It’s just weird how the biggest events in the world can be non-PPV like the World Cup etc, but somehow boxing needs to be an expensive PPV. If you’re already paying a subscription then that should be enough.

Why are people opposed to spending MORE of our hard earned money on top of what we ALREADY pay? Isn’t it obvious

Because the most any fight is worth to me is about $20. Otherwise I will just watch it the next day and check for updates during the actual fight.

Boxing Fans act like Boxing is not for Entertainment and as if it is some sort of Utility Bill or something
PPVs have always been needed to pay fighters what networks can't pay. No network was going to put up a 10M license fee for Crawford/Porter. If the PPV tanks? Then both fighters will return to ESPN/FOX/etc and their purse will be smaller.sicko likes this.

Yeah, this is perfectly fine as well. Do you try to find streams or don't really do that? If not, you should try that. Some good streaming sites that air all the PPVs and just in general fights all over the world.
Honestly it's never really been worth the trouble for me to try and find a fight stream. I caught bits and pieces of a few fights like that but it's hard with the buffering.
The fact that I can rewatch the whole thing the next day on Youtube in under an hour is hard to beat. Any other sport, and I could never find the replay and even if I did, it would be over 2 hours from start to finish.

For you, it does not make sense to buy all the PPVs or even most of them, but you can still watch the fights on streams. This isn't the 90s or the early 00s, almost all of these PPVs are streamed and available for the fans.
