We are a little over two weeks away from the first Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) PPV event for 2025, headlined by a light heavyweight clash between interim WBC champion David Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) and interim WBA champion David Morrell Jr. (11-0, 9 KOs). PPV.com recently revealed the cost of the event on their platform, which is $79.99. There were questions about whether PBC would continue to price their events over $70 considering the pressure of Turki Alalshikh pricing his events between $20-$40 as of late. The question has now been answered, with the only thing remaining to see if there is a negative effect on the number of PPV purchases. With the event having intriguing matchups, the price of the PPV may not matter.
Earlier in the week, PBC held a media workout, which had Benavidez, Brandon Figueroa, and Jeison Rosario answer questions about their upcoming fight and show off some of the things they have been doing in training camp. Benavidez, whose natural competitive character sells the fight on its own, said all the right things to keep the flame going as the event heads to fight week soon.
“This camp has been amazing and it’s gonna be my best performance yet. This is the strongest I’ve ever been. I’m excited to really showcase my skills in this fight. I had a lot of injuries and adversity going into that fight, but I went in there against one of the best in the world and showed I have a lot of heart. I’ve been in big fights since I was 20 years old, so to be out there representing the Mexican and Mexican-American people on this stage, it’s everything I’ve wanted out of this sport. I have to show people that I’m the real ‘Mexican Monster.’”
