I remember being a kid and there being lower level PPV fights. IIRC, Hopkins had a PPV fight that was only like 20 bucks and Marquez had one that was like 25.
Is there a downside to having lower end PPV's?
I guess my logic here is that I'd definitely pay money for certain fights, but MOST PPV's are not worth the 60/70 dollar asking price.
Thoughts?
Greed is what happened, after seeing just how much numbers they did with the $100 Floyd Pac fight they decided the price doesn’t matter to people and they want to milk as much possible out the customer.
Maybe if they start happening more frequently the price will drop but most likely not.
prices of everything keeps increasing every year so ppv has to increase regardless of the quality of the show. but i do agree, there should be a lower price for ppv events that are not that big.
I get that.
I also feel like having lower priced PPV's will make fights happen quicker. Hypothetically, promoters wouldn't have to wait for a fight to build into the $60 PPV range
I guess they weren't making anymore money than they would on standard network, but limiting the audience. So it was actually hurting them.
If the fighter isn't popular enough for PPV then people aren't going to buy it whatever the price.
Yeah, that could definitely be the case. Was there ever one of the lower-end PPV's that performed very well? Or did they all bomb?
