Comments Thread For: Stephen Espinoza: Market Will Respond To Showtime PPVs

I hadn’t realised they were ppv, it makes the cards somewhat weaker. Real shame.

Anyone know how far apart the two portions of fights will air? I was hoping for a 1 long 6 fight PPV broadcast.

I'd guess afternoon and prime time.

Great card to put in premium channel Showtime and not PPV.

The only PPV I am going to pay is the exhibition match of Roy Jones Jr. vs Mike Tyson, because I want to see them, knowing they are going to fight without hurting and want to help to the charity cause, nothing more. The day I stop paying for PPV was when Amir Khan quit against Terrence Crawford for a low blow that not connect in that area. Free fights in streaming in full screen without lagging and HD in a private site is my heaven, after that quitting of Amir Khan.

Enough people are low on cash right now AND streaming has cut way into profits. PPVs will never reach the numbers they used to. Maybe Don King style extravaganzas are the way to go. Not just 2, but 7 or 8 title fights on one card. Look back at the names on some of those cards from the 90s. Now those were worth the price. Maybe it just isn't feasible these days.

Anyway......streaming these fights. Davis-Santa Cruz isn't that great of a fight. As some are saying, if the Charlo Card is priced right, I'd consider buying it.....even though I don't consider them big enough stars to headline a PPV.
