Good question I spend a lot of money on Boxing every year I do not really know the amount. I would not have it any other way Boxing is my favorite thing in the world outside of my family.
Seems like I will spend the least amount ever this year. Too many fights that should be on regular HBO that are going to PPV that I don't feel like paying for or can't afford to pay for. Usually I have to buy the fight myself and get a 6 pack so we're talking $70 bucks per fight.
very low thousands
maybe i'd say shy of two grand
that includes gym membership
god willing the little equipment i own should last for a while but it wasn't free
cable / premium channels (which i wouldnt get otherwise)
ppv
tickets
hotels
ring magazine
and perhaps even airfare if the fight is right
totally worth it
boxing is a huge part of my life
i'll teach my sons to box and help them to grow into fans of the sport
i take unbelievable pride in my involvement with boxing
and my membership in its fanbase
Edit: i've started to "consult" online streams on occasion
a PPV that isnt worth your money shouldnt stuff the pockets of promotors and HBO
not paying for a ppv is a tremendous way to communicate with it's providers
it let's them know they've got to cut out the bull****
About 4-6 PPVs a year.
Will be paying for Cotto vs Mayorga
but wont pay for Shane vs Pac unless friends come over and chip in or I find a bar that has it.
promoters are like crack dealers and im like a crack fiend when it comes to boxing...they offer, i buy
let's see...each ppv is about $60...i buy about 3-4...plus drinks and food, about $100 per event
$640-700
christ :pat:
i gotta stop that sh1t
same here man i just realised today, after buying £200 worth or boxing equipment and £5 everyweek for boxing lessons and £30 a month for gym membership and every PPV aswell as food and drink and heck i only watch boxing on sky and thats £50 a month. and thats when i realised i spend way too much on boxing but its worth every penny. Abd then i got hit by a body shot and the same thing ran through my head why am i doing this?
I didn't go to any major fights last year. Just some local **** and amateur golden gloves regional.
So maybe $100? I bought a few PPVs and went to see Mayweather/Mosley(packed) and JMM-Diaz II (3 people) in theaters.
Varies.
Last year I spent quite a bit on collectibles and whatnot, spent around 600 - 800 pound on Eder Jofre fight posters, footage and other resources alone, then add a few other collectible stuff, events and getting the food / drink for everyone it turns out at around 1500 pound, probably quite a bit more even.
Tis worth every penny though.
probably about a G a year,on ppvs in boxing and ufc
is it worth it.all depends on the outcome of the fights! If they were all like Gatti/Ward than no doubt it's worth it,that's priceless!!
When they turn out like UFC 118 Toney vs Couture,or Mosley/Mora LOL HELL NO!!!
