Comments Thread For: Thurman-Barrios: PBC, FOX Sports Pay-Per-View Show Will Cost $74.95

I'll probably end up purchasing just to see the return of Terremoto Cruz but this main event is very underwhelming. Nery-Castro and Ramos-Lopez will be a barnburners for sure though so all in all not my worst ppv buy lol.

How f***ing much?!!!

Feel sorry for you guys over there. I regularly complain about the **** we get served in the UK for £20-25 (someone exchange to the dollar for me…), but Christ…

I’m about to go radical, here, but vote with your TV remotes. If you’re desperate to watch it, stream it. As fans, we have collective power to withhold consumption when the price/product ain’t right, and we’ve got to look after our collective interests.

Hit the MFs where it hurts, only way they’ll learn.

With PBC recent ****ty ppv #'s of late, it looks like we're slowly but surely gaining steam with this movement. I'm even seeing staunch PBC posters on here slowly starting to see,and be fed up with,the ppv exploitation from PBC. This one will surely bomb and will probably never get an official number but I think if that attitude and low buys can carry over to the Spence vs Ugas PPV?? That would certainly get thier attention if it already hasn't. Little by little were gaining steam here boys...CHOOO CHOOOOOOO!!

Apparently Fox does not want to pay millions for content that is guaranteed to lose them the ratings war 100% of the time in the most premium media slot in the world: North America broadcast TV Friday and Saturday evening. PBC has gained zero traction over the last few years. Reruns of The Simpsons and Sienfield do better ratings.

I always thought these were less premium television slots to be honest. Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings are those where people are most likely to be home and watching TV. Friday and Sat evening people are typically out having dinner, going to movies, etc.

I don't disagree with the rest of the post however...in fact it's telling that live content boxing fares so poorly even on less competitive nights on television.

Won't be ordering this PPV. I used to enjoy Thurman at one point but he's just not relevant anymore. Barrios hasn't really established himself other than being fortunate to beat Akhmedov and getting stopped by a lightweight.

It may be a decent undercard but you're asking me to pay $75 when I can go over to DAZN and watch a guaranteed war when SSR and Cuadras square off. It's just gonna happen.

Has boxing turned into a Mexcan Cartel Laundry service ?

That is funny if that is true since 99% of boxing is Fri and Sat evening. Few cards have large live attendance, even worse with covid. Also a 2-3 hour program would be awkward to schedule with time zones Mon-Thurs evening.
