ah i see. but still considering it has 50 million subscribers it's safe to say a lot of people will get to watch him without ppv thats what i meant :good
People seem to question the business decisions of the networks no matter what. If this was on PPV and did 300k buys, people would be saying what a big money-loss it was. People now saying that not having it on PPV is a money loss too. Same thing when GGG was PPV, or Crawford. We can question whether a fight is worthy of PPV, but maybe we should trust that the business decisions are made by people who ****yse things in a more nuanced fashion than 'viewers x PPV = success'. It'll be on regular HBO. They'll have GGG ringside - they'll even have him in the ring after the fight taunting Canelo with the title he was stripped of. And they'll market the **** out of GGG off the back of Canelo, boosting GGG's viewing figures and possibly create an artificial snowball effect for their eventual fight. HBO want the GGG-Canelo fight - it's not happened because Canelo carries too much power at the negotiating table. To address that power requires some gerrymandering of the numbers - having a large portion of Canelo's viewers tune in for GGG-Brook (which is achievable through promotion of GGG via Canelo - HBO has done this for years) and beyond and, of course, count the Brook-GGG UK PPV figures towards GGG's selling power in the subsequent fight.
Who would pay $60 to watch El Pollo strut around the ring clucking ?? I wouldn't pay 60c I watch FIGHTERS!! not fairies
interesting take on it. hopefully this fight will bring back lots of boxing fans when it eventually does happen
When Canelo no longer appears on PPV it will be because he's a LOSER !!! Can't draw enough fans to PPV to meet "expenses" !!! :hey That's the BOTTOM LINE... The rest is BS !!!
