    Crazy PPV pricing

    Charging 50$ does not make sense on fights like Rahman-Maskaev.

    They'd make a lot more on this fight if they charge about 10$.

    Is HBO PPV managed by idiots?

      i am buying it, but it seems that i am the only person doing that, judging by the responses in another thread. if they charged 10$, they'd have 10 times more people signing up, and making twice as much. that's my assesment.

      btw, they will probably have a free replay any way.

              seriously, normally, i'm all about showing support for the sport, but boxing fans need to stand their ground here.. the only way the 'higher ups' are gonna change things is if you don't buy these PPV cards with one decent main event and a horrible undercard. Money talks. No the upcoming Barrera-Juarez card is easily worth the money.

                  Yah the whole card is not worth the price. No one worth watching for me at least. I wonder how many empty seats the Thomas and Mack Centre will have?

                    I also believe this is a mandatory... wtf? How can a mandatory be on PPV? This is why casual sports fans don't watch boxing. When are the powers that be going to recognize that boxing doesn't need any more marks against it in the public's eye?
