Bob Arum On PPV Prices

[Hova]

I'm pretty sure everybody here is acquainted with the Chris Mannix's Sports Illustrated boxing podcast. In a recent episode, chris hosted Bob Arum and he had something to say about PPV prices.

He suggested lowering retail prices of pay-per-view events to $40 in order to entice boxing fans to purchase fights.

I'm with Bob Arum on this one. I mean, the last major pay-per-view boxing event in the U.S, Fury-Wilder 2 was $80 to watch in HD.

 

[Hova]

Well, in a post-corona world those prices need to be slashed in half!

Well, in a post-corona world those prices need to be slashed in half!

That would most definitely get more fans to purchase fights.

 

[Hova]

I would order more fights if they slashed prices by half.

Satellite transmission companies need to do the necessary changes right away. Everybody is taking cuts, they should too.

That is damn right!

If they cut PPV costs by 30-40% then most boxing fans will definitely order the fight.

Bob Arum is making a lot of promises. I hope he will be able to deliver with the whole pandemic thing currently making life a living hell.

 

[Olaf93]

Well, he has been known to deliver in the past. I'm confident he is not going to fail us.

Good point. But he needs to do it soon.
