Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman-Mario Barrios Official For February 5 As FOX Pay-Per-View Headliner

[rickJen]

the entire article is about FOX Corp "REVENUE RISE AND AD SALES" in 2021 and they just so happen to list "PPV Boxing" as one of the reason why they had a revenue increase. Of course PPV benefits the fighters too because yes of course they do get more on PPV compared to fighting FOX or Fox Sports. Networks not making money off PPV is a LIE! They can make A LOT off of it if they're Providing their own OTT and/or D2C and their selling Ad Spots within their APPS.

Tell that nonsense to Showtime Espinoza.
Networks generally prefer to do it on regular subscription.
As explained in the link I provided, fights won't happen,
especially in this day and age, if they're not on PPV.
Fighters won't accept anything less than $1 million, which
was the average purse only few years ago.
Solution is to do it on PPV even knowing that they don't sell much.
This is not rocket science.

Seriously, these are going to bomb and they should.

I seriously don't think it's a bad card.

If they charge $75 I'm sure it will bomb. But if it's more reasonably priced? Who knows.

[Daniel Skillman]

Wait.
Who's Keith Thurman?

Yesterday I watched Parker/Chisora AND Zurdo/Gonzalez all part of my annual subscription to DAZN. Both of those fights, by themselves, are at minimum equal to these PBC ppv fights.

You ain't lying, shet seniesa vs santizo had more excitement than any leo fight I've seen lol. El Rayo vs Dulay was a great fight on Fox yesterday,gotta give em that. Valenzuela stole that show,dudes gonna be a player at lightweight.

Something tells me this card will be held jn AZ somewhere

[YoungManRumble]

PBC doesn't care about fans. They want money for garbage fights. Got a part timer vs a guy more concerned with his hair than winning a fight. Embarrassing.

Almost feels like that could be either guy lol.. Has Keef's ponytail ever come loose in a fight or does he always rock the braids?

The card is bombing.

There is no doubt at all about that.

I'd say 10K there or there abouts.

yeah it is not rocket science when a major network like FOX is reporting that they actually PROFIT from PPV Boxing (yes including a Ruiz vs Arreola fight that most considered a FLOP) while a fan wants to argue that they don't
Espinoza just had 2 PPV within the Last couple of Weeks with Tank Davis and now Jake Paul so yeah if PPV's was losing these Networks money like fans want to believe then they wouldn't be doing so many of them
