Why PPV?

[MJ406]

yeah that's something you might wanna keep quiet, lol.

[Live Dog]

you don't think some of that popularity has to do with accessibility?

I'm sure it does

and if "money rules everything" why don't the other sports (baseball, basketball, football) use PPV, rather then show most of there big games (all star, playoffs) on basic cable?

The other sports don't need PPV as they get huge $ deals from the networks for the rights to broadcast their games.

[boojee]

pro baseball, basketball and football have network deals with ESPN and or ABC they make there money as well

and on top of it probably get more people to watch their sports

maybe the more popular sports you mentioned gets million$ in commercials

[MJ406]

yeah your both right, it's kind of a shame that Boxing is pushed back to the Premium channels and PPV

and it's probably a trend that will continue, because I dunno how well boxing is marketed towards the "casual fan" so to speak.

[rizkybizness]

It pisses me off how I rarely see boxing on Sportscenter or anything else on ESPN (besides WNF and FNF).

[MJ406]

yeah I've personally really started to notice it since not having HBO and Showtime anymore

o well, IMO post Mar-Cotto these upcoming months look kinda dull, hell all im really looking forward to are Clottey-Judah and Nate Campbell vs Guzman

plus like you said that Casamayor-Marquez PPV is pretty ridiculous, and I don't see the Pavlik-Hopkins catch weight fight that far behind it
