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

Another fight I’m not buying and ******ing for free. Boxing fans are tired of this same business strategy these promoters and networks are doing.

this PPV sells 100k and then the headline is “Haney is a PPV star” to justified every other of his future fights to be on PPV. Delusional fighters and promoters think those days of boxing fans just ponying up $$$ every week to watch subpar material

This fight is definitely intriguing. I'm just through with paying for PPV cards....no matter how low the costs. The undercards are terrible.

I stopped buying PPV in 2007 for the same reason....garbage undercards. You will never find a bigger boxing fan than me, but I refuse to contribute to these promoters ripping off the fans. I'll never buy a PPV again. Period.

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

Jake Paul vs Fury is also more popular. Is it better? You rather pay for crap because it popular.

Agree but Im going to buy it.

It’s a widespread problem in boxing. Nobody will invest in the fighters, it’s always this cash grab mentality.

They’d rather have 50k paying than 5 million watching.

You just made my point. It doesnā€™t matter how good the fighters really are. Jake Paul gets ppv cause he has a huge fan base. Lomas amateur pedigree isnā€™t gonna get casuals hyped. Iā€™m not paying for **** lol. But thatā€™s boxing

Much better price, just wish they added Xander Zayas against Austin Trout or Richard Torrez stepping up against Sonny Conto.

IIRC both Zayas and Torrez are out due to injuries.

Anyways it feels like this is a waste of a Valdez fight; the Lopez rematch would've held weight if Lopez was getting better and winning but Lopez doesn't look to have gotten better since the Valdez fight, winning and losing in closely contested fights and then getting beat up and beat down by Abraham Nova in January. The only advantage Lopez is going to have is being more active than Valdez.

Lomachenko-Teo wouldn't have been a star-making performance if it was on PPV.

This is not a better fight than that. This is not a PPV fight. Undercard is two tuneups.

Is it worth $60 to you? Buy it. To me, it's not.

Just say the truth, you don't pay for any PPVs. You ****** them like majority of the people.

[buddyr]

This **** isn't worth $60. A 35 year old lightweight that looked like **** in his last fight against the undisputed champ at 24 years old. We all know what's going to happen.

I just said I’m not paying for anything lol. Of course I ****** them.

what are you confused about. Skillz don’t determine what’s ppv worthy.
