I honestly never understood this, the fight is promoted as usual, and comes on at the same time..so why does the location matter to boxing fans if they are going to order it or not? The biggest fights in history were out of the country..Rumble in the jungle, thrilla in Manilla for example..Tho before the ppv era i can not imagine the ppv's would be low just because the fight was overseas...So honeslty what does a fight being overseas have to do with ppv numbers?

It has nothing to do with PPVs. It is a convenient excuse that Bob Arum created to excuse the Pacquaio fights that bombed on PPV.

How does any of this effect who buys the ppv?

How about this Larry, provide any data that supports your theory that location does not affect PPV. So far, we only have data that indicates that it does.

There are multiple factors that affect PPV purchases, in the case of Rios and Algieri there was little interest because of the name, location, and low amount of domestic marketing. Arum/Pac took a deal in Macau because there was other forms of compensation that more than made up for low PPV, also having Algieri meant very little operation cost to pay the challenger, lets face it, even if he had another better known named player, a couple hundred thousand ppv's probably wouldn't have made up for the millions more it would cost to get that name.

Because it does. Different timezones, networks, etc.
