I'm hoping that with all the hoopla and spectacle of this fight, and the aforementioned decision turns off people from wanting to spend money on another pay-per-view either by Mayweather or any other fighter. As I've said before here is for more network fights!
PPV is a dying business in general I think, and this might be the nail in the coffin for it.
Especially with how many were unable to purchase the fight. How could they not be prepared for the late buys? They've been doing PPV so long but still don't prepare for the trends that happen every single time? Sometimes I'm still shocked by the incompetence of others.
good riddance if PPV is gone.
I think they'll get rid of PPV, but it'll become like the Superbowl: you'll get it free but you'll sit through a ton of commercials to do so. They can't just put on fights for free, they need to get some kind of revenue stream coming in other than ticket sales.
I like it. I like it, a lot! Do not, get between me and my PPV unless you want to go to jail for beating up an old man! Lol
I'm more than willing to pay for the convenience of setting in my front room, surrounded by friends, family, and food and drink.
Like last night I could watch the fight, listen to the crew behind the mic, talk to my friends, get up and take a leak between rounds, see what y'all are thinking on my iPhone, and ask everyone to shut up when I feel the need to pontificate. Lol. Sometimes they even listen.
Do not, mess with my PPV! Psst! You can even hear what they're saying in the corners between rounds. If I didn't have PPV, I wouldn't have heard what Reggie Miller had to say about the fight or seen Clint Eastwood, Paris, Mary J, or Otley walk in.
This fight pretty much guarantees the next ppv will be a dud.
Unfortunately in England PPV seems to be making a big comeback, I was quite happy paying £12 a month for BoxNation, I got to watch all of the big fights in America and nearly every week there was a full card of domestic fights, they weren't always great fights but it was better than watching Britains got talent or some other shite like that.
Now Hearne has seen the money he can make for it he is putting fucking terrible cards on
Brook v Gavin
Mitchell v Linares
Joshua v Johnson
Thanks but no thanks, I think I will be getting a stream for that one.
Quality PPV for your money mostly ended with Don King. $100 for one fight and two showcase gimmes is milking a dead cow
