How come in America, we have to pay for PPV fights. Where as in any other country, they can just watch it on network TV???

bc americans are supposed to have more disposable income

because the people who own the broadcasting rights say so

america is after all a capitalist state

in a capitalist state, every dollar that can be made, will be made.

quite simply there is a big enough market of people who will pay 75 dollars to watch a fight(this has been proven) that it's advantageous to charge them for it.

I think in Europe (or UK only?) they have to pay for channels that host boxing events like Box Nation? I may be wrong though.

I guess Pacquiao fights are played free in the Philippines, not sure how it goes for other fighters
