Fans Rip Garcia-Romero And Canelo-Scull PPVs Prices - 'Imagine Paying'

Boxing fans have ripped the Ryan Garcia vs. Rolly Romero and Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull PPVs prices.

Boxing fans will see the two cards take place in May, starting with Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando Romero on May 2nd. It is the first time that Garcia will enter the ring following his boxing ban that emerged after he beat Devin Haney. Garcia’s majority decision win became a no-contest after he failed VADA tests for Ostarine. Ryan denied taking any substances, but the New York State Athletic Commission did not see it that way, setting the narrative for a bigger Haney rematch.

Haney also boxes on the same card as Ryan and Romero against Jose Ramirez. The fight will take place at 147 as questions remain over Haney’s mindset. He was dropped three times in the Garcia fight, with his defensive skills exposed. It remains to be seen if Haney can mentally recover, especially since Ramirez is known for fighting on the front foot. Teofimo Lopez also appears on the card against Arnold Barboza Jr. He will defend his WBO Junior Welterweight Title after beating Steve Claggett in his last bout.

Canelo Alvarez will box in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the following day. He faces William Scull, knowing that a win makes him the Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion for the second time. In chief support, Jaime Munguia will box Bruno Surace in a rematch after having been stopped in their first fight. While the cards have big names, boxing fans were not happy with the price. The two cards are priced at $59.99 each, or $89.99 for both fights in a bundle. Boxing fans were unhappy since the Saudis have previously said they wanted a PPV price near $20.

“I dream of a PPV with a good price to make the fans happy and subscribe and get them to watch it legally. Usually when I see a high PPV, a lot of people go and watch the fight illegally and this is not healthy for boxing and the platform. What I will try to push is to have our Riyadh Season shows at less than £20 in England and less than $20 around the world.

“I would prefer to have one million fans subscribe and buy the PPV for £20 than less than 500,000 [for £40]. The people go around it illegally because the price is high. In the future, this will not build boxing. If I give the fans good fights at a good price then I will increase the fanbase. We have a plan for the future to have something like a league. We don’t discuss about the belts until now. But in my opinion around 68 world champions is a crazy number,” Turki Alalshikh said
