Comments Thread For: Wilder-Helenius: Price Point For FOX Sports PPV Show Same As Cost For Ruiz-Ortiz

[vitali1999]

BUMSQUAD is not ppv worthy. Only time I ever bought a BUMSQUAD wilder fight was 3 times against the Fury of Tyson. As I said all three times BUMSQUAD would lose, I rest on your face, I mean, I rest my case

You don’t come off two consecutive knockout losses charging this much for a PPV. He was never a PPV draw to begin with. Without Fury or AJ, he couldn’t sell a life raft to a castaway.

I think al has to pay for these fights out of his own pocket because fox isnt giving him any money.

I would have paid 300 dollars tor this fight. Go Helenius . You got this. Modern life rocky.

Then support it. Boxing doesn’t NEED PPV to stay afloat. This fight in particular doesn’t make or break boxing. The only reason this fight is even on PPV is because of Wilder & Plants purses. Dirrell & Helenius are low level opposition with zero crossover appeal. Plant & Wilder are being overpayed at the expense of those who are buying this crap

The undercard not really moving me, anytime I see Dirrell on the card I start to lose interest. As for the main event, I like Helenius and think he's talented but it's a bad matchup against Wilder. Just don't see Helenius winning it. I think I'll pass on this PPV but if there aren't any other cards televised that night who knows....

Should be free on network tv for maximum exposure. It will be lucky to break 200k buys.

Wrong! The PBC guys are betting on themselves. They only receive a bare minimum guarantee from Al Haymon unless they are fighting on either a network, cable or premium cable television because he is not a promoter.

They are only receiving a percentage from the fight's total gross and revenue on pay per view. Fox is only their distributor. So its out of pocket cost is zero.

The fighters have to pay Fox out of their own purse split in order to show the fight.

Ppv for a non title fight!?

You always stream your fights for free you broke muthafucka!

That’s not exactly supporting it , it’s reinforcing a boxing promotion to over charge a fight no one wants to see and they will keep doing it until the fans smarting up and completely boycott these events nearing 80 dollars . It hurts the actual boxing fans , if they were worried about supporting boxing they would have made the fight more accessible either lower price or completely free . If they aren’t worried about it why should we ?

[SN!PER]

Great fight, I'm buying the PPV and happy to see The Bronze Bomber in action again!
