Acceptable price for PPV?

50-60 is fine for a genuine ppv involving 2 name fighters in a competitive fight. The issue is these uncompetive showcase fights that are put on ppv. Although I think someone should look at a Internet only streaming model where it's like $10 and cutout the networks could help make these mid range fights that the networks won't pay for but aren't ppv worthy.

Why is everyone charging $10 extra for HD? I watch BBC News Live in HD everyday without having to pay extra.

That is part of it, but in England it was on at roughly 5am. I bet a bunch of people slept through the live event. I doubt it. If they've bought the event, they would manage to stay up. Anyway, what does that have to do with anything I've said?

I'm a businessman of sorts but PPV prices make no sense to me. Fans paying $65 for a card that has one good fight and often 1 good name is just insane. Then again, maybe I'm correct and that type of this is hurting the sport. I think they should $29. My theory is that they will draw in a greater volume of fans over time and make up for the price by increasing the volume (and volume always wins because more fans= more stability and more avenues for revenue). But, WTF do I know...

Canelo-GGG will be $70 and $80 HD. Simple...should be $40 and $50 HD

Under $20 is a no brainer to buy. $20 to $30 would think about but likely buy. $30 or more... it better be a damn good fight and only if I have a big screen or a huge party around that event. $50+ they are charging now? No freaking way, especially with how easy it is to stream nowadays.

If you are paying subscription fee then fights should be FREE regardless of magnitude. They should make the rest of their money from advertising and not the consumer. via GIPHY

Since NSB is full of businessmen, particularly those involved with PPV no.s/projections and percentages. What do you think is a acceptable price for a PPV fight? Because $65 is a rip, and $100 for the may-PAC fight was incredulous. Who knows what they'll charge for Canelo-Golovkin, $150 with the virginity of my first born and the soul of my girlfriend's anus (long gone)? In a sport like boxing where we rarely see captivating fights anymore, I don't even think it's acceptable to pay for ANY fight. Boxing is in a terrible state. If it weren't for Kovalev/Ward we would be going a full year without a single great fight. I mean great as in two top fighters facing off.

My family ordered every tyson ppv, every de la hoya ppv, every pacquaio and floyd ppv except for their last fights, the bradly rubbermatch and berto fight were the first fights i never ordered or my family never ordered from floyd or manny. We will be ordering pacquiao vs vargas, that is going to be a good scrap plus the undercard is stacked.

$39.99 $9.99 - $15.99 for internet pay per views

May-Pac was a fight between two ATG's. $100 legit seemed reasonable, probably if it was earlier. $100 to watch two geezers throw 100 punches each wasn't worth it in retrospect.

$40 and I'm talking fights like Cotto-Canelo. Anything lesser like Canelo-Smith or GGG-Lemeiux should not be anywhere near PPV. I don't care if the price is $10 or $15. I already pay a subscription fee for HBO. But you also want me to pay for a fight that belongs on regular HBO? F*ck that.

4K television sets are cheaper nowadays than they were 2 years ago. Almost everybody is buying a new set. That's just American TV culture. For those that don't want to buy a new TV can go to a friend's or family's home to watch a particular event in better resolution. Those people might not know the technical jargin about HD or 4K, but what they do know is, the instant quality of today's sets. Therefore, when a particular individual whether to brag or not invites his family or friends to watch an event, the pride in hosting it justifies he or she purchasing the event. He or she can also buy beer and food, OR, people will bring and share knowing he or she purchased the PPV event. MOre importantly, if GBP and their Mexican star know that the can sell PPV at $65 bucks during ethnic holiday weekends that are unique to them, why does anybody else care? If it were $40 bucks like others say, then the difference of Mexican pride to add $25 more bucks is really a problem? Alvarez vs Smith was also $55 bucks for non HD, which is still a 720 stream. "HD" is 1080p provided by most cable providers. 4K bandwidth should hit soon by the end of next year. Did I elaborate enough? 720p is HD 1080p is Full HD 4k, or 3840p, is UHD (actually different, but same for comparison purposes) Most of our television infrastructure is generally incapable of broadcasting 1080p, majority of the 1080p content that is available is either via on demand or services such as Netflix. There's very little 4K capability today. If you're expecting 4K bandwidth to be available next year, you'll be sorely disappointed. Anywho - I vote for $50 for HD.

The only PPV i actually bought was GGG-Lemiuex and it was 60 for the HD version which isn't so bad.

I for one cant wait to pay $70 to watch manny vs vargas

Pretty much this. I think May/Pac was 20 quid over here and with all the people we had gathered, it cost less than a pound each lol In the US, PPV prices are inflated because people are stupid enough to pay it. That is part of it, but in England it was on at roughly 5am. I bet a bunch of people slept through the live event.

Yeah well UK commentary vs HBO or Showtime commentary? Worst stuff I've heard in a long time was Marv Albert on PBC such as the Quillin Lee bout... utter trash like UK commentary. Just keeping it real. You literally unblocked me to quote me with this rubbish? I'm supposed to be offended by this? Get back to the yard and keep drinking dingo.

$50 is fine IMO. If you don't put up a good fight then I just won't buy.

39.99 to 49.99 I think that is acceptable for boxing ppv

I wish all PPV's would be 40$ That's fair for me. I was going to say $40.00 for SD and $45.00 for HD. Good PPV's should be $45.00 SD and $50.00 HD. Anything higher than that is a ripoff to me.
