Who is actually going to buy the Tyson - Roy Jones PPV?!

[ironmike2012]

Why not? it is for charity and it is Mike Tyson.

My only question is the odds, Tyson fought Corrie Sanders and when the fight was over, there wasn't a decision, so nobody "won".

So far the boxing hasn't been good since the comeback, this can't be worse than ESPN garbage fights.

Me.

I never buy PPVs, but I'm a sentimental fuck.

Definitely picking this one up just to see Mike step in the ring . It will be an event . Unless it’s not a crazy price ,I can’t see how they could charge much for what is labeled an exhibition. I’m willing to go anything that doesn’t exceed 40 .

You’re right.
TRUE boxing fans don’t pay for boxing events. They stream it illegally. Even if boxing sales decline, they don’t care as long as they didn’t have to pay.
That’s a TRUE boxing fan right there.

I wouldnt say all stream illegally though.

For me I love boxing to much to short change it. Whenever a top fight is announced I always pay up and would never illegally watch it on a fake stream.

[PRINCEKOOL]

It will most likely be half the price of normal pay per view.

People will be more intrigued by this exhibition that Floyd Mayweathers.

I'm kinda torn.

I want to buy it because I want to financially support Mike & Roy, but then I don't want this to become a common thing.

I'll probably decide on the night.

[Blond Beast]

I don't think most people know (or realize) it's a 8 round exhibition match.

Right. I think people are delusional. The commission don’t want anyone to get hurt, they are already trying to temper expectations. If anyone got dropped or wobbled that would be the end of it. We saw mike exhibition fourteen years ago. If Roy went down would that even mean anything to anyone?!! There isn’t even a best case scenario worth a hay penny.

[BodyBagz]

I happily will not. Best money never spent.

Is there ANYONE that’s actually going to buy this? I know people buy anything these days cause they are easily manipulated but two 50+ year olds going at it in an exhibition? They’ll be knackered after two rounds. With a YouTuber on the undercard. Jesus.

I’m curious as to if this ppv will sell. So who is going to pay for this? And will it bring in the casual fans?

I am unsure if I will buy it, seems to be like a very, very friendly exhibition, a cut stops the fight, and the referee is there to ensure no one becomes aggressive.

This is somewhat of an intriguing question to ask boxing fans because most of us don't purchase pay per views anyhow.

However, Tyson and Roy Jones is a PPV worthy event. It's a dream matchup that many boxing fans have been waiting to see for years.

We know they are no longer in their primes but at least on paper; It's yet still a very fascinating matchup.
