Comments Thread For: Mayweather-McGregor PPV Will Cost $99.95 to Watch in HD

$100 bucks?!! First Row Sports here I come!

Nah it won't be a problem for me. I live in Vancouver and there's places all over the place that will showing the fight without an entrance fee. We are a bit spoiled I suppose. Getting a bunch of people together to split the cost is an alright way to go as well. I just wouldn't be paying the full price by myself. No point

Exactly. Can honestly say that I've literally purchased one PPV that I watched by myself (which was a personal replay of s fight that if gone out to see the night before).

It's been either this bar that I found local, a house party that a friend was hosting, or hitting the theater for Fathom Events. Or simply not tuning in, tbh (for those shows, I may check a recap later).

Will be at the usual bar for the fight ($20 for the PPV, plus the cost of drinks), but the fight parties are likely to be lit, even at $100 for the HD fee.

Rather than simply calling your boxing friends, Mayweather-McGregor is the type of event that you can invite everyone to, whether they follow boxing or not.

As the summer is wrapping up, folks can throw the party of the year.

This guy gets it. This is what it boils down to. This fight is a large party/sports spectacle and everyone is invited. If you have any social circle at all you will be able to find a place to watch it. Even if you don't the bars will be packed.

Being a salty nerd complaining about it doesn't do any good.

[Scipio2009]

I get that and agree.

Didn't say it would be bad business.

Just don't think it will do as well as they think.

Doubt that even Floyd turns his nose up at $150m

Absolutely ridiculous price for this fight. Long night of disappointment

[The tucker]

This fight does 3.5 million at the most. I'm guessing it does better than the may vs canelo but does not come close to the may vs PAC numbers.

[MrRolltide91]

You're out of your mind if you think this does under 2 million. It's been promoted by ESPN since last year. This fight will do more action betting than the Super Bowl. It's the ultimate circus fight and nothing else will be revelant sports wise in the weeks leading up to this fight.


The Sky is the limit with this fight but I'd expect no less than 3 million buys. They are going to make a killing on it. Canelo Mayweather did 2.2. This is much much bigger.

Yea they doing this right before NFL regular season and college football

[Scipio2009]

Naw I'll be watching it with my kids. I'll plug in my hdmi cord to my 60inch & hope it don't pause to much.

Much respect to keeping your kids engaged in boxing, but if your house is the place that your kids and their friends no will be showing the fight, wouldn't your kids want to invite friends over?

No idea where you live or anything, but if the stage is set for me maybe hosting the fight, I'm not going to risk having the fight cut out (or the stream getting snatched) with a captive audience, be it just my kids or the kids and their friends.

i never said he wasnt, im just saying that may vs mcgregor is going to be sooo boring its gonna make guillermo riguendaux vs joseph agbeko look like barrera vs morals 1 now do you GET IT

why would it be boring? its going to be exciting because mayweather is going to take it to the UFC'S biggest star and expose MMA! stop being so negative man!

[p4ptbe]

They have all said publically they believe it will beat the record which is 4.6

One of Dana White, Ellerbe or Espinoza (forget which one) also publically said they are hoping for 5 million so, yeah.

they said it could which is the only answer to give! its not like saying we think we will break the record!
