Winghouse eliminates boxing PPVs, keeps UFC.....smh

[Hatesrats]

I'd hate to watch a fight with a bunch of fat drunk *******s anyway... lol

[Irony123]

its not that boxing can't draw its that boxing PPVs are actually twice more expensive than UFC PPVs, no one wants boxing PPVs anymore because they suck in terms of cost.

Pretty odd timing considering Canelo vs Chavez Jr is going to do big numbers.

I could see passing on Ward vs Kovalev or Golovkin vs Jacobs. Those are fights that are drawing hardcore fans. But this fight should have huge mainstream crossover appeal.

Among the Latino community. The general public doesn't care about this fight.

How much do they charge for showing a UFC at a business establishment vs a boxing event?

Considering these places are in Texas & Florida which I believe both to be highly Hispanic states, that one would think would have a lot of boxing fans already, if they weren't making money before idk why it would change with this fight. Its not THAT big of a fight.

This might have to do with boxing fans being cheap mfers or something actually lol. Cuz if they gotta pay a grand (or whatever) to show the fight & they don't have a cover (idk if they do or not at this specific place) then they need to recoup their expenses + make a profit via your food & drink purchases. If boxing fans aren't buying & UFC fans are it makes all the sense in the world as a business owner to not purchase boxing PPV's.

Apparently it costs a lot. Back in the early 90's I aksed a bar owner why he wasn't ordering a PPV fight at that time, he said he is charged $3k to show it. Today it's about twice as much.

can't remember what they charge but Steve Kim wrote a piece earlier this year (or last year) about it.

This is America. I would also not dismiss the possibility, regardless of how much money could be generated, that some of these businesses do not WANT to attract huge Hispanic (or any 'demographic') crowd. Especially if it conflicts with their 'typical' crowd.

As Black folk can attest to and the old saying goes: All money ain't good money.

**** winghouse! WAR BOXING!

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

MMA fans love to go to them winstop etc on fight night and all love to act like they know what they talking about. Lol boxing fans dont really do that for the most part.

so MMA fans bring money to the establishment and boxing doesnt.
