Payout Perspective:
This will be an interesting experiment for Golden Boy as it dips its toe into MMA. According to multiple reports, tickets are selling at The Forum in Inglewood, California so there’s a chunk of MMA fans interested in seeing this fight. For $39.99, it may be a tough sell considering this built on just one fight on the card whereas most other MMA PPVs have at least 2-3 fights to sell.
