What qualifies as a pay-per-view fight? Bob Arum is not so sure anymore

Make PPVs cheap, reliable and too convenient compared to dodgy streams. That’s how Netflix won over many people who used to torrent films and tv shows.

$60 is too much for one event where the undercard is weak and the main card might not deliver.

This fight is far from PPV worthy. Can’t believe it’s even being considered.

The real ripoff is the asking price of most PPV's, a lot that do not even deserve to be PPVs like this one.

Another sorry fight on PPV. If I'm not able to see it at my local sports bar for $15, I won't be seeing it. I refuse to pay more to see a fight that I didn't ask as a fan to be made.

This will be a fun fight and very risky for Teofimo.

I’m glad its not going to be on PPV.

I can't get my head around the idea that the Superbowl, Stanley cup final etc, etc,etc are not PPV. But in boxing a run of the mill fight should be at an exorbitant PPV price in the mind of Bob Arum and others. Get your act together and get sponsors and sell seats like all the other sports do. In my view it would be impossible to be a boxing fan and see most of the fights without "stealing" PPVs.
So, if PPV's are well policed I will just quit watching. That would be cutting off your nose to spite your face Mr Arum.

It shouldn’t be ppv anyway.

Poor Bob. I feel for him.
