Well as long as it doesn’t affect you it doesn’t matter to every other boxing fan out there. Get real you tit. You’re the biggest moaner about PPV out there too for the record. So make your mind up. Are PPVs wrongs? Or are they ok because you have ways round it? Not everyone has got a dodgy box, not everyone can afford to go out 3 Saturdays in a row to watch boxing. Some people have families and that too so it’s not plausible to go out every weekend.
There is NO justification under any circumstances for charging existing Sky Sports or BT Sports subscribers an extra PPV charge. As you say, plenty of ways to watch without turning into a PPV mug. As for Dullian Whyte and Paint Dry Parker fighting for the Budgie Cage Bragging Rights Title at the O2, it is absolutely scandalous that Eh Day sticks this on Box Office.
£60 over 3 weeks? What’s that these days? What would you rather do have a months worth of heating and electricity or have 3 Saturday nights in a row being able to sit on your couch chilling watching some entertaining boxing?
They must of put up really good money to stage this. Personally I believe it gets the promoters out of a hole. Staging the fight a week after AJ v Povetkin in the UK may of been a problem selling tickets. Trying to promote and market the fight while all media attention would be on AJ v Povetkin would of been a nightmare. Now it doesnt matter if they shift no tickets as the Saudi's will have a paid a hefty fee to stage the fight.
When the WWE went to Saudi in April: We reported last week that WWE’s higher-ups were unsure the market in Saudi Arabia was strong enough to support an event of this size. But after the Saudi government offered them $20 Million upfront and said they would handle ticketing for the event, WWE obviously changed their tune. It’s more than likely the Saudi government have lost money on the event due to selling tickets for as low as 3 U.S. dollars (Despite the average Saudi citizen’s income being $10,000 a year higher than the average income of someone living in the U.S.), but they probably don’t care! As we have mentioned previously, the event was all about generating positive PR for the Arab Kingdom overseas.
Too late then. They need to get this wrapped up. George Groves will no way wait until December for his next fight
Well what I mean is what if the funds dissapear like they often do for these middle eastern super fights that never happen.
