    I own a bar, and won't get any PPv boxing or UFC... They are overpriced and eat all your profit.. You are lucky to break even after paying the 1600

    When I was in college I worked at Buffalo Wild Wings as a hourly supervisor and talked them into getting some PPv fights,, this was around 2005-06 and the owners didn't want to do boxing unless it was a Tyson fight, lol.... They did finally start showing the UFC PPv after I begged them for like a year to get some sort of fights shown.. Pitched them hard on jones-tarver 3, but since the hooters were showing UFC, they finally started showing UFC, and bww is so big, we had great nights at the bar, but after a year or so, we realized bar sales goes up, but dining room plummets as it gets overrun by teenagers that don't drink booze,but will sit there for 5-6 hours drinking unlimited refill sodas, and their tab would be like 8 bucks....plus fights broke out on occasion and that was the end of PPv at our store...
