Someone explain this to me

[Ryn0]

dude, rewatch the old power rangers. not the ****ty new ones. the Pink Ranger, Kimberley, shes hot. no wonder I liked her as a kid.

I liked the green ranger more than the white ranger, cause he had that badass flute and that godzilla jackass monster.

and oh yea, I dont know why $50 is such a magical number for PPVs. I mean really, that number makes me sick. they need to bring the price down. only really high profile fights should be that much. no one is gonna buy a lesser ppv when its 50 bucks...

The Zord and the flute man!, and the enemies ZED and Rita Repulsa (was that her name?)

well **** work doesnt get out till 5 so you got fuck off somehow..

That's an awesome thought.

Yeah but it will likely never happen.

Why is it that we have to dish out $50 (PPVs) to watch something that only costs tens of millions of dollars to produce, while on the other hand, we only have to pay (on average) about $10 to watch a movie that costs hundreds of millions of dollars?


I am not referring to a specific match or movie but for the sake of argument, let's use Mayweather-Hatton and The Dark Knight as examples.

Why? Because they've discovered that people will pay it, that's why. When people stop paying that price for a PPV "event", they'll start getting right with their prices.

Also consider that the promoters end up with the lion's share of any profits. I don't believe in socialism, but I really would like to see a cap on the money these guys make from their fighters. Anything over 10% after reasonable expenses is robbery and they should be prosecuted. Some of these pricks have taken 50% or more of their fighter's money, all of it in a few instances, and Don King is one of the leaders of the robber barons. Killing is too good for that bastard, I tell you.

True, what's ironic is I was talking about the same thing in my economics class today and how to calculate what will happen when you change price (whether you'll make more profit or less) using Price elasticity of Demand...... but I need to have a test subject to calculate it (i need to know the change in demand)

That's Interesting. I figured that there was some equation for this. Unfortunately it would be extremely hard to calculate this.

There was also that juiced about skeleton muscle monster guy...him and Rita got married somehow, which was just ****ing weird. I loved it. whenever Rita talked it never seemed like her mouth matched the words she was saying, maybe Im just remembering wrong tho

Because millions go to watch a movie at the cinema and millions more buy the dvd. Movies have a much larger audience so they can sell them cheap and still make a profit

couldnt stop laughing at the pic u got of paul williams..s**t funny.

I guess you would need to break it down too how much the promotion costs, the purse for both fighters, the portion that goes to the promotion company, the officiatiing costs
They fight all their lives sometimes for peanuts. Not all fighters get the chance to be on a PPV event and get paid for it. SO when they do get the chance when their name is a draw they take advantage of it. It is what it is. You should do what I do if paying the $50 bothers you that much I usually invite a few friends over the house order some food get a case or two have the PS3 going and each one of the fellas contributes. Usually 4 of us we spend about $50 on food and beer and $50 on the fight. I usually pay for the fight and they get the cost on the beer and the food. It is what it is my man.
