    $80 PPV price for Canelo-Golovkin. What happened to $50 PPVs?

    These prices just keeping getting worse and worse. In the UK they spend $25 MAX for their PPVs. We have to spend 3x that price. I mean I guess this price is a bargain compared to the Mayweather-McGregor exhibition, but it's still ridiculous.

      Inflation and greedy promoters. The price seems to rise $10 everybody 5 years.

      Mostly like promoters saw people were willing to spend $100 for MayPac so why not charge $80 for the less significant big fights.

        That's a joke. The PPV is going to do bad numbers. Do they really think people are going to spend that kind of money when it's going to be everywhere online for free?

          The business model clearly has to change. We need more fans and more sponsorship for that.

          I don't blame the boxers really. Ask for as much as you can get.

            AU has a really weak dollar though.

            I would gladly pay 50 to sit on my couch and enjoy a super awesome scrap.

                Yeah, your $80 is worth $100 AUD so we are getting it for 40% of what you are paying, pubs also show it for free so you can watch it however you want to

                  If people stop buying them they'll lower the price.
