How much are the usual mega mma ppv events?
How much are the usual mega mma ppv events?
No extra charge.
They're shown on BT Sport.
America gets fucked for them though, about $60 IIRC.
They are really filling dana white and conor mcgregor's pockets for this one.
Aren't WWE PPVs ludicrously expensive in the States?
Not anymore because they serve them through their subscription service. If you're the kind of numpty that just pays for Wrestlemania then yes, they destroy you.
It would be so good if the PPV absolutely bombed for this (it probably won't) - I wonder who takes the bigger hit on poor PPV - presumably it's split pretty equally between promotors, fighters and TV networks?
$10 a month for the subscription (you also get more) or around $45 for an individual event.
Tough choice.
They'll get a cut of the PPV buys too though.
The £130 is pub landlord prices, according to twitter.
I'm a twit
I think the standard deal is that fighters get a cut of the American buys, with the overseas rights being sold for a single fee. The PPV doing terrible business here wouldn't affect the promoter or the fighters in any significant way, I don't think, but it would be an incantation against Sky trying to charge that sort of money for any big event in future
Will this shite actually have any reach beyond internet fanboy 'Who would win a fight between a shark and a komodo dragon?' type arguments?
At least sharks and komodo dragons are interesting.
Sorry are there about a thousand press conference around the world or something? Each day there's a different venue bit the same trash talk. People seem to love it as well.
They went to canada, USA and England for their press tours. There were only three but chopping and cutting each tour and posting seperate videos online will take us into next year
Can we keep this thread on topic and talk about boxing?
Bargain
Places like stubhub are a disgrace.

£19.95, I'll be ordering it.
Me too. I was gonna either stream it illegally or download it in the morning, but for £20 I may as well guarantee it's watchable and make a night of it. I've a first birthday party the day after it too; I'm gonna be a sleepy godfather that's for sure.

It makes me sad that you would pay for such a circus.
We live in a world of pure fuckris. Entertainment at its finest. It should be completely non-competitive but in order for this to sell and it will. Conor has to convince us he can win, and floyd has to convince us he could lose which both have done effectively well. You can have a fight party around this event.
It's pretty much universally accepted that Mayweather is going to walk this, isn't it?
He should although the fact he is 40 now and been away from the sport for two years is the only asterisk on this. He could blow out his knee or twist an ankle in david haye fashion.
No matter who wins there'll be somebody to lol at, which is really all that matters.
Yeah lol at the multimillionaires.
There's quite clearly a lot at stake for both of them. You don't get that rich and successful without becoming an arrogant twat that cares about pride and reputation.
I will continue aiming my lolling at anyone paying for this shitshow.
Its like some unscripted WWE event this is.
Exactly, I'll find a stream for the actual fight. If there aren't any then it's no great loss.
As if he won't be eating pork scratchings and watching Roy 'Chubby' Brown.
Saturday night is normally Jim Davidson night at chez Disco.
Vitali has retired. Fantastic but dull champion.

Don't believe what you hear in the media. Don't believe what you hear on blog sites. If it's not coming directly from me, then it's not true. I'm telling McGregor, "Let's fight in 8 oz gloves". McGregor can fight in any brand he prefers or chooses. I'll be wearing 8 oz Grant gloves. Whatever advantage McGregor needs to feel more comfortable in the ring, I'm willing to accommodate. Let's give the boxing and MMA fans what they want to see.
The athletic commission will deny the request though, Floyd knows what he's doing.
$300M for 36 minutes work.
Neymar eat your heart out.

Amir Khan's twitter seems to be suggesting AJ is now banging his ex wife.
She seems to be made out of 80% snapchat filter
She's hideous.
Looks like a transformer.
Lomachenko is fighting live on Boxnation tonight. That one snuck up on me.
He is giving a title shot to a guy coming off a lose and fighting in a new weight class. Its a stay-busy fight for loma
Still worth watching though. He's great fun.
