    BINGO!
    :good

    If this fight is a tremendous success, PPV's will never drop below $80 again, and that might be a BEST CASE scenario. If the casuals shun the industry, the biggest fight in boxing history might fall short of the high expectations and profitable projections.

    In a perfect world, it would be great if something like this was on network TV for everyone to see like the Super Bowl. But that, of course, is just a pipe dream.

    What are some of the recent fights that have been PPV on your side of the pond? Is that a common occurrence for fights in Vegas or elsewhere in the US? Or is it usually more for high profile "domestic" type fights on your end, like Froch-Groves?

    This was a fun video .

    Price in the UK with be £25.00 maximum. We dont go for these crazy numbers.

    Lets be honest 100 USD in terms of value is so far out its untrue. I cannot think of any other type of entertainment where you would pay this some of money for 30 minutes whilst sat at home on the sofa.

    I think we might see the odd coupon redeemable on the next PPV.

    No crying, just some whining. But I do stand by what I said, which was that I will buy the fight, but I'll be watching with a group.
