Why in the world is Shane Mosley vs Sergio Mora on PPV?

[Kevin Malone]

The other part of this fight is the date it's being fought. Completely ****** to have it competing with Juan Manuel Lopez vs Rafael Marquez. Of all the fights the rest of the year that's the one I'm looking forward to the most.

exactly who would pay to watch mora mosley when juanma marquez will be on showtime?

Put it on FNF at least it serves it's purpose and gets some attention there.

FNF's budget is miniscule. If this PPV only sells 10k it will make more money than the largest FNF budget of the year.

I wish ESPN had a bigger budget in boxing (like they did 20 years ago). The fact is they probably won't for a long time (if ever)...

It's garbage. But I'm sure they'll put up a decent undercard and trick peope into buying it.

There was a post a while back i forget by who but he explained basically the business of ppv's.

And this ppv is essentially the only way to get this fight on tv.

Because nobody will see it. This fight's nothing special, I won't pay 50 bucks for it, and neither will the general public. It's bad business. I'm not a huge ufc fan but when I'm flipping around and see a fight I usually checkout the action and become familiar with the fighters and the product, making me more inclined to buy a ppv involving the participants. Mosley looked terrible against Mayweather, Mora's lost his popularity since the contender what do they have to offer? Put it on FNF at least it serves it's purpose and gets some attention there.

FNF pays a license fee of about $25-40K. Maybe-MAYBE - they would go to seventy five grand.

That wouldn't work. This fight will get a decent gate, and a couple of million in PPV sales.

It's true. Even though the overall ratings would suck it's the only way it would be on tv and make money. If 50k people buy the PPV that's a lot more money than if 200k watched it on ESPN.

Fights that would have low ratings but the fighters demand large paychecks have to be on these type of PPV's.
