I think I answered this before and my answer was, cause people keep paying $70 for **** so promoters will keep doing it. Stop paying $70 and you'll see how quick they drop the price.

Crawford/Postol , Ward/Kovalev should've been $39.99

Crawford/Postol should had been $25 tops.

Yeah but hasn't that been happening? At least to a degree? Seems like the vast majority of PPVs these days underwhelm and fail to meet or exceed expectations, and that's on a good day. On a bad day these PPVs are totally bombing.

$70 HD (let's be real ain't nobody got time for standard def these days) for a 3 to 4 hour card, where most of the buyers are only interested in the main event.

Why is it set in stone that the vast majority of these PPVs have to be $70 in the states? If these things were let's say, $40, wouldn't that be a lot more inviting? Well I guess the answer to that is obvious. But a $70 price tag is pretty intimidating for a lot of folks, especially when they're on the fence about it. I've talked to plenty of boxing fans -- true actual boxing fans, that are passing more and more on these PPVs because the cards and main events just don't justify that type of cost for sitting in your living room to watch boxing for 3 or 4 hours.

Wouldn't it be possible that cheaper PPV Price tags would actually be more beneficial in the long run for everybody involved? Wouldn't more people buy these cards? Leading to more money (not to mention exposure) for the promoters and the networks?

Offer and demand my friend. Let boxing die. This mofos making 5 millions per fight will beg for one million once boxing dies.

Getting paid well for big fights isn't the problem. It's fighters getting paid over 1 mil to fight mismatches, it leaves the networks with little money to pay decent opponents.

Unfortunately, most PPV's being charged @ $70 these days, are really only worth $1.97 in a bargain bin at your local gas station. People are paying for mostly garbage, in the hope that it's got a cherry on top.

We'll know soon enough if the sport has killed itself, or can return from the brink.

That's the main one of the many reasons I barely buy PPV's anymore. Honestly I think $70 for any PPV is ridiculous let alone every single one. Just another way to rip us fans off.
