How much did the PPV back in the old days cost

This Weekends PPV cost 75 $ Us Dollar.

How much did ex.

Holyfield vs Bowe

Tyson vs. Holyfield

Holyfield vs. Lewis

Tyson vs. Lewis

How much did those fight cost, and how to you compare them to this weekends fight.

 

Tyson Holyfield 2 was 49.95

 

Mom bought me Holyfield/Lewis 1 for 85 in Canada.

 

I don't remember them being less than $30

 

Damm, and how much was a Canadian Dollar in Us Dollar back then

 

I think they were always 50$

 

She also bought me Johnson/Maskaev for around 30 lol

 

Damm, only because Kirk is Canadian you have to pay for him.
Else the fight was not PPV worthy

 

There is something called inflation, tho it may cost more now the dollar was worth more then.

 

I think it had to do with him beinf canadian and our company not having HBO, it was basically paying for HBO Sports more than the fight.

 

I remember them being 29.95 back when Tyson was fighting

 

First fight I remember hearing the price for was Tyson Holyfield 2 because everyone was screaming about paying 50 dollars.

 

When Ali was fighting, Frazier/Ali I, it cost $10 for closed circuit...........

 

Its gone up gradually.
It was 30 bucks in the 80's.
40 bucks in the 90's
50 bucks in the 2000's
Now up to 70 and over.

Seems like they're raising the price 10 bucks every 10 years.

 

I remember getting up in the middle of the night to see Tyson waste guys like Bruno and Spinks without ever having heard about PPV.

Those were the days :yep
