Are any bars out there actually going to get the Davis/Barrios fight?
I have a homie who's a Tank fan and wants to see the fight tonight with me. I think his idea is to catch it at a bar somewhere, but are there actually sports bars out there that will even get this fight? I could be wrong but it seems unlikely. As far as PPVs go this seems like a fight for hardcore fans only. I mean the average sports bar casual sports fan probably doesn't even know who Davis is, and they sure as hell don't know who Barrios is.
In my experience sports bars only usually get the mega star attraction pay per views. Like Floyd (when he was fighting), Manny, Canelo. Guys like that. Of course they usually get all the big UFC cards, but boxing not so much.
Bars have to pay a very high price to air these events at their establishments (as most of you know it's not as simple as the bar paying $70 bucks or whatever and then putting it on all of their screens) and then they gotta charge a cover at the door. I find it hard to believe that any bars out there will be going through all of that for Davis/Barrios.
Heck tonight most folks walking through the door will only be interested in the Clippers/Suns game anyway and the bars will be getting that for free.
