I would 100% mirror your post if I was in a position to get PPV although I don't have that service at all.... But that is rubbish... PPV is not worth it considering the result will be splattered all over the news for 2 days before the fight... that is so dumb...
Does that mean that even some of the pubs and sports bars where they may have shown the fight might possibly not have access to the fight live as well
It was always going to be online stream for me anyway, but i'm as hyped about this fight as you and would definitely have paid for it if I had the chance, and would have been irrate over it being delayed 2 days... Why the hell can't it even be delayed a few hours? Until the UFC garbage is over? I mean, the fights are usually on around 2 or 3 pm here, so a delay of even 6 or 7 hours would be fine..
It shows that the businessmen running the stations and making the decisions aren't in the same mind space as the people that actually pay for the damn service.. Wonder how it would have went if it was Pac Mayweather.. Or Tyson Holyfield? For all Mayweather's fights and undefeated record, this just shows how much Mayweathers big mouth has hurt him....
Sure his true fans will love him none the less, but what makes a real boxing superstar is a personality that appeals to ALL boxing fans, including fringe fans, and even to the extent of people OUTSIDE boxing..... That is what an ODLH or a Tyson can do... If Mayweather didn't have such an ego that he actually controlled his image and made himself into an appealing guy, we'd be getting this fight.. but at this point, it's seen by the business people that the only people who are interested in his fights or either
A) Because they are his diehard fans.
B) They hate him and want to see him get KO'd.
C) They are tuning in because of his opponent.
