They already pay Crawford to fight with no PPV buys. Maybe this is the next step.

The business is down. Every where there is salary cut

I understand contractually what he is saying but if the people who would normally come watch the fights live watch it at home instead still pay. How is that any different? How about give a vip ppv experience so those people still get something extra while you still get paid.

You know, you gotta pay me, you know, to do what I do you know. You know, to fight the bums I fight, you know, you know, it’s a health risk you know.

It's a lot different. Number one, they make way more money on an individual attending at the arena, through ticket sales, concessions, etc than they would if that person stayed at home. Number two, what percentage of fans that can no longer attend the fight, will actually buy it on PPV instead? Less than you think. There's also the fact that every fight isn't PPV, most aren't.

Number one. This is why I said they can add a VIP option for PPV sales for those who want that extra special something since they can not view it in person. Number two. I do not know but I do know that there can be something done so that those who really wanted to view it in person can have a special experience through PPV with added features. I would think that most fans that would go watch it in person would buy the PPV since it would be much cheaper and if they had a VIP option that gave them special access that others would not have, that would help.
