Anyone Think PPV Costs Too Much?

25 dollars would be a perfect price. I could get a few of my friends over and order a pizza and enjoy the fights like we used to do.

 

$25 would be perfect. Doubt it will ever happen.

Pff, In Australia it's $49.95.

I was all set on buying this fight since it was made, expecting it would cost $40. But when I went to order it and saw the exorbitant price, there was no freaking way I was giving 50 bucks to those greedy *******s Main Event. I'm now watching it at the pub tomorrow, atleast there'll be a better atmosphere.

A fight like Cotto-Pac has always been in the $30-$40 range (Hatton-Pac cost $40 for ****s sake), and only super mega fights like Hoya-PBF would reach $50. Now these pricks want to exploit Manny's popularity raising the price like that. **** them, they just lost a customer, and I wish alot more people do what I did and make them suffer for it.

 

Only once in a while we get a PPV bout worthy of the price and this is one of them, but for the most part yes PPV is way overpriced.

 

Haha, we get it over here for free. So was Maywather-DLH and Marquez. Basically every non-Haye and Khan fight.

 

Skysports is hardly free is it? It's a subscription channel and an expensive one at that. Just goes to show how well Sky are doing when people think they are getting stuff free but paying for it every month.
That was Hayes 1st PPV as far as I'm aware.

 

if there's any fight worth a 55$ price tag, this is it.

 

Only 16 quid here in the UK, that translates to about 300 dollars with the state of the dollar these days lol. Whats it like to live in a third world country?

It's free on SKY over here anyway.

 

Get a few people together and split the cost. This is the best way.

 

I've thought the same thing for awhile now. At $19.99, I think many people just say WTF and buy it. But, I assume those guys know what they are doing.

 

I think £15 is too much, i wouldnt want to pay $50..

 

I would hope it is free if you have to watch it at 3 or 4 am in the morning.

 

Hell yea it costs too much, 29.99 would work for me.

 

i think if PPV cost $25, 50x more fans would buy the fight. it's a joke how expensive it is. i miss so many fights just because i don't want to give my left nut to see them. ever wonder why bars and restaurants don't show boxing much anymore? it costs them thousands to get a fight on PPV.

 

yeah but in australia your minimum wage is $18/hr...

 

it is a big ****ing rip off,but thats how boxers get paid.if it wasnt much money involved we wouldnt have any great fighters in the world,who is going have there head punched about for pennies. nobody.

get your mates around to watch it and all chip in and share the costs,thats the best way to do it.makes a better night of it too.
