Wow now Joshua wants in on the Wilder beat down action.
Good, give Wilder a chance to train with some real trainers. I doubt it’ll happen though.
“You look at the UK, which has maybe 25 percent [of the] population of the United States, maybe less,” Arum told Mannix. “I mean, they have 50 or 60 million people in the UK. We have 350 million people in the United States. In the UK, they do on a big fight over a million [buys on] pay-per-view, particularly if it’s, you know, prime time in the UK. And one of the reasons for their success is they charge appropriate prices for the pay-per-view. In other words, the pay-per-view goes for 20 or 25 pounds, of which the government takes 20 percent in the vat. So, people can pretty well afford that.
“In the United States, where we charge 80 or more dollars for a pay-per-view, people can’t afford that unless they’re gonna have big crowds in the house, chipping in. And because of the high price, they look for ways to watch the fight without paying, like streams and everything. Which, you know, the danger there is, other than breaking the law, which they probably won’t get caught, is that these streams get [shut] down and they miss seeing the fight. So, if we charge, go back to charging $40, I think you will see a tremendous increase in the number of homes that will buy it.”
He's right. $40 is the sweet spot. That and they gotta make the main even earlier. They are pushing into midnight with the main events, non-fans check out.
That's just fucking terrible. That's how you kill the sport. Two of the biggest names in British Boxing and you don't plan for Wembley? wtf?
And not for nothing that crowd in at the Ruiz v Joshua rematch was WEAK.
I know we got Rona, but this match should take place in a year to a year & 1/2's time (help us all if this shit ain't quelled by then).
