Re: PPV in the 1960' and 1970's
As a kid, one of the neighborhood bars got the closed circuit/PPV broadcasts on satellite. All the adults packed in for the fights, us kids would huddle around the side door and watch from outside because we weren't allowed inside. Thinking back in my head, I can almost smell that place (that typical bar smell of cigars, whiskey and that stuff they used to clean the felt on the pool table).
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
