PPV Predictions: GGG vs Canelo 2 (under a million)

1.125 stateside

 

The hurriicane on the east coast is definitely going to affect sales, but I think it pulls in around the same as the first time

 

I didn't know it was 80 don't know about that mother****ers taxing

 

1 million

 

<million

 

I’m guessing it doesn’t break a million, Mainly from the storm disruption

 

That is a lot of money. I used to love ordering the fights back in the late 80 and early 1990s when it was about 30 dollars.. Ordered a pizza have friends over and drink. Fun fun times.

 

Both of those fights involved 2 separate major promotions. This one is just under HBO and it's still ridiculously high.

 

Come on! Many boxers made tens of millions while not ever being in a single PPV fight. PPV only makes huge income differences and only really benefits a few boxers, while drastically diminishing the viewing audience.
It's a question of numbers, nothing more.
You just need a larger audience when it's on free tv or premium cable, and that's what you see in most European and Asian countries.

Maybe the US is too far gone to ever go back to the way it was, as the extremely low free tv boxing show numbers seem to indicate. But for the rest of the world (even Britain) that point certainly hasn't been reached yet.

 

Yep! Tired of every decent fight being thrown on PPV. Then you pay way more than you normally should. Hell, you can't even watch fights on ESPN without paying for that stupid APP. I hope these greedy promoters go broke as hell over this BS.

 

And another unwritten social convention is that when you buy a PPV, you're paying to see the fight without commercials. This fight had commercials and that's messed up.

 

People just need to stop buying that damn ppvs. I never will again.

 

That only counts if he's wearing fishnets.
