What is the criteria for PPV?

First topic message reminder :

I ordered the fight in at the weekend, what an idiot I am. The card got progressively worse. Callum Smith's fight was brilliant in that it was a real step-up and people looked on with genuine interest. Quigg, Joshua, Groves, De Gale and the main event were all awful fights. Both in competitiveness and standard of action.

So what is a justification for PPV?

Haye vs Wlad, on paper at least, was PPV worthy with belts on the line in the sports main weight class. It ended up being a PPV disaster due to Haye's inability to throw anything meaningful until the last round.

Floyd is the biggest name in the sport but people probably wouldn't pay to see him because he's so much better than anyone out there and people feel they know the outcome. Only a fight with Manny would be PPV worthy this side of the Atlantic.

The above examples include the sports main weight and a main star.

Truss correctly said that Khan has a massive Asian market so it makes sense to market him in the past as PPV, whether we like it or not. So is the target audience and interest in a fighter enough to make it PPV?

So what in your eyes makes a fight PPV worthy? I genuinely don't know so would be interested to see what you all think.

Groves vs DeGale main event
Cleverly - Bellew II
Scott Quigg - Kid Galahad
Callum Smith - Rocky Fielding
AJ - Tony Thompson.

No it still shouldn't be PPV, it's a normal domestic boxing card (Unless Groves, Degale hold titles at the time.)
PPV should be held for the cream of the crop and the massive fights. If your going to accept domestic PPV's then the future ain't that bright.

Don't know if this has been posted before, but be interesting to bookmark eddie's quotes. He pretty much says which fights next year will and won't be ppv. Let's see what actually happens.

HecSeems to think the sales were a big success so I think we can expect more to come.
