Anyone know the PPV buys for the barrera fight?

[spinksjinx]

It was a mandatory, sometimes big time fighters are forced to fight them. It is a clean act by Barrera and Golden Boy. Golden Boy could have gladly paid a donation to the organization in which Barrera holds the title to and have Fana step aside. But that would have been corrupt in itself and fighting a mandatory is anything BUT corrupt.

HAKKAR!!!!

About the Tyson-Williams fight,

If I remember correctly, the fight was also on showtime. But it had a ppv option to those who didn't want to order showtime. Even though ordering the damn channel was cheaper. I'm almost postive they did the same with Corrales/Freitas.

They do that with all major fights I believe...Which is cool of them and kudos for them to fool the public into paying extra when the channel costs just a few bucks.

They did it with Zab and Spinks as well...$24.95 is fair but when you are charging $49.95 for tyson/ettienne their is a problem (well a problem with the people who order it)

I think it is cool on Sho's part...They also released official dvd of Corrales vs Freitas....It's NICE

That was the case with the Etienne fight and with any America's Fight Night telecast.

However, the Williams fight fell on July 30, a Friday, and was strictly a PPV (which ****** for those of us who were buying the next night's Morales card as well)

The next week, they replayed Tyson-Williams at the front of the Corrales-Freitas fight for free.

You do realize you can call your satellite people, and pay for ONE DAY of Showtime to get the fight, and that's all you owe? Twelve bucks divided by 30 days...and no service charge (at least in directv's case; I've added and removed channels a handful of times at no charge)

24.95 and you get one more undercard, that's it...

Did you read it's cool of them to fool the public?

I have showtime and it only costs me 4 dollars a month, which isnt bad.....But in the case of someone who doesnt have it $24.95 isnt crazy but ****** when you can do exactly what you say...Infact if you got digital cable and can order through a remote hit the damn thing to order when the fight starts and when it is over and call the cable company and be like hey, I hit it by accident...I dont want this boom....

[Round 1]

These big guys are always playing with the numbers to their benefit.
Here in El Paso, where the fight was held, we were told that the fight was going to be blacked out for PPV locally. If you wanted to see the fight, you better pay to and go to the venue.
On Sat.morning, they announced that the event was sold-out and for everybody else to hurry-up and order the PPV service.
The event was two thousand tickets short of selling out. 10,100 tickets sold on a 12,000 capacity arena.
So who's fooling who here, when they release the PPV numbers, they are going to inflate these figures to make it sound like a huge success, and of course they will include PPV buys in Africa to justify their numbers.
Round 1.

Hey round 1. That's awesome that you are from el paso because so am I. I was also at the fight on saturday and I had a good time. I believe the best fight was the Montiel--hernandez fight. Montiel was freaking awesome!!!! The way he was using the ring and his foot work was awesome. He had tremendous handspeed also. He is the real deal!! Fana was twitching after MAB layed him out. Actually felt bad for the african cause that was a brutal knockout.

Hey round 1 if you don't mind where do you live? I live in the northeast next to andress high school.

I'm just curious cause I find it cool that 2 people from el paso are on boxingscene. I'm also 20 years old and attend EPCC. I'm thinking about starting to train at SAN JUAN gym. Know anything about it?
