i won’t get on a soapbox or anything but the ppv model was the only way that they could monetize at that scale at that time. nowadays you’d probably just have a specialized streaming service dedicated to it ala DAZN but instead the sport is sort of split between big marquee PPVs and whatever gets left for hbo and showtime

the sport doesn’t draw enough numbers for cbs or whoever to pay money AND block out time to try and sell ads for it; that plus the marquee fights taking place around 11 pm est means that it’s poisonous to network tv

basically boxing was dealt two deathblows: a pennywise pound foolish attitude towards big fights and the very public and visible degeneration of one of the most well known and beloved athletes of the 60s and 70s

You worded that better than I did

That dude does not look like he was just in a boxing match, he looks like he's out for a casual jog, so I'm guessing he won.

He knocked a man down in an 8 round fight, but also it was a draw. 76-76

the only way Joshua loses this is if he rushes in and gets clipped

standing at range Pulev is nowhere near hitting him
