We are just a few weeks away from the inaugural Amazon Prime PPV event between Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman (30-1, 22 KOs) and WBO junior middleweight champion Tim Tszyu (24-0, 17 KOs). Although the price to watch the event on Amazon Prime PPV has yet to be revealed, PPV.com recently posted the price for the event on their platform to be $74.99. This price is around the average cost for boxing events in the last couple of years, regardless of whether the event merited such a price or not.
Amazon Prime’s deal with Premier Boxing Champions calls for 12 events this year, with the March 30 fight being the first one before the rumored May 4 battle between Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Jaime Munguia for the undisputed super middleweight title. Although fight fans haven’t had too many fights to talk about this year, they will have to dig deep into their pockets starting on March 30 through the summer, as every month, there will be at least one PPV.
For those who aren’t too familiar with the March 30 card, here is a brief description of what to expect that night from PBC.
The stacked inaugural four-fight PBC Pay-Per-View available on Prime Video is topped by two-time world champion Keith “One Time” Thurman dueling rising star and reigning world champion Tim Tszyu in the main event plus 140-pound world champion Rolando “Rolly” Romero and Mexican star Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz meeting in the co-main event on Saturday, March 30 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
“The pay-per-view will also see Cuban star and reigning WBA Middleweight World Champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara defend his belt against No. 1 rated mandatory challenger Michael Zerafa, plus all-action super welterweight sensation Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora will meet fast-charging contender Serhii Bohachuk for the vacant WBC Super Welterweight World Championship in the pay-per-view opener.
The card marks the debut event for PBC Pay-Per-View available through Prime Video since the parties announced a landmark, multiyear rights agreement in December. In addition to the PPV being available for purchase on Prime Video, regardless of Prime membership, fans will also be able to continue to access the telecast through traditional cable and satellite outlets.”
