Is The Cruz vs. Roach Fight A PPV Value?

A Fight WBC Interim Light Wellterweight Champion ‘Pitbull’ Cruz and Lamont Roach Isa-Per-View for December 6 or December 20. PBC is reportedly on The Fight, WHICH HEADLINE POSSIBILITY WITH THE TEXAS.

Is This Fight PPV-Worthy?

Surprisingly, PBC Is Planning On Making Cruz vs. Roach As The Headliner on PBC, Given That It’s Only for Cruz’s WBC Interim 140-LB title. Fans Won’t Be Happy Paying to See Two Fighters for Battle An Interim Strap on Pay-Per-View. Unless The Undercard Is Stacked, This Event May Not Generate Many Ticket Sales.

And Rafael is Reporting That The Cruz-Roach Fight is planned. Roach (25-1-2, 10 Kos) Will Move Up From Lightweight to Challenge ‘Pitbull’ to His WBC Interim 140-LB title. Roach, 30, Is Still Riding High From His 12-Round Majority Draw Against Gervis Earlier this year on March 1.

Light Wellterweight Snubbed Contenders

There’s No Word to Why Roach is Being Used Rather Than One Of The Contenders From The WBC’s Top 15 rankings at Light Welterweight. It would make more sense to Allow One of These Fighters to Be Given The Shot At the Cruz’s Interim Strap:

Alberto Puello
Sandor Martin
Lindolfo Delgado
Adam Azim
Oscar Duarte
Jameaine Ortiz

WBA title Gathers Dust

The WBA Still hasn’t Stripped Roach Of His Super Featherweight title. His Last Defense of That Title Was 15 months ago, beating Feargal McCrory on Eighth-Round Technical Knockout on June 28, 2024.

I Bet The Contenders Top 15 At 130 Area Right About Now, Seeing Roach (25-1-2, 10 Kos) Freeze His Title While Goes and Collects Paychecks at the Division And Now Light Wellweight.

WBO’s Inaction Under Fire

The WBE Needs To Take Action To Free Up The Belt IF Roach Defending the title without the title. The Sanctioning Bodies Should Have A Automatically Strips Champions Who Temporarily Move Up or Down in Weight To Get Paydays, As It’s Not Fair To The Contenders. Their Careers Are Being Put On Hold While Roach Roams The Divisions Above for Above.

Cruz (28-3-1, 18 Kos) Captured The WBC Interim Title on July 19, 2025, Beating Omar Salcido A 10-round Unanimous Decision. The Scores Were 100-88, 99-89, and 99-89.
