If one were to follow social media chatter in boxing circles, you almost wouldn't know the Charlo brothers were fighting this weekend in separate competitive bouts headlining a very good Pay-Per-View card. You'd only know you're expected to spend $75 on something.
Indeed Showtime put together the kind of deep PPV boxing fans have asked for seemingly for decades now, and various moving parts and variables -- the COVID-19 pandemic, a poor economy, social unrest -- lead to questioning the timing of such an endeavor.
On this (shorter) episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, Patrick Connor and Brin-Jonathan Butler join forces to discuss the issues behind the PPV and social media and boxing media backlash and/or support.
