Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Bradley PPV Distributed Online by Top Rank

The best "free" streams are 4 bucks because you get a dedicated HD stream and login and no drop offs. I output the HD stream to my 50 inch TV through HDMI and get nearly the quality of typical PPV HD broadcasts. I prefer the theater but Pac's ignorant marketing team did not offer the fight in theaters like Mayweather did.

Ah now I see, all your dedicated posting is just so that you can get in a stab at Top Rank -more likely Arum............

[QUOTE=edgarg;12211884]You are an astonishing hypocrite. You complain about not having a completely legal way to see the fight for $15 and yet you say you can see it legally for $4. And, you know all about free, illegal streaming. To insist on paying $15 downtown with extra for parking, drinks, eats etc when you can sit comfortably at home and watch it for $4 sounds a bit...off.QUOTE]You're not getting the point. The 4 dollar sites are not illegal only because they are overseas. That means you can see a Mayweather fight legally for 15 bucks (theater) but cannot see a Pac fight unless you pay almost 5 times that that for 53 bucks because there are no theater outlets. Forget the dining and parking options, I live in the suburb where I can get to a theater like many, park there and watch a mayweather fight but NOT a Pac fight.

It's like Mayweather coming to me and saying, I'll give you my fights for 15 bucks and Arum coming to me and saying, I won't take less than 54 bucks for Pacs fights. It doesn't take a genius to figure out who is offering the better deal. Thats about 1/4 the price for Mayweather fight cards compared to Pac fight cards. Checkmate Mayweather.

You sound as if you're working for Mayweather "Promotions", and trying to do their promoting for them. They need a lot better than you.

How about being truthful for a change??

You forget THIS IS COMING FROM A PAC FAN! Mayweather=15 bucks for his fights, Pac=53 bucks for his fights!

TRUTHFUL???????? Did you forget that 99% of my posts are Pro-Pac and against Mayweather?????? You know me and we have both been on the same side for over a year!! We have both agreed with each other a thousand times regarding Pac and Mayweather.

Dude I always give Bob credit when he deserves it. So while its common on this board for other posters to try and label me a floyd only guy, i've been watching boxing since 1979 long before floyd and will watch long after him.

Todd deboeff and Bob are doing a lot to expand the viewership. Online viewing with the different angles is a good look.

As a matter of fact I have read where Arum gives DuBoeuf the credit for the more modern, up-to-date thinking, and making viewing more available to larger audiences.

still prefer to watch in the comforts of my home!QUOTE]I make near 6 figures but there are tons of fans who are near poverty that cannot aford 53 bucks and that is the ***ing reason why I mentioned Mayweather because his fights are almost 1/4 what Pac's fights are because of Mayweather's theater accessible fight cards.

You should put some of that money you make (??) into educating yourself, and you will be able to earn (??) even more.

And, you know all about free, illegal streaming. To insist on paying $15 downtown with extra for parking, drinks, eats etc when you can sit comfortably at home and watch it for $4 sounds a bit...off.

If you have any friends (??) and you split the costs, it can be a lot less than $55 and still be legal. If you insist on paying $15, I'm sure your friends(??) will be happy to allow you to.

Where can you get the ppv fight in HD for only $4 legally? I'm interested in that

Anyone that has info on a pay stream that probably won't get taken down, please hit me up. I don't want to pay $55, but this fight is too important for me to be ****ing around with.

That may very well be, but you certainly sound as if you're boosting Mayweather and scoriating Pacquiao's ignorant advisors (I think that's what you said). I don't actually support Pacquiao any more than I support any fighter I like to watch. I just chip in when I see the utterly ignorant, ******, mindless ravings of the hordes of illiterates we have on the site.

Past figures released have always shown that the vast majority of paying viewers prefer to watch the fights in the comforts of their homes, surrounded by friends. I'm talking about millions against perhaps a score or two thousands in the theatres. Just because you prefer to go to a theatre doesn't mean that they have to have a theatre available for you. It's a matter of economics and amount of work against potential profits.

Golden Balls showed in theatres to try to get extra income because their PPVs were not doing too well. I remember well the reports about it. I suppose that because they persevered, it's paying a bit better now.

But if there's any real money in it worth taking the trouble over, you can be sure that Top Rank and even other promoters would also be doing the same thing.
