Is kovalev vs Stevenson a ppv fight

[BrometheusBob.]

I don't ever buy fights because I am too cheap to pay 50 bucks or more to watch a fight I can watch free on direct tv in a week. This is a super fight and if a fight should be pfv this is one of them.

This is about as big a super fight as Khan vs Garcia was. Yeah it's two champions unifying and the #1 & #2 in the division but that's not always PPV material.

[Outwest Exp 355]

I'm all in on that fight.

[Dindu_Nuffin]

Absolutely. Two huge punchers, one with three belts, the other with one - thereby making it for the undisputed LHW champ. Been a minute since anybody from any division has held all four belts at once.

With a solid supporting co-main - it's absolutely a PPV that demands 55/65(HD).

It would certainly get more buys then GGG vs. Lemiux. It's a ppv fight.

Definitely a ppv

Main events made a Twitter offer to Stevenson 50/50 on ppv $65. Worth it?

Will be entirely dependent on what the entire show ended up looking like, tbh.

Stevenson vs Kovalev, for the undisputed/unified light heavyweight championship of the world, is a gigantic fight and arguably one of the five biggest fights that could be made in the sport. As a standalone fight, I wouldn't be bothered with paying $45sd for the fight (assuming I was hosting; otherwise, I'd probably be out at a bar somewhere).

Beyond that, any other dollar value needs to be added to the show, either by undercard or by spectacle. Main Events, as a company, doesn't have the depth of the roster to stack the bill, therefore:

-fight opens up the new MGM arena in Vegas: ($5 more for PPV)

Not sure how they'd get to $65.

Did HBO say it would cost $65?

i'm of the school of thought that says "i'll pay for a good fight on PPV if it's the only way to make the fight."


in the past, this fight wouldn't be on PPV. starts / "A side" matchmaking has inflated the purses of top fighters.

networks don't sell fights any longer. they sell fighters. it's causing these favored guys to earn purses that cost too much to get a decent opponent.


if you wantt o wtach ward - golovkin

ward - kovalev

stevenson - kovalev

get ready to watch it on PPV.

i am voting yes, btu that's only because i hardly watch boxing any longer with all of these terrible fights and promotor wars.
