Comments Thread For: Arum: 90% of Fans Don't Care About The PPV Undercard

[Convicted_Felon]

That's why Rob Arum is losing the cold war. He thinks the world revolves around Manny Pacquiao. As he can see from the last PPV #'s, that's not the case. I'm surprised that Bob is taking this approach because he's a businessman. In the last PPV show Bob had a heavyweight who quit on the stool so he's the one who doesn't care about the undercard. The fans obviously care about the undercards being solid. Just check Floyd's numbers. He's a huge PPV star but they always support the fight with a solid undercard.

well, its kinda true what Arum said


pick 10 random people at your fight party and guess how many of those 10 give a crap about the undercards


the problem with Arum's statement is; the 10% that do give a **** are on these forums complaining about it

[Craveman]

Then if that's the case, don't put undercards at all. No one cares about it and then you pile crap undercards? Doesn't make sense.

You've reiterated this in a number of threads. I don't exactly undertsand what you are getting at.

No one said he had to put more stars on an undercard. I and other posters said better fights. It would benefit him as a businessman because his company would be seen as one that gives you good value for your dollar-which helps keeps customers, not drive them away.

You are also someone who foolishly (moreso hatefully) argues that the biggest draw in the sport benefits from having big names on his undercards. Now you are agreeing with bob. if IYO it helps floyd then it should surely help TR fighters.

Perhaps you should make up your mind and then post again.

You know exactly what I'm getting at. its OK to defend a boxers actions to avoid particular fights in the name of "boxing is a business", but crap all over promoters for being businessmen.

Judging by the sales figures for Pac-Rios this is precisely what is happening. The fans aren't buying into it anymore.

Let's see how Pac-Bradley does.

Casual fans, who comprise the majority of sales, who don't even watch undercards, are choosing not to buy based on the undercard?

lolol

good, so whats with the complaining still then?? i never understood why people complain, its ur money, spend it how u want, if ur dumb enough to pay for a fight knowing it has shitty undercards then whos fault is that?? its not like they keep that a secret until u make the purchase for the fight. u have the option to buy or not, nobody is putting a gun to ur head. fanboys are some of the worst, just like females.

[Verstyle]

I guess that kills the theory of Floyd only selling due to his undercards

[elcashanilla]

Really thats why rios vs pacquiao did less than 500k in ppvs and marquez vs bradley did less than 350k while mayweather vs guerrero top both of these ppvs hahahaha poor arum
