Pretty sure I spent $5 in the first one, there was 20 of us.
Yes, if it's such a big fight that it could be sold for $100 because it has worldwide demand and it's even a topic in popular culture, TMZ, other sports athletes are talking and this popularity leads to lots of friends wanting to see it, I will pay $5 dollars again, or $10 if it's 10 people.
I have honestly never paid for a PPV event in my life.
JUST DO ONE OF THE 3 THINGS I ALWAYS DO!!!!
1) Watch the fight at the pub.
2) Watch the fight at the house of a friend who has paid for PPV.
3) Just search for and download the fight off the internet the next day.
& no matter who promoted it, theyd have to use the TR knockouts as ring girls. Those girls make the Tecate & Corona girls look like bull dykes.
They'd also have to scissor between bouts
The card would have to really, really be stacked

Yes if the Card is worth it. Why the hell would you not support a sport you love to follow?
I paid for the Pac vs Mayweather and many more the reason is simple. I am usually not watching it alone and everyone else provides food and DRANKS.
For the guy that says he would rather go than spend 100, plain stupid. For the Cotto Canelo fight I bought a round of drinks for 4 of us and paid 100 alone for that not to mention the 175 for my ticket.
maybe, but it'll have to be a heck of a show

It's a gamble cause boxing is under promoted it could end up with slightly higher numbers but if it's under promoted and the fighters arnt that known by casuals it will just lose money.
But hey are losing money anyways, and have under promoted event for 60 dollars a pop, Boxing, like many industries
, is left in the dust and antiquated.
It is madness.
For comparison, $100 is almost as much it would cost for an entire season of MLB.TV or a year of Netflix or Hulu or Amazon Prime or WWE Network.
At some point, it's not about how much money you have but whether you think it's worth it.
Exactly, I mean it's a month or more worth of wifi internet access. I don't understand the brains in charge of these types of decisions. The PPV model HAS to be hurting boxing
At least Haymon could understand, Gee if i have fights on regular network TV, Ill get more viewers eventually and more people will be exposed to boxing. ROCKET SCIEnce
I swear, if they would do 25 dollar ppv's, they would get more buys. End up making more overall than a 60 dollar PPV
They could market the hell out of that price"25 dollar PPV"!!!

I you have the bank roll it's not a huge expense. EVen if you have the money...
With the amount of free streams circulating around, I cannot justify anything over 50 dollars for a PPV event. It's madness.
