Not many people are gonna watch Mayweather/DLH

[Dimebar]

Nobody knows these guys and nobody is interested in boxing.

It's not PPV outside of America and Hispanic countries because nobody would buy it.

It's not PPV in UK because it wouldn't have 50 buys.

OK, congratulations on completely missing my point there.

What I'm saying is that whilst ppv records stand at 2 million people - 2 MILLION PEOPLE IS NOT A LOT

Eastenders (a British soap opera on four times a week) gets 8 million viewer EVERY TIME IT'S ON.

If ppv's were cheaper perhaps more people would buy them and the promoters would actually make more money. In a country as big as America a fight as big as this should be hitting 20, 30 even 50 million buys. Not 2.

This just means that there's alot of gay dudes in Britian that watch soaps unless there is 8 million women, if so im on my first plane there...............(im jokin wire)

It's definately PPV in Australia... $550 Australian ($500 US dollars) for a sports bar to show it. Not sure how much for a household down here, but it'd be about $50.

If the fight is going to break previous PPV records, despite its high asking price......then it will be a huge success.

Obviously, whether Europeans are gonna buy it or not- DOESN'T MATTER.

50 Million?

What the **** are you smoking?

Because you haven't a clue, not a single ****ing clue on market logistics.

Now, sit back for a minute, and take a nice big whiff of "common sense", followed by a healthy dose "reality"

[Sin City]

1 PPV buy doesn't equal one viewer.. I am gonna have at least 15 people at my house!

[GunStar]

im sure theirs going to me 12 million mexicans in this country watching that fight supporting their fighter.

Most Mexicans can't afford it!

[paulstokes2432]

just so wire doesn't get everybody on his case i'll just try and point out what i think his point is and that is that because it's so expensive only boxing fans will pay to watch and not every man and his dog will tune in like would've done when big fights where not ppv. Its not on ppv here in the Uk because it wouldnt have sold well at all.

[THEBADBOY BG]

Most ***gots like me cant afford it

..............

Are you buying the fight or you're going to watch it with your 50 family members in the back of your van?
