A fight will appeal to less people, as there are far fewer boxing fans than there are general movie fans so they need to bump the price to make the difference up.

    Although, it is pretty ridiculous.
    You wanna know what's funny?

    I actually wrote a Media Essay on a similar subject to this earlier. About how Media Institutions construct their audience, and used Boxing as an example of a narrow market

    Coincedence FTW!

        The coincedence.

        I had to write an essay earlier, and my essay was pretty much the exact same thing as I answered you with. Except longer, and was full of bollocks.

        Now, be quiet and get your clothes off...

          True. I have to wonder if they would end up making more money if they charged a bit less though. For me to spend 50 bucks on a PPV it has to be a big fight that I really want to see. If PPVs were only like 25 bucks I'd probably buy all of them so they would end up making more money off a guy like me. I wonder if they would see an increase in overall sales if they dropped the price a bit?

              And speaking of movie revenue, did you know that they offered Sean Connery the Gandolph role in Lord of The Rings? They offered him 15% of worldwide ticket revenue and he turned it down because he ‘didn’t understand the role’….that would have been $400million
              iTS SEAN CONNERY'S BIRTHDAY!!!!
