The best way to combat price gouging is to increase demand by purchasing these PPV events in order for the prices to go down. Boxing fans can purchase at least one pay per view a year. You guys like to buy what you want and then beg for what you need.

you're an idiot

You think that if 1.5 million people buy this, that they'll lower the price of the next one? Hell no, they'll either keep it the same or raise it since they know they can sell it at that price. However, if few people buy it, they have 2 choices: raise the price again (hoping same base buy it) or lower the price (hoping more buy it, to offset the lower cost). There's only one way they end up lowering the price, and it's not if everybody buys it.

Did you say price gouging? The Haney/Loma fight was sold at a very reasonable price of $59.99. However at the same time, the fight only did 150,000 buys simply due to the fact that many of you so-called boxing fans just simply refused to purchase the fight.

The promoters and boxers don't have a choice but to price gouge due to low consumption. Since, so many of you boxing fans are streaming these pay per view fights for free; They are forced to overcharge the public in order to compensate for the loss profits and revenue from these fights.

I bought that fight. Stop assuming, you jackass. And I got a robbery from corrupt judges for my money.

And your logic, which barely deserves the name, is flat wrong.

It's beyond the pale that you're shilling for the greedy promoters. I say again. People like you are the ones killing the sport.

Oh yeah! I'm the idiot now? Then tell me who was the one who finished high school, college and worked in retail? I'll give you a little hint. It's sure as Hell weren't you

Are you seriously bragging on finishing college?? Can't even claim an advanced degree, or business ownership? No wonder you don't get it.

I think it sells 1.5 million. What is your other question?

this is the biggest fight in boxing since Canelo GGG 1.0, and even saying that, it won't sell more than 250-300k

Well that's good you bought the fight. However, the fight wasn't a robbery. It was a stalemate. What you Lomasexuals need to understand is that just because a fight is close doesn't necessarily mean your guy won.

It's just like in the words of the Mexican boxing great Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr who said: “Without sentimentality, Haney did win.” Those were his words not mine.

Moreover, I may be shilling for the promoters but I do know one thing. If fans continue to live stream these pay per view events for free; Then the promoters won't be in business very long because both them and the fighters would lose too much money as a result of it.

Don't you know that the organizers of this event were very mindful and aware of this fact once they decided to make this announcement public? That's why we have the $84.99 price tag. It's because neither fighter is popular among casual fans and most boxing fans are going to stream the fight for free anyhow.

It's not wise to be too presumptuous sir. Perhaps you should go back and complete your GED first and then enroll at your local community college in order to study a course in Economics 101. You should get it by then because I swear you don't know a damn thing about business.

Right back at you. You're the most presumptuous person in this thread. You assumed that I don't buy PPVs. You assume my education level. Unless you've got multiple doctorates I can assure you you're nowhere near my education level. I got paid to go to a top college on academic merit, and then was paid for my doctoral program too, and have earned several certifications since then. I got paid for decades to teach people how to get into business schools, law schools, medical schools, etc, and trained tutors to do the same at one of the biggest prep companies in the world. You don't know squat about people on this forum, and you need to keep your presumption in check.
