Why are so many of you obsessed with PPV numbers?

[Chups]

Floyd Money Mayweather started it by claiming that's he is king of PPV, that he makes people buy them more than any other fighters. So *****s and *******s started to care.

[Simply Zyzz]

because they have no ***in life, they want to sit on Boxing Forums and Brag about their favorite fighter PPV# as if they are getting paid from those PPV#'s

Thank you Pacquiao and Mayweather fans for RUINING BOXING!

PPV #'s and the expectation for them is exactly why we are not getting some of the fights we want to see you ***IN IDIOTS!

truer words never spoken

Floyd deserves the blame. Now we know he can't sell, just imagine the numbers without Canelo and Morales! BUMMER!

I understand that if a boxer achieves a high PPV then he can commend more favourable split on a purse etc, yea, i got that. Thanks. Pretty obvious.

What i don’t understand is why you are all so obsessed with who gets the most PPV subscribers?! I mean, really, why?

I don’t care one bit if Mayweather has 850K, 8.5M or just 8 people buying his fights, i don’t care at all. I’ll still watch him. You’ll still watch him. What does it matter?

It’s like it’s a badge of honour for some of you on here in this never ending battle between rival fans.

Oooo Floyd did XXXXX PVV and Manny only managed XXXX PPV, therefore Floyd is better etc.

Yawn.

Isn’t chat like that more suited to the playground, and more suited to the game of conkers rather than boxing

Can i have a sensible answer please, I’m sure there must be one.

WHy do you care what other posters debate about? If you don't like the topic, leave it alone.

Floyd's fans got a little defensive after they b*tched about how Floyd should get the lions share in the first negotiations

Not obsessed, however I am interested from a pure standpoint of seeing how the general public perceives each fight.

[KickAzz]

I think only floyd fans are obsessed with ppv numbers because they think that it somehow makes floyd better than pac. pac fans only talk about it to troll floyd fans.

This. It really serves as a barometer for the popularity of boxing in general, which as a fan of boxing, should be important from a fan perspective. If the top guys aren't selling PPVs, it reflects where people are choosing to spend and not spend their disposable income. I miss the descrambler days, I used to have every fight.

good question.... seriously these guys go too far with it

[joelab75]

Floyd started it..Tyson never brought it up..Floyd was bragging abt the PPV sales calling himself the cash cow and "money"..now that his ppv numbers are subpar suddenly some BS posters questioning why posters obsessed abt it?
