Went to the local bar for the fight (wouldn’t pay xtra for it either).  I hate the PPV business model (today) too.  Many mediocre matchups overpriced with crap undercards.  Streaming conglomerates (especially DAZN and ESPN+) were marketed as the “successor to PPV” - get all the fights (and other sports programming)  for one monthly premium.  No xtra costs for the “big” events - you were already paying for it.  Sad to see they all (Showtime, ESPN+, DAZN) are soaking us for more…. Promoters are selling “favorite fighter/personality” to the public instead of quality matchups.  PPV buys (numbers) aren’t what they used to be.  Heard PBC lost allot of money on Tank Davis’ last few PPV scraps.  Could be why Mayweather Promotions is “wanking” at Davis in social media (threatening to drop him as a promotion entity) after the upcoming Romero fight.  Probably just trying to sell drama because the numbers are poor.  I miss the days when the networks bid for quality matchups (HBO usually didn’t accept/buy mismatches).  Promoter/network exclusivity has diluted the sport in many respects.

That said, I’m buying Canelo/Bivol.  Hating the xtra $50 but I smell upset.

And agree about AJ.  Frank Bruno 2.0.…
