You really a dumb ass. PPV is the same as watching it on ESPN. The only difference is you have to pay for it. ESPN+ you gotta download the app, register, log in, buy an hdmi converter for your phone if you want to watch it on your TV or by a chromecast or apple TV or whatever way you figure out how to watch it on TV.
This is boxing not football or basketball. People aren't about to go thru all those extra steps to watch the fight. Only us boxing fans will do that.
Once again you're missing the point and I can tell you've never had to use your brain to make a dollar
Valid point bolded. Most people don't have a streaming device plugged up to their tv. you need one (or a smart tv) to use ESPN app on your tv.
I was discussing the weekend fights with my buddy at work, he's mid 50s and old school. Cats in that demographic have limited interest in jumping through those hurdles, let alone for a boxing fight.
to us millennials, this stuff is 2nd nature, we (and the younger gen) are the target market for ESPN+Comment

That's exactly right and it's a shame. These days, it's about fleecing people out of their cash any way possible. They nickel and dime you to death, hoping you don't catch on.Valid point bolded.

Oh I thought you were referring to me. I couldn’t care less who is responsible for putting it on the app it could be Muhammad Ali himself and I’d still say it was a ****** idea. So you like the app? Is the streaming quality HD?Comment

these days? man it's capitalism at work baby. American as apple pie.
I don't pay for ESPN
but I have access to the app via my Fire TV gadget.
if the boxing content is suitable to me, I don't mind paying $5 for the ESPN+. I pay $10/mo for Showtime, and $10/mo for HBO as well.
its increasingly easier to divvy up your cable tv packages in the US. I pay $110/mo total for cable and internet (including the SHO/HBO subs).
Since HBO won't have any fights in the month of June and July, I cancel the sub and resub in August when they have a fight. Takes me a few minutes to do.Comment
