It's always a cringe moment whenever one hears a young boxer aspire to fight on pay-per-view. What they're really saying when they mention that is that they hope to become successful like Floyd Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya and Mike Tyson, three of the greatest PPV stars in the sport's history.
PPV should not be the promised land, because unless you've got Mayweather-like talents and promotional ability, you're almost certainly not going to sell a lot. The odds are vast against any fighter reaching the Mayweather-De La Hoya-Tyson levels of PPV success.
Promoters will tell you, fairly, that pay-per-view is the most democratic form of broadcast sports: If you like the card, or the fighters on it, you pay to watch. But there is no subscription fee or any other fee required to see it. If you don't like the card, you don't have to buy it.
