$15 is a max and for a solid main event and several good undercards and on a big screen as far as I am concerned......this was supposed to be on TV in the 1st place if you remember correctly.Comment

Yea right. First of all, what are you even doing on the net on a Saturday? Do you always go against the law of your people?
Second...
Many feel that a Klitschko fight these days isn't even worth 15 dollars. Not to mention many of the people on this site probably don't even have a credit card or bank account to pay for it anyway.
Id pay for it, but I dont think I'll have time to watch it today. Should I choose to watch I'll order it.Comment

You know it's funny to make a comparison between boxing fans and other mainstream sports fans in the sense that every other major sport in America has the majority, if not all, of the events on free cable.
NFL, NBA, etc. offer MOST games locally for free, and even those games that play on subscription packages usually cost the same as one or two boxing PPV's.
In boxing, if we only have 5 major PPV's a year- at $60.00, that's still $300.00
Factor in that most of us here buy an HBO or Showtime package at $10.00 or more a month, and that's another $120.00
That's, for your average boxing fan that streams most non-major or international (like this one) events, still an annual contribution of around $420.00.
That's fucking unheard of for the fans of many other major sports. In fact, I'd say- on average- the nature of boxing requires us to shell out much MORE than other sports.
This is the main argument over why boxing PPV's undercards need to be more stacked, why PPV prices should go down, and why the networks should offer us more free fights.
I don't see why you'd get pissed at boxing fans who don't want to throw another $15 on the heap - many who shelled out $60 last weekend- to watch ONE fight.Comment
