Pay Per View is one thing that is wrong with boxing.

showtime and hbo should join forces and eliminate the promoters.

 

Promoters truly believe that boxing fans are very stupid/inhuman...............promoters are very greedy, so much so that they will destroy boxing. It's time the fans get together and quit paying for their over-priced fights.............under cards are horrible, crooked referees, crooked judges. Why? Because they know that boxing fans will just dish out even more money for their crappy fights. In Europe, Klitschkos have had 65,000 live at ringside, in America, very unlikely. Pac draws very well, and the one big super fight will never happen because Mayweather is extremely afraid of Pac. Mayweather does not care about the fans, he also knows than his fans will do anything he tells him, they always believe anything he says. We will not see Pac/Void until the fans get angry enough to stand up to someone like Mayweather.................

 

Yes, I am so glad I did not buy this fight. If I had bought it I would be very angry...............if fans do nothing about this PPV will be $100 per fight and with a crappy under card................This fight appears to be a rip-off...........

 

The biggest boxing matches haven't been free for a long time. Before PPVs, it was closed circuit

The problem is the amount of crap that is put on PPV, and the prices of a lot of the PPVs.

And obviously, the lack of sponsors and boxing on network TV

 

atsch dream killer...sounds like a commie enforcer...lets all force farmers to work on assembly lines

PPV is what makes boxers the top paid athletes, it all trickles down to under cards and journeymen...who build up PPV stars

People love to be exclusive...watch PPV, if you can't afford PPV watch RBR/YouTube

 

sports atheletes make 20mil a year sometimes. How much do you think most of these fighters make? No need to compare when they are so vastly different

 

Sports fighters have endorsements. There are commericials at SUPER BOWLS. Ad company pay for that.

Boxing is boxing. No commercials just sport . PPV is the only way fighter get big purses.

You don't like, you don't buy. Im all for making money.

 

I never paid for a single PPV in my life and never will. No worse feeling than being ripped off.

 

Only a ******ed ****** would compare boxing to Soccer and other similar crap. In boxing these fighters literally put their lives on the line to entertain fat incompetent ***gots like you and deserve the money for it. It's simple, don't pay for "shitty" fights and go watch 40 grown men fake injuries, jump in the sky, argue and chase a ball.

 

well nobody is forcing you to watch it *******!!

 

PPV used to be great in the beginning when you had amazing cards filled with top fighters facing each other. For example you had Holyfield/Tyson II, Moorer/Botha, Hamed/Molina, Wright/Bingham and Benn/Collins II all on the same card on the 9th Nov 1996.

PPV is over used and because of this has damaged the sport of boxing. Now it has turned boxing from a mainstream sport to a fringe sport and made fighters fight less often.

PPV should be only used for special cards or events not routine defences. Top fighters would be household names and receive more endorsements because of their greater public profile if they fought more on free TV. But as long as fans keep paying for **** cards PPV will continue to be over used.

 

the promoters know that, with boxing having multiple 'world champions', (few of whom SHOULD be credible) all they have to do if buff a fighter's record and feed them to the media.

a 4 time world champion in any other sport apart from boxing means you're a bona fide legend of the sport.
but a 4 time world champion in boxing can be as ridiculous and dishonest claim

doesn't matter who people 'blame', it's the federations that fragment boxing and allow this. they are the source of all problems in boxing

 

Ricky Burns being a so called two weight world champion is prime example of this.
