Mayweather Vs. McGregor on ITV Box Office?

[rd350lc]

ITV picks up all the best boxing.

You are at troll level 100 today

And no takes so far !

They'll go as high as they think they can get away with.

Boxing fans are mugs and will pay 20 quid for a khan salita PPV so they know that boxing fans will pay the £60 but will the casuals?

This whole shitstorm is for the casuals. The guys at the watercooler in the office that know dick about Boxing or MMA will be talking about "the fight". They're all going to buy it.

That's why I wouldn't be surprised they orchestrate it so that we see a rematch. Say Mayweather wins on an injury where they go to the cards but he's been "chinned" in the round prior and the casuals will lap up the McGregor was robbed angle. That's probably the best way to sell a rematch. They'll know that from the Froch groves saga.

Ain't gonna be no rematch.

Anything but Mayweather dominance is unacceptable for Floyd. There is no scam or plot, Floyd would never risk his standing in boxing by letting this circus derail a twenty year career. The only way this goes any other way than we expect is if Mcgregor pulls off an upset somehow.

[handsofstone]

I'll buy it if its under £20 even though I know its a circus but the being the boxing snob that I am I will justify it to my associates who are petty casuals by telling them I'm really paying for the stellar undercard which may include Gervonta Davis fighting a guy who used to be half decent at Featherweight 5 years ago and therefore world class and maybe Badou Jack's long awaited debut at 175 against say Jean Pascal

That's where my heart truly lies

Mayweather officially owes 26 million to the taxman for. 2015 and will owe 40% of whatever he makes from this fight on top of that. He needs a rematch. He's only in the game for money and you can't make this kind of money any other way.

He has no money troubles, no way in hell there is a rematch. Zero.

[handsofstone]

Not in a million years does Mayweather let that 0 go on purpose, its the only thing he loves more than money

"RUMOURED Mayweather v McGregor UK PPV price has been set at £89.99 if you have a full Sky Sports subscription if not it's £129.99!"


Now I won't pay £15 for it but surely no-one is going to be tempted by stupid figures like this.
£60, now £89.99/£129.99 Has to be a piss-take

[sweetscience]

[boxingknockout]

I assume this would be the highest Sky PPV price yet? What is the next highest?

I wouldn't be surprised if SKY use this event as a testing ground for future PPV prices... I wouldn't be surprised at £34.95 plus

I tend not to believe anything I read on Facebook. Particularly when it ends with an exclamation mark. Like this!

[aidenp25]

I can't see it being more than £29:99 with it. Or starting till 5am

I saw 129, the other day ago

Divvy price

Cant see it being that

Expect £20-£25 region.

It'll bomb spectacularly if it was £99-£129

[ILikeBeer]

I'll be amazed if it's anywhere close to be £100 for a PPV. Who is going to pay that?

I'd be surprised if it's even £50.

[aidenp25]

My limit would be £25, not a chance I would pay any more!!

[tony1234]

What will SKY charge for the next Joshua fight if they can get £30 or more for this farce

[Stuarty]

Must be on Sky surely? It's constantly on their website everyday. No way am I paying for it. I'll watch YouTube the next day if I can be arsed.

[stujones]

Why do boxing posters always make these bold claims about PPV costs... surely it is putting thoughts into TV execs head. No, not suggesting they read boxrec everyday - but it is on so much forums / social media - what people are prepared to pay etc.

What was Mayweather vs Pacquiao - £20??.... okay this fight might bring in some UFC fans.... but at the moment in the UK, UFC fans get all the action not via PPV - so it would be a bit odd them testing the waters by charging a rediculous sum.

We've always had a different system / mentality when it comes to PPV than the states... It is very much part of the US lifestyle.... PPV's in the states 20 years ago were more than what we pay today (by some distance). Lets not forget it is only in the last 2 years that PPVs have been brought back by Sky. It is still relatively knew.

There is no way anyone will be prepared to pay more than their Sky Sub costs for one fight.

Making it £25 will be risky... my bet is it will be £19.99.
