Pac v Floyd - Tickets might not even go on sale to general public and $100 PPV fee

[Ron Swanson]

The ratings for it will be fantastic so a regular station could make a huge bid. Whatever Floyd/Bob thinks brings the most money....

I'm wondering if they will do the 5-10$ PPV plan Bob had been formulating for China. There is so much to be made there.

What's that Ron, when you say Arums planned pricing, I didn't hear anything about that. Are you talking about a five to ten US pricing. Doesn't seem like that's happening but it would be nice. @Ron Swanson

I mean only in China. Bobs been working on a PPV model for over there. Just because of the insane numbers of people if they can get it going there is crazy money to be made.

Wonder which UK TV network gets to show it?

Sky PPV, BT Sports, Boxnation are all going to be making bids and i heard even ITV might try to get it as well.

The fee is gonna probably be the most expensive PPV fee that the UK has ever seen too.

Will it reflect the USA fee which works out around £58..?

Is anyone gonna seriously pay that much for it?

I usually watch most fights on YouTube the next morning or else a live stream if it's not to late but I'll be paying for floyd vs manny got to watch that live in perfect quality and even if it's £58 in the uk I would pay that for this fight.

Lol yes I need to watch that fight live and the streams I've tried before are just not good enough quality.

5 years later, am too old to care about it enough to fork out that amount.

Money and Hayman can find their moolah elsewhere

These fools are going to price themselves out of a fortune. It always happens at big events where a lot of good seats go unsold at stupid prices and become available at event time. There is no way I'm going to pay $100 for a PPV. I'll go to the local casino or sports bar and watch it free. The big betters who show up at ring side maybe thinking they will make their ticket money back, off their bet, which should make the arena an awesome atmosphere with so much as risk. With so much anticipation, I'm expecting we may see a few non-ring fights as well. I've been hearing it's not uncommon for a $30,000 bet to be put down on Mayweather.

Sky sports are apparently front runners to secure the fight

Floyd Mayweather Jnr takes on Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas on May 2
US fans will be charged $95.95 to watch the fight on pay-per-view
Sky Sports, BT Sport and ITV could bid to show it in the UK
The rights are expected to cost between £5m and £10m

[sanatogen]

Feel a moderately financially successful event will be outcome at that price.
If they had more time to publicise to wider audience, perhaps price wouldn't be so high.

Bob Arum has stated that ringside tickets will be around the $250,000 mark.

I hope whoever gets it does it as a one off ppv rather than a subscrpition !

[chris6878]

Stream or hit a bar... the only place id pay is at a movie theater. IVe seen a fight there and I must admit it was exciting , and the shit talking was great. 15$ thats my max

[smashup]

That's about £8 in English money.

Fuck it go wild... Live crazy


I heard Sky Sports Ppv have this nailed on.

Ringside tickets to Mayweather-Pacquiao run 250,000 dollars | Sporting News

I'd be amazed if they're that cheap. The MGM will want all the decent ones for the big gamblers who are coming to watch. These guys bet that much on a hand of cards or the spin of a wheel. There'll be more guys who want to watch this fight who are guaranteed to drop an eight figure sum in Vegas than there are really good ringside seats. You might get something fifteen rows back for that money.

Incidentally ringside seats for Matthysse-Provodnikov are $75. It's taking place in the ballroom of some backwoods New Jersey casino so if you can get there you stand to pick up a hell of a bargain and spend the night surrounded by characters out of the Sopranos.

Floyd-Manny ringside will cost you the price of a Roller. The price of a Matthysse-Provodnikov ringside ticket, which stands to be a much better fight if not event, wouldn't even fill your tank.
