All but one of the ppv locations I've found in my area have sold out. I'm not sure how many in Seattle area. The are only 9 buffalo's throughout California showing the fight. I'm guessing there will be more viewing parties than typical. My brother in law is not buying it instead he off to a friend's house. I'm not and headed early to make sure I get a good seat at the casino restaurant showing it for free. I'm thinking the ppv will be less than expected because of the much higher price. My guess is about 2.4-2.8 million. There is all this demand but driving the demand even higher, turns people with limited budget off. This leads me to think there will be many more straps out there.
I live in a relatively small town and I heard 3500.00 for PPV at a small Italian restaurant, which they declined. We have a sports bar and a Spanish restaurant and both will have the fight, but I don't know what they had to pay.
Some of the sole proprietor businesses buy the home ppv. I don't know the rules for sole proprietors if they are actually considered commercial. I'm guessing if they have a cover charge they are considered commerical. If it is free, I think it might be a grey area.
