Comments Thread For: Arum: Forget $80 For PPVs; Go Back To Charging $40 & We'll See Tremendous Increase In Buys

[Oregonian]

Floyd Mayweather started the $100 PPV scam . I bought zero of his PPV I was never swindled by this con man

——

How did Floyd swindle you? A price tag was put on the fight and people had a choice to buy or not to. Guess what? 4.6 million paid for it.

Same thing happened with the McGregor fight and all of Floyd’s PPV fight.

The hatred is palpable for you

Why doesnt arum take his own advice???

They should do away with PPV’s for a couple of years. Imagine how many new boxing fans it would create if everyone could watch a 2 year supply of super fights. The way it is now the only way to get into the sport is if you know somebody who is hellbent on throwing 100 dollars down.

Oh but I did. I know you didn’t buy any of his PPV’s.
But you called him a swindler, hence my response. So, I’m asking you one more time, How did Floyd swindle or con you?

Unkee Bob in one week has said TWO things I agree with. Holy moly. Let's be honest here, nearly EVERYTHING needs to be reduced in price... including sports events, concerts, food, veterinarian care, people health care, dental, vehicles etc etc. About the only thing cheap now is gas... and that's just because of special circumstances that won't last too much longer.

It doesn't matter if it is $40 or $80. Those who stream it illegally will continue to do so no matter what.

People buy PPVs because they have some weird fetish for transferring their money to promoters of the most corrupt sport in the world.

I really mean that. They brag about it and insult you for not doing the same.

$40 or $80, people who want to pay will pay and people who grab and online HD stream don't check the prices anyway, not because it's a lot of money but because the business model is gross.

I love how you've spun your illegal steaming into a moral crusade of heroism while attacking those who legally watch and pay to support a sport they love.

I used to pay for them all but got tired of paying for sh it shows and mismatches that’s why I stream.

You would be "supporting the sport you love" by funding a local amateur event or volunteering at a gym or even attending a show at an Indian casino.

Pitching another $80 into a billion-dollar PPV is not "supporting the sport". Don't be gullible.
