PPV's are good for boxing. The sport thrives on it.

So your solution to shitty match making is ppvs? Brilliant.

 

PPVs arent just for top match ups, its also for airing shows other networks wouldnt put up money for

this issue is very complex. very. with that said, ppv has a purpose and a role. this role is changing as cable cartels lose power and cord cutting becomes more relevant.

 

Translation of TS argument:

'PPV's are good for boxing because i say so. I offer no evidence or analysis in support of this argument; just take my word for it yo'

 

At the rate PPV prices are increasing they'll hit the 100$ mark in the next 10 years. I don't believe this is a good thing because the price point demographic is getting smaller and smaller. The overall trend is diminishing PPV sales across the board. Low numbers for Mayweather and Pacquaio two of the most popular fighters in the game right now, and the blame is being placed on the match making. I think it has more to do with the push to 70$ price tags combined with fights that are clearly considered not PPV worthy by the paying fans. They're pricing themselves out of the market and when fewer and fewer fans watch your product it's not a good thing. I really can't see how a 70ppv that is bought by less than a million people grows the sport. Diminishing exposure can't be a good thing.

 

PPVs = too much ducking.

 

Enough said.

 

PPV was unheard of in the golden age of boxing AND everybody fought each other. Not sure how you came to your conclusion. PPV is killing the sport in the USA. **** has been going down hill since Tyson/King when PPV really took off. Boxing is barely a top 10 sport anymore. Sure Floyd and maybe a couple more make big bucks but that is coming to an end.

I think boxing flourishes and will continue to flourish outside of the USA because PPV is reasonably priced and/or fights are free. Keep in mind, the most popular sports in the world aren't PPV.

 

PPV is killing the sport.

 

Not this many damn PPVs.

 

Then your eltirado.
