You dont have to go anywhere and watch it, feel free to stay home. But if you want to pay to view it off of your subscription at someones business, then call it whatever you want.
You can charge your boys 5 bucks (or bring beer, etc) to watch it on your new 30k tv...is that PPV?
Think a movie theater is going to let people in out of the goodness of their heart?

Dazn isnt free so if a business wants to air it, they have way to purchase the event so that people can pay to go to their place of business.

The genius of marketing. Where "two for one", becomes "buy one get one free." The second one is free as long as you buy the first one.

If the tickets are more than $9.99 what is the point of this? The reason people go to theatres to watch PPV fights is because it's cheaper.

You can look at it however you want. It’s not a free service though. Youre not paying per view, but if you only pay it for canelo, power to you

Just like happy hour -- you get "free" food as long as you "buy" drinks.
Dazn is clearly PPV because you can watch a fight for "free" as long as you "pay" for the first month subscription, then you can cancel.
Getting with your buds and having a party is cool, but there is nothing like watching it in an arena. Next to watching it live, arenas and movie theaters are a lot better than tv.
I remember watching Hearns and Hagler on "closed circuit" at the San Diego Sports Arena with 12,000 in attendance. It was unreal.
In fact, all of the major fights in the 1980's were closed circuit. Frazier vs Ali, Ali vs Foreman, SSL vs Hearns. Hearns vs Pepino.
Gomez vs Sal Sanchez was the best. The brothers from my neighborhood liked Gomez and the Vatos Cholos dug Sanchez. No drama or hostilities -- after the fight we all hung out in the parking lot.
