Lol man aint gonna be no $10 PPVs. Im sure the do focus groups & studies on PPV sh^t to keep prices right in that sweet spot of getting them the best revenue on average.

But I get you. It sucks being a boxing fan costs so much or you gotta be on top of streams n sh^t + how do you grow boxing to its highest point when the best stuff the fewest people get to see because its behind a paywall. Hard to have any viral organic moments like other sports do when few can watch your sport live.

Yeah it's kind of a catch-22 for sure...I am glad boxers are at least getting paid well, relative to say MMA fighters...so at least these guys are getting millions vs hundreds of thousands for the punishment they take.

Who knows what will happen with DAZN but I do like their platform somewhat...$100 for probably 5+ PPV fights for a year is a great deal...and I already had ESPN+ so have gotten some OK fights there...though again they put most decent fights on PPV...but for $60 a year I at least get some good sports/content.

But yeah I just have 0 interest in paying $50+ for a PPV...just not worth it for me...I paid for Kov-Ward 1 and Canelo-GGG 1...and probably would have done Canelo-GGG 2 if I was in town...had to leave for the hurricane.

Would probably cough up like $50 for Crawford-Spence too...but of course that one will be well north of that so I will be sh.it out of luck.

And I hate people so don't want to watch these fights at a bar lol...oh well, watching the sh.it the next day isn't all that bad...at least that is an option.

Have you looked into watching at a theater? Believe its like $20 at the theater. And to me its the best way to watch a fight on that giant ass screen. Granted all fights arent at theaters, but more & more are & Errol vs Shawn was one of them.

I haven't...I'll have to look that up...I feel like that experience could go only two ways...great or absolutely awful lol...but yeah I am not in a huge city but maybe there are still options like that around here

Fox is a publically traded company.

They can’t lie about numbers.

Get the fuck outta here! It's just been under 48 hours since the fight has aired.That's not nearly enough time to tabulate all of the numbers

this is 2019, not 1919

you think some dudes have a pencil making tally marks?

they should know by the end of the fight how many people bought the ppv

I havent had a bad experience yet & been to about 4 of them now iirc. Usually solid boxing fans who dont drink show up. Or I havent been to one where they served drinks yet or someone snuck in something & got wild. Usually a couple dads brings their sons. Pretty respectable. Might be too respectable for some cats here in fact lol.

Check out Fathom Events website next time a big PPV fight is coming up. If you got a decent sized town nearby my guess is they will have it.

People need to stop quoting this idiot as any sort of official source.

Just because a bunch of dumbshts used Glaser's idiocy to talk crap about Golovkin doesn't mean you should become a dumbsht in return to taunt Spence.

This **** right here ^. And in a wider sense it's this kinda nonsense that dominates posting on the forum - like dudes trying to up the ****** ante in the belief that they're winning some battle, when in fact all they're doing is proving themselves to be just the same as the guys they're trying to outdo.


Celebrating fights selling badly just so you can claim some kinda weird Pyrrhic victory makes no sense to me at all as a boxing fan - regardless of the truth of the claim.

They haven't lied. They haven't said any numbers.
