Ortiz vs. Martin is PPV?! Are you kidding me?!

Imagine if Hearn was putting this on PPV, his haters on here would explode with rage This is actually the exact type of fight Hearn puts on PPV. Two top ten heavyweights in an eliminator would absolutely be a PPV in Hearn's world. Parker, Whyte, Chisora, Usyk etc were all PPV in non-title fights.

Imagine if Hearn was putting this on PPV, his haters on here would explode with rage :lol1: Ortiz, who’s only notable fights were getting KO’d by Wilder, and Martin, who’s only notable fight is getting absolutely flattened by AJ. However, as it’s not a Hearn card, it’s suddenly ok as the market can decide and ‘nobody is making you buy it’. The bias on here is unreal :lol1::lol1:

wait, on one hand you claim to have enough money to bet $1,000,000 on Wilder, but then you also claim to charge "friends" $10 bucks to come over for a fight? I can't stop them from paypal'ing me. I think they do it because they think it's funny we've been splitting PPVs like this for 30 years. In fairness, when I go to one of their houses for a fight, I paypal them too. I'm glad I dont have any friends like you. My friends would just maybe bring wings or pizza or booze or something (or nothing at all) and I dont need to have a cover charge at my house. Nobody brings anything over. Whoever hosts the fight supplies all the food and booze. That's how we've always done it since we were kids (host supplied food & soda back then).

If you're telling the truth, you'll make a LOT of money. So let's bet. $100,000 says I can supply cable bills showing several PPVs ordered in the last two years with paypal transactions showing friends chipped in towards the PPVs. If I'm lying, you get 100k, if you're lying I get 100k. Deal? wait, on one hand you claim to have enough money to bet $1,000,000 on Wilder, but then you also claim to charge "friends" $10 bucks to come over for a fight? I'm glad I dont have any friends like you. My friends would just maybe bring wings or pizza or booze or something (or nothing at all) and I dont need to have a cover charge at my house.

Why would it be limited ? Most posters will be watching the ones who don’t will be picking their noses instead thinking they won something . Just by you asking the question shows me you most likely have nothing going for you on a Saturday night. I seriously doubt most posters on here will have nothing better to do than sit on the couch thinking they shoulda Payed to watch a fight that has No business being PPV. I won't. But hey . Enjoy Thurman vs Barrios.

$20 in Australia. No, it shouldn't be PPV. But the fact I'll pay for it shows why it is.

Dude,what are you not getting? I don't have an issue with PPV's! I have paid and will continue to pay for PPV's that I feel worthy/necessary like Canelo vs Golovkin or say Fury vs Wilder...it's the NUMBER of PPV's being shoved down our throats by PBC,why are you having a hard time understanding that? Fox did two PPVs this year, plus one co-PPV with ESPN. PBC overall did 5 PPVs this year, plus one co-PPV with ESPN. It's really not that many and nobody is saying you have to order all of them. I order the ones that interest me and skip the ones that don't interest me. You don't find having to pay $600 a year in ppvs alone ridiculously excessive?? I think I ordered two PPVs this year and my share was $40.

Part of the problem is that boxing is a niche sport, you're not going to get advertisers paying big money to advertise so most networks won't be providing enough financial backing to support the cards most boxing fans want. Instead you'll get Vito Mielnicki and Joey Spencer in showcase fights on Christmas night. Add in the mix a pandemic that can threaten cards and live gates, and inflation where everything costs more.... PBC has FOX and Showtime, if they don't want to pay for a certain fight then PBC's other option is the PPV (which they have to provide anyway). I rarely am moved to get PPVs, in the past year I got the Charlo doubleheader and the Fury/Wilder fight. I'll be getting this one, it's less than $40, on a night that I want to watch boxing and has some interesting HW action. I look forward to some KOs.

The people who say this are the ones we know purchase it . It’s also New Year’s Day you ain’t going to stop fidgeting pacing back and forth looking at the t.v and you’ll cave in . Sorry buddy. You're options on things to do on New years day may be limited to paying for a fight that has no business on PPV. But not me. Enjoy

You sound like my mom, who is just vehemently opposed to PPV no matter the fight or the price. It's certainly your right to "boycott" PPV, but people have been boycotting PPV for 40 years and it's not going anywhere. Before that there was closed circuit. At least with PPV a bunch of friends can split the show or take turns on who orders. In the closed circuit days, EVERYONE had to buy a ticket. These guys get punched in the face for a living. They literally risk their life in the ring. You're not going to get big fights without paying in one form or another. PPV is a moral battle in your mind. That's cool. I'd rather have a good time on New Year's. Dude,what are you not getting? I don't have an issue with PPV's!

You don't find having to pay $600 a year in ppvs alone ridiculously excessive?? Like I said,Top Rank,GBP and DAZN/Match have found ways to give us the same quality,if not better,content at a fraction of the cost. Why hast/can't PBCHaymon been able to the same?

It was free to anyone that already had a subscription. And King Kong vs Prince Charles is free to anyone that already ordered Frankie Sanchez vs Christian Hammer.

A subscription to a channel and a PPV are entirely different. Yes, they are different, but you lied and said Tua-Ibeabuchi was free. That's not true.

Boxing fans used to get fights like Tua-Ibeabuchi for free That fight was on HBO, which had an MSRP of $15.99 back then. Adjusted for inflation, that's $28 now. An HBO broadcast would typically only be two fights. This PPV is FIVE fights. It's way easier to get friends excited about a fight and want to have a party if it's a pay-per-view and not a two fight HBO telecast.

It's not about the money,I can afford them and I'm not tacky enough to ask family and friends even if I couldn't. I'm not paying for these ppvs because all it does is encourage PBC to continue to strong arm us into grossly overpaying for thier content,simple as that.

It's a $39 PPV. Have a few friends over and it's $10 per person for five hours of commercial free heavyweight action. It works out well for Fox. It encourages people to download their app. They get paid a distribution fee for the PPV. More importantly, it creates a four hour show that the public perceives as a "premium" event that can then be replayed in full many many times on FS1 and FS2.

Isn't Charles Martin one of Anthony Joshua's biggest wins? aj farted in his direction and he was knocked out. no, it wasnt one of his biggest wins. .

There's no gun to your head. If it's not worth the money to you, so be it. I'm gonna have a great time Saturday night. Part of Haymon's network deal is that Fox wants PPVs. It gives them 4-5 hour shows that they can replay on cable a million times afterwards. That's the problem! As a fan of the sport,I WANT to be able to watch these fights and LIVE but I'm being denied that because I'm being forced into paying ppv prices to do so. I wanted to watch all of PBC's ppv fights last year and this coming year but paying what,$600-$700/yr is absolutely highway robbery is it not? And yes,I'm sure FOX is head over heels for Arreola/Ruiz,Ortiz vs Martin and Thurman vs Barrios type PPV's....give me a break.

Please send an email with the contact info of your attorney to: wbcwbaibf yahoo com Thanks. You don't need a contract, surely this formal correspondence should be sufficient. Now put 1 million in to an escro. Get on with it chief I'm a busy man. You got 24 hours..

Or........how about us fans who refuse to be strong armed by PBC into paying ppv prices,$40-$80 is irrelevant,for fights that Top Rank,GB and DAZN regularly gives us on basic cable/network TV? Tell your daddy Haymon to hurry tf up and secure a network deal so this bullshiet can come to an end. There's no gun to your head. If it's not worth the money to you, so be it. I'm gonna have a great time Saturday night. Part of Haymon's network deal is that Fox wants PPVs. It gives them 4-5 hour shows that they can replay on cable a million times afterwards.

Awful lot of dick measuring in this thread js.
