Haye v Fury on PPV -

I'd pay for the fight, because of the personalities involved.
I don't know if it will be a good fight or not.
I admit I'd just buy it for the 'soap opera' aspect of it.

EVERYONE, or 99.99% of people on this board would buy it. Most of you bought Haye v Harrison for ****'s sakes. atsch

 

This would need a good undercard because I doubt the main event would last too long but I wouldn't object to it being on PPV.

 

I doubt Fury can get past Pulev.

He'll probably have at least one loss on his record when he fights Haye.
I'm guessing no earlier than December of this year.

 

The Bonin, Barrett, Ruiz and Chisora fights were all fun whilst they lasted.

 

Of course you wouldn't. Putting fights behind an exclusive paywall is the best way to grow casual interest in the sport.

 

Barrett & Ruiz were just a couple of punch bags... The Chisora scrap wasn't a good fight either.

Haye v Fury would be awful...

 

You have an incredibly low, almost childlike, understanding of why PPV is beneficial to the sport or the entertainment industry as a whole. I think you see it as basically as 'more viewers = better for boxing'.

 

I don't know if that's true, but if the PPV sells big then it proves the level of interest that there is.

 

I enjoyed all three of those fights. Some people are never happy!

 

I agree. :good

 

Are you suggesting that more people watching the sport is bad for boxing? Or are you suggesting that selling your product to an ever-dwindling pool of viewers is a solid long-term strategy?

I think I'll stick with my child-like understanding, thanks!

It doesn't prove that at all. It just proves that it was marketed well. Haye-Valuev was massive, but I didn't see people picking up the sport in larger numbers. Calzaghe-Lacy, however, did see that result. Why was that, do you think?
