LoL @ "buying to send a message". Hah, that's funny. I bought the Benavidez-Morrell PPV, and it was good BUT, $80 is too much. These matchups aren't Mayweather vs Paquiao level and I really don't see many coming that will be that level. All promoters getting buys at these prices better enjoy it while it lasts. It will be joining the dinosaurs.
$25 for a PPV in this era is about right. And that's for only the biggest matchups. A lot of these other PPV promotions are reaches. Many of us love boxing. But we got much better fights on free TV back in the day (80's, 90's, etc). The world changes true enough but technology brings prices down not up. Only very special events are gonna be ale to sustain high-priced PPVs.
I enjoyed the run of PPV's that were also shown in IMAX theaters for $20 in the 20-teens (2012 - 2020). By far this was the best value and presentation for fans. A theater full of fans with food, popcorn, soft and hard drinks was awesome. IMAX screens are the best seat in the house by a mile. Promoters should be working to maximize this.
