Boxing pay per view.
« on: 31 May 2014, 20:37:11 »
Assume for a minute that you like boxing. Also assume you would like to see the Frotch v Groves fight. And yes we'll all have to assume we have sky.

Now, assuming AAAALL of those things, how much would you be prepared to pay to see the fight?


Answering its irrelevant as you don't have sky, or not interested in boxing, or sick to death of hearing about this particular fight (I know I am) won't cut it.

I want to know how much you think is reasonable to pay.



.....this is going to be a complete waste of time I know ;D

Need a free option. If I paid a monthly subscription to a TV company, I wouldn't expect PPV.

Not that I'm a particular fan of boxing (but would possibly watch it if it was on, free), and don't have Sky, so I'm not really able to answer ;D

As a matter of interest .... having never paid to watch a boxing match either live or on TV ...if the match is scheduled for 12 rounds, and you've paid say £20 for a ticket ... if it ends after 6 rounds do you get £10 back ?? and would this apply to PPV ?? after all .. a half pint of beer costs less than a full one ..... :)

On the basis that rules in parlour games are there to be broken. My answer is No, No, No, No, and No. HTH ::) :P ;D ;D ;D

Aye..?   ;D


My dear Enty, that would depend on the quality of finish. It must be said, a worthy end IMO.

Now they can stop incessantly banging on and on in the media, for days and days and days about how one is going to "do" the other, and  I'm going to beat you, and no no I'm going to beat YOU. And, that nasty man pushed me, and.... oh FFFFAAAAAR COFFEEE WIL YA.

...ahem. Sorry, all better now. :)

Sorry - I've never thought about how much they'd have to pay me to watch a boxing match. :-\

It was all so much easier years ago, when allegedly, the promoter decided beforehand who was going to win. ::) ::) ::)
