Comments Thread For: Mayweather Wants The PPV To Be 100 in The UK, Says Hearn

[Kcvtr81]

*** you yank ba$tard$, it's $100 for every time you scumbags entered another country and stole its resources or dropped a bomb on a school or flattened a house with a sleeping family in it or every stray bullet a gang ****er sprays into a crowd, that's why you mother****ers get ripped off lol

... it's free enterprise... one is entitled to put whatever price one wants... the problem is the buyer...

You can put whatever price you want.

Although you have to be smart enough to only charge what people are willing to pay.

For a fight a 5am in the UK, lets say 10,000 people are happy to pay £25.00 for this fight. (Gross £250,000)

Considering it is at 5am, I think you would be lucky if you got 10% of those people to pay £100 for the fight. (Gross £100,000).

Considering the fight is in the middle of the night then they would be much smarter to price the fight lower and try and get as many people to view it as possible.

£100 especially for this shite fight.

Hearn may try con people now and again, but SKY wouldn't charge over 5 times the normal price for this fight. Hearn's comments are already pointing towards that.

SKY count on casual fans to bring the money in, and while this fight is heaven for casual fans, it will probably be poor on the night.
And a lot of the buyers already found May-Pac poor..that mix playing out (at a high price) could see those casuals turn their backs on PPV's, which would be a killer for SKY and Hearn.

Would some people still buy it? Probably. But the numbers would be well down at that price. People will decide to spend that money on a night out instead and just watch the fight the next day when it's all over facebook.

... it's only a marketing hoax, doe... they pretend to ask for £100 in order sell at £20 -- but much, much more than the Floyd-Pac PPVs...

[aceventura]

haymon doesnt sodimize the boxing fans like top prank and golden girl do weekly you lying loser...... This is the first ppv by floyd in 2 years! Haymon isnt putting this ppv on!

So you seem to love getting sodimized by your golden girl it seems... Lube up amigo

It's on at 5am for christ's sake. Compromise for the UK/Europe market at little given one fighters from that area, and put it on at 2am UK time.

That's the only way you'll get the volume of people to buy it for anything above £25.

Mayweather's a greedy c*nt.

Who cares about those cheap bastards, thats why we make them wake up at 5am just to watch our fights. Theyre on our time. America>>>>>the universe

[soul_survivor]

Mayweather cant read. He probably thinks the dollar is worth more than the pound.

[tokon]

It's only fair. Why should the U.S. be the one who is always subsidizing boxing PPV's?

Totally agree. If the US HD-ppv charge is $100 then it should be about £80. If they don't want to pay then they won't buy it!

Let me wise you up .The PPV fights idiots like you pay extortionate amounts to watch we get for free.

When A.J. hits the shores of America to knock out one of the list of shyte American heavyweights we will pay no more than £20 you lot know what you'll pay .So who's the fools!

We might even have to supply a challenger for AJ. too.....pathetic.
