Comments Thread For: Haney-Lomachenko: Pay-Per-View Price Set At $59.99; Three Fights On May 20 Broadcast

I only have a budget to buy a few ppv's every year. This will not be one of them.

Who ever is saying this is not worth the PPV, but Tank and Ryan are worth 85 bucks is delusional.
Both Devin Haney and Loma are better fighters than Tank and Ryan. They are actually fighting for titles.
Ill bet this are the same guys who say Jake Paul vs Fury is better than Loma vs Haney fight, because they sell.
Jake Paul may sell more, but he still sucks.

Loma vs Haney > Tank vs Davis

[boxingitis]

Good fight but don’t see how this is ppv worthy

Why is Tank vs Ryan worth PPV?
Or Benavidez vs Plant.

Clearly Loma and Haney are better fighters then all the mention above.

It doesn’t matter who the better fighter is. It’s a popularity contest and tank vs Garcia is a casual paradise. Plant vs benevidez is borderline. This fight is not ppv at all as far as fanbases go

If it’s 200k buys, that’s almost 11 million dollars. Add whatever sponsors/gate and it’s 5 mil each fighter? Or however they break it down. I wish they put fighters on a channel that most people have so they could get recognition and build interest in the sport. I think it was teddy atlas saying each boxing ppv is like a going out of business sale and tries to max out money for the one fight rather than building the sport. Whatever, I’m not paying for this or the tank fight and hope I get a good ******. I wish I could afford every fight

Damn,never thought about it that way but Teddy is spot on. A lot of that has to do with the overvaluation fighters have of themselves once both PBC and DAZN started paying unsustainable,non recoupable purses. Especially to fighters who we all knew would never make a return on such investments.

The war chests have run dry and now were being forced to foot the bill....

Another Fight card unworthy of PPV.

At least this one has real belts on the line, no catch weights, no rehydrations clauses, no twitter thugs,tik tok models, purses or heels.

This sport continues its slow crawl down the hole of obscurity with every Subpar event it bilks the fans on.

I'm still going to catch this fight at my local sports bar for $15.

I did the math. $15 is less than $60.

Haney needs to put the hurt on Loma if he is going to be anywhere near a PPV star, doubt the 2 Kambosas fights won him many new fans.
Surprised this fight is PPV when Loma and Teo was not.

[MONGOOSE66]

Does this do over 100k buys?

ESPN would be better served putting this on regular ESPN IMO.

Dont get me wrong both fighters are damn good BUT come on, Loma needs a walker to make it to the ring. Waste of time. Haney SHOULD be fighting TANK but we all know tank dont take risks. He’ll force a REHYDRATION CLAUSE on pillow hands Haney cause he's so DANGEROUS with his power. Fkn millennial and GenZ boxers are a bunch if pooseys. Im EMBARRASSMENT for my favorite sport.
I tell people I watch badminton and competition cheer leading now.

Damn,your local sports bar will carry this fight?I'm in SoCal and it's nearly impossible to find a bar or restaurant that"ll purchase a boxing ppv card now. The local Bdubs will have all the major UFC fights but boxing?? Forget about it. I ask them if they're going to have so and so and I'm usually met with...."who"?!
