 was on HBO and so was Ali-Foreman, Foreman-Frazier, Hagler-Hearns, Arguello-Pryor, etc.

I really don't mind it being on PPV, since many of the boxers are taking considerable risk and deserve to get what they can get, if it means more money for them, then good for them.
