I touched on it just now. The quality of the fight isn't really a major factor as to whether something is PPV, it's the pantomime around it and whether you can sell it. Bellew and Haye both talk a good game and given their profile it was going to sell well regardless.
I agree with you, it's just a shame that so many people get drawn in by the spectacle. I'm a boxing fan but I wouldn't call myself massively knowledgeable about the sport, yet I'd like to think I know the difference between a fight that is worth paying for and one that the boxers have just talked into a good fight. It's a bit like being taken in by a scam, you'd think most people would have enough common sense to know it's too good to be true.
