It’s not as simple as is being hinted at here.
The Saudis are losing millions to put events on, the real world cannot do that.
Eventually every sporting event will be PPV, from 99p to watch a lower tier football match to $100 for the Super Bowl or whatever.

But if you're not paying monthly fees then you can pick and choose what you want to see and pay accordingly

Yes and no mate. I’ll never pay for Sly or a TNT PPV but I don’t mind my DAZN sub at all. fornicate all wrong with streaming if you ask me

I also subscribe to DAZN, signed up when it was £2 and it's only a tenner now, really enjoy it as there is random boxing on too which I'd never know about, there were 3 cards on at same time few weeks ago. Daughter watches the random sports too.

Yeah mate that’s what I was on about with the random cards thing I said. Not gonna turn down two Italian Flyweights at 6PM on a Wednesday are we?

What’s ye daughter watching? My two nieces are getting in to netball and I don’t have the heart to tell them it’s shite

Bet the other American promoters are pissed off as they charge a load more over there for their PPVS.

It's has next to zero interest among most sports fans and I think the numbers will be very low, as they probably have been with many of these Saudi cards.

This Turkey genius has already tried the gouging route and it clearly hasn't worked so now he's trying something else.

Barrera v Morales wasn't ppv in the UK so zero reason this should be. Hardly as though the Bernard Matthews man needs the coin either.

Got to agree , has much has i am looking forward to this fight , if i mention there names to most casual boxing fans , they look and say , who are they , can't see it being a great seller , certainly would'nt pack out my local pub if they put it on , Conor Mgregor would though

Yeh, they bumped up Wilder-Zhang as headliner and it was PPV

Boxing fans are mugs and hypocritical. Yes - it will be wrong of me to say the original Dazn sub wasn't excellent value, it was.... then came the first price hike (okay - acceptable), then came the second one ( - grumbles start), then the third etc..... and now with PPVs - massive grumbles ("you said no PPVs eddie") - to "okay, fair enough if its to get Canelo to the UK" - to "well at least we are not as bad as the US"..... to "good value for a PPV".

The sport is ridiculously expense but the majority carry on paying and even say we have got it good.

The Dazn sub should cover everything.

And yes its not just Dazn, same applies for Sky also - but Dazn is still in the main only boxing fans.

PPV's were originally for exceptionally special cards or main events then it just transcended into any decent fight with just the bang average stuff on the usual channels.

Plus the broadcasters can't even bring themselves to stop adverts throughout the show and during rounds, even for the main event. Absolute pisstakers.
