Mayweather Wants The PPV To Be £100 in The UK, Says Hearn

[ShadrachSimmo]

Please make it £100

I'm not going to buy it even if its normal price

I'd probably watch it eating my breakfast on sky plus if its free but that's it

Be better if it was a ton that could guarantee even a lot of casual fans not getting it.

I think they're vastly overestimating the popularity of this event tbh - I don't think it's going to sell particularly well over here. The UFC fans in the UK aren't used to PPV, and most of the ones I've spoken to acknowledge that the fight is a joke, as do hardcore boxing fans. And a lot of the casual boxing fans I've spoken to are still bitter about staying up til 6am watching Mayweather score a boring win over Pacquiao (obviously not realising that he's fought a negative style for the past 10 years or so), and are unlikely to pay to watch him again.

Anyone paying over 5 dollar to watch this obviously doesn't know anything about boxing.
But ok, who am I.

You're a shitbag who thinks Dillian Whyte is a coward.

And that person who "obviously doesn't know anything about boxing" still knows more than you

Well, if you think you know better, then proof it on PTBF. Atm you're just another random guy admiring me from a distance in a crowd screaming bullshit.

I disagree. The interest is massive.

Oh yeah, there's a lot of interest - but I'm just not sure that interest is necessarily going to translate into sales as well as they are expecting.

Not a chance in hell I'll be paying for this shower of sh1te.

[ILikeBeer]

Whoever thought this fight was going to be £100 was an idiot.

Probably just a few "fans" who have never watched boxing before, got interested in the fight, and assumed PPV worked the same in the UK as in the USA.

I heard that the most Sky would charge would be £25

They didn't for Mayweather vs Pacquaio and it really doesn't get much bigger than that.

MayPac was £25 on Sky...

[Crease]

MayPac was £25 on Sky...

I'm nearly sure that I got it for £19.95 - wasn't there a deal or something if you booked it early or something like that?

It was £20 if booked early £25 on the day if I remember rightly.

I'm almost certain it was £25 in advance, £29.95 on the day/night...

Same.

Edit: A quick Google search suggests I was wrong Seems it was £20 in advance and £25 on the day.

May Pac was also sold on a per viewing card basis and not per household . I had a load of people round for the fight so had it on in both rooms, cost me almost 50 notes

[TheCobra]

I think this fight will sell well in the UK. I've got a few fairly distant mates into UFC and they're buying into this hype enough to want to watch it. I'm sure there are enough meathead casuals in the UK for this to do pretty well.

Worth every penny.

Undercard -
Badou Jack v TBA

I've been interested in seeing TBA fight for a while. The problem is, he never turns up as scheduled.

Sets the scene nicely for TBE v TBA though, a TMT Show with TMNT and USMNT on the undercard.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Peterson/bey & porter/dulorme are on the free portion of the undercard.
