Well you couldn't announce a fight as a non ppv and then a few weeks later make it ppv. Again I bring Tyson V Jones ppv back into the equation. That being on the same night surely plays it part as they were never going to have two ppv events the same day.
I genuinely don't think it's going to do that many buys. Joshua lost a significant amount of appeal with non-boxing fanatics when he lost to Ruiz and Pulev is a complete unknown to these people. Also the price point does matter a lot in terms of overall revenue. Say 300k people buy a £25 PPV but 700k people would buy a £15 PPV. Do the maths. A completely hypothetical scenario but clearly a significantly higher number of people will purchase a PPV priced at £15 which would be far fairer.
Why not? If the reason for it not being PPV was Whyte-Povetkin then they could have easily done that and just said that PPV is needed to make the numbers work. You just don't want to give Warren any credit which is just pathetic and typical of your posts here.
I think AJ is a legitimate ppv star. In the grand scheme of things would I moan about a £5 increase, possibly not. Couple that with having to pay a score to watch mediocre fighters and that’s where my problem lies. A score to watch whyte Povetkin, another score to watch A washed up Del Boy with 9 losses on his record. Drop me out they are taking the Royal and have been for a long time
Lol How could you announce a fight and then a few weeks later say "the numbers don't work, sorry its now ppv". Do you honestly believe that would be possible? The PR nightmare alone would be unreal and you would lose all goodwill from customers.
Forget all of these semantics, you are the one who opined that the only reason why Dubois-Joyce is on normal BT is because of Whyte-Povetkin and clearly that is not the case since Whyte-Povetkin is not happening now. And it's a moot point anyway. This thread is about the ridiculous price of a PPV fight which is probably 90/10 weighted in Joshua's favour on paper.
Your example to supply and demand is incorrect as has already been explained. The rest of what you said about people still buying it is essentially repeating what I said so I don't understand the point.
It's all these other needless PPV's that completely take the **** neither Whyte v Povetkin or Usyk v Chisora were PPV fights and should've been co main event fights on the AJ card or the Usyk Chisora on regular sky as a headliner. Hearn is really taking the **** with PPV's at every opportunity, pricing this at £25 when no doubt some people have shelled out £40 for two fairly meaningless pudding fights and they're the problem people need to stop accepting mediocre PPV's and allowing puddings like Chisora purses of over £1 million.
It's not semantics when you are the one coming up with ridiculous scenarios. As I said originally considering Dubious v Joyce was originally scheduled as a PPV then I really don't think it's a stretch that the Whyte v Povetkin rematch played its part when they announce the new date for Dubios v Joyce not being on ppv. That's not fact that's just my opinion. Now if you think the original fight being a ppv and then the rescheduled fight not being ppv is down to Warren and BT "thinking of the fans" then that's fine.
Was annoyed briefly but then remembered I just won’t be paying for it. I relaxed quickly. Have done the argument with people on here about PPV for too long. Price goes up, quality does not. The “If you don’t like it do not pay” crowd still unable to understand the concept of affordability versus value.
Yep 100%. If a fight was initially PPV at a time when fans were able to attend shows and is then put on normal BT without fans being able to attend then it is pretty clear that Warren is looking out for the fans. And Warren made that clear as well as part of the press release announcing it because he referred to the pandemic. You are selectively choosing to not believe Warren for some fantasy reason inspired by your hero Hearn.
That's right, hence there is a demand - and that demand outweighs the negative proportion of whom think it's utterly ridiculous. Your beer example states that if everyone were to boycott beer, then the prices of beer would fall. Substitute "beer" with "Sky Sports PPV" and try and wrap your head around that. Supply and demand is the most basic of business concepts. If you're going to bring it up, at least know how it works. It's not hard.
