Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury-Francis Ngannou: ESPN Announces PPV Price In United States Is $79.99

[turnedup]

The morons will still buy in irregardless of just how freely available this will be to watch when it happens. It’ll be everywhere to watch for free as it’s a crossover fight just learn how to look properly online.

No thanks. Not paying a dime for Tyson Fury's freak show, although I'm glad Ngannou is getting paid. Gonna be a stinker anyways, and the highlight reel will likely show every punch thrown because it's not going to be a long fight.

I CAN’T WAIT to not buy this PPV!

"True boxing fan boycott" would equate to all of about 10 people not watching it(hyperbole but still).

The reality is the majority of the money comes from casuals and they're lapping up the "hardest puncher in history" narrative and most likely want to see Fury KO'd after his behaviour of late.

In truth this probably works in Furys favour as he seems to thrive under intense criticism/pressure and if he's positioned as a heel rather than a hero going into the Usyk fight I think that'll be to his benefit as well.

The engagement across social media on their absolutely horrendous promo only goes to show how much that casuals lap this shít up.

Damn casuals!

Am I the only one that suspects that the Fury-Usyk announcement is just a ploy to create more interest in this farce and seem to make it more acceptable? No word on any negotiations, then it's suddenly announced as signed.

Your conspiracy theory doesn't make sense, Team Usyk has no motivation to help Fury like this.

I would pay $0.99

I wouldn't pay 0.99 yen

I wouldn't pay 0.99 yen

$79.99 = 12000 yen would've gotten me the Arena Stand seats plus a train ticket and change from my Japanese home to the Venue for last week's Shigeoka brothers double title bout.
Or, it will pay for the cheapest tickets for the Takuma Inoue fight in Japan.

Yay conversion rate being great for someone like me who gets paid in USD but works in Japan half the year.

I always just drop the two 0's off to do a quick conversion. I think yen to CAD is roughly 106?

I won $100 on a Shigeoka bros parlay. Any word on if Ioka/Estrada is being finalized for 12/31?

Where in the country are you?

Price means nothing to me. I'm going to watch this fight for free at my local sports bar.

Kanagawa, the prefecture right next to Tokyo.

Only rumor mill is still brewing, but the New Year Eve party for Ioka usually is a good opponent and the recent trend has a lot of unification fights expecially in the lower weights so I'm still hopeful. If anything I want the official word for the Dec 26th Inoue fight just to see how scary the lottery will be. Rumor says Fulton fight had 200k lottery entry for 15000 seat venue Ariake Arena.
