    Notice it's the frauds like Davis and Wilder who are saying things like this. Like they have to tear down other greats to up themselves, probably because they have self-doubts and know they're garbage.

    You don't see guys like Fury, Crawford, Canelo tearing down past greats, because they're pretty secure.

    As I was saying I've no idea why Mike even comes into Tanks mind.

    He might as well tell everyone he's better than ......Chael Sonnen.

    Where's the link?.

    Tyson was asked if Tank reminds him of himself. Mike said something like: "Outside of us both getting in trouble with the law, not really."

    Tank responded to the Tweet saying: "That's right. Because I'm more skilled."

    Ffs..... Its not even a put down.

    There's just no obvious comparison.

    Tank, for openers, is left handed.

    Both short, stocky knockout punchers who came from the gutter with bad boy images. There was always gonna be obvious comparisons... to casuals at least.

    Fury has done that multiple times, but I get your point.

    I've never heard it. Well, I know he views Ali and Mike like Gods and would never say anything about them. Perhaps he's put down others.

    Wouldn’t it be hilarious after Tank said that crap if Ryan ends up beating him? Lol. Tank would never live that down.

    That's $15 cheaper than I thought it would be. I expected $100.

    Benavidez-Plant was $74.99.

    I'm not sure what the big surprise outrage is about. Like on Eastside there's a whole thread about the price.

    Davis vs Rolly, which I ordered last year, was $74.99. Ryan is a much bigger star than Rolly, obviously this one was gonna be more expensive.

    The $85-$100 PPV is nothing new. Not sure what's so surprising. Of course it's too fucking expensive, but I don't get why ppl are shocked.

    I really don't get the whole crying over PPVs thing, and the "I'm too good to order" PPV mentality.

    Most of us waste $100 in a day on shit we don't even like.

    Yall are on here complaining about shelling out around $100 like 2-3 times per YEAR (year!) on a sport we love and on fighters we support and enjoy watching.

    It makes no fucking sense to me. Like if that's your thing, cool, my problem is then those fans talk down on fans who do order.

    Like bro, the average person in the U.S. or UK blows $100 in a few days on junk food. What's the big deal about spending that money on a fight like 2 times annually?

    Are boxing PPVs too expensive? Yes. But everything in life, and especially in the sports and entertainment realm is too fucking expensive. Name for me some things that are reasonably priced nowadays. It's not the 90s anymore when life in general was more affordable. Everything costs.

    I watched Benavidez and Plant go to war on Sat night and felt actually kind of proud that a portion of the money I paid will line their pockets. They deserve it.

    You guys will sit up here and enjoy the brutality of two cats putting it all the line, then simultaneously brag that you did nothing to contribute to their purses.

    I just don't get it. It's $100, ok...

    It's not a fucking mortgage/rent payment.

    Last thing: I don't really much care when people brag about pirating big time movies. For one, because Hollywood is filled with pieces of shit. Two, because stars like Tom Cruise and Will Smith are financially set for several GENERATIONS to come, whether people pirate their stuff or not.

    It's different when fans brag about pirating fights, because most boxers are not financially set for life. And unlike faggots like Cruise and Smith who just act, we're talking about cats who get in their and risk their health for our viewing enjoyment.

    Food for thought.

    Oh dont get me wrong, i get your point. 100$ is not that much considering that if I go to a restaurant, ill probably pay
    more than that for the night. Still, since free streams are so easily accessible, i dont really see the need to buy a ppv. And since pretty much all the money goes to the two stars at the top, who for the most part are already millionnaires, i don't feel bad about not paying

    I wasn't really attacking you personally. I was targeting the fans that say shit like: "You still order PPVs?? For that price? I would never!"

    Meanwhile, those guys have probably dropped $100 in a day or two on silly shit.

    I'm just shocked by the comparative pricing. Over here most stuff falls into the £29.99 or under category.

    There's no doubt ppv would be cheaper if there weren't so many felons out there stealing it.

    The sooner the PPV model does, the better it'll be for the sport.

    And all of the fighters who regularly get on PPV will only go broke through poor spending habits. They'll otherwise be set for life.

    PPV is killing what the 'little' guy earns.

    Streaming is good for the sport.
