If it is free there it should be free here. Who is advising him on this? If it is fatboy Bryan he is a dumba$$. Not many people here knows that fight is on PPV. This is going to be bad business for them.

Personally I don't have a problem with this being a ppv fight, but if this is strictly for people in PR then I do have a problem with that considering the average median income there, compared to other places where the fight will be available for much cheaper, it is a slap in the face IME.

Originally posted by Fistic View PostI understand that, but I think my point still stands. People get together everywhere and chip in to watch these fights. $5 to a PR who makes $20,000-30,000 a year has more value than $5 for a Chicagoan who is clearing $50,000 a year.

Originally posted by jtcs1981 View PostNot really. People here spend money like crazy. Consumerism here is so bad. We dont look at it the same way so the impact it is the same or it is not important. BTW, no federal taxes, low state taxes, no property tax and plenty of people here live in houses with no mortgage so it is not the same. Culturally here is strange compare to over there.
Many states have different tax systems. Take sales tax for example: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon don't have it or have real low rates. Hawaii is at 4%. Take income tax. Don't these states not have income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, Wyoming. People in these states have a higher median income than PR. Should these states pay for ppv as well? All that said, all states will find a way to make revenue just like PR despite what taxing, welfare, or incentive programs they have.

This is why I hate the business side of this sport. The more money they make, the more they want. They can care less about the fan base, instead, they take advantage of it. Maybe there should be a refund clause getting our money back if Cotto chooses to back pedal like he did with Pacquiao or take a knee again. Yes I said it. Been a Cotto fan from his amateur days so can care less if anybody agrees or disagrees and think he should've never agreed to this.
