"Pay Per View is atool..." - Espinoza

Yeah but in the current context of a pandemic, Showtime ain’t paying for premium prices to Haymon for the PBC fights. Therefore, Showtime is telling Haymon it’s gotta be on PPV for the fights you want.

Regarding your statement as to why other networks don’t do it, ESPN essentially does it with their $49.99 premier boxing fights. DAZN charges $19.99 for a premium fight. DAZN gives you one month full of content in the process. ESPN is a bit different. You need to have an ESPN subscription before buying one of their PPVs. Am I not mistaken?

Anything that’s on a cable provider you need to pay that. Most new gen don’t buy cable so OTT is the future. Only dummies say otherwise

We don't know all the details doe.
I think...
ESPN does fights, which are PPVs on others, for free because
not everything has been taken away during these pandemic times.
Although live gates are a thing of the past, albeit temporarily, they
don't have to spend large sums of money on renting large venues,
huge production costs, hire hundreds of people, etc.
Which probably explains why fighters' purses haven't gone down.
