Back in the days of old, I bought every PPV and knew every fighter on the card. I watched the whole card top to bottom. After about a decade of this, I joined a gym that would show every PPV on every screen in the gym and also set up a giant projection screen. They also had some type of food and beer stand set up where you can buy a meal and drink for a reasonable price. Not only that, gym members could invite friends for free. They even showed Mayweather vs McGregor. Needless to say, I stopped buying PPV’s during that time. Get my workout in and watch my favorite sport.
I eventually moved to South Korea where PPV’s were $24.99, but have since increased to $34.99. I still used to buy all the PPV’s, until I found out the local sports channel shows the whole PPV for free about 4-5 hrs after the event. This works for me since in Asia, UFC PPV’s broadcast Sunday morning, and I don’t want to sit at home midday watching something. I can watch the card at night…as long as I stay off Sherdog for the day.
Needless to say, I no longer purchase PPV’s… but got me thinking… fellow Sherbros in the US who buy PPV’s have to spend, what, $80.00?? For those of you who buy PPV’s at that price (I know, I know.. the cool kids don’t buy PPV’s), how many fights have to interest you?
On this last card, I actually bought the PPV for $34.99 because I had stuff to do at home, and I wanted to watch Shavkat live, and was hoping Tony would win and call it quits… but I don’t know if Shavkat alone would get me to throw down $80 or whatever the price is now. I’d say at least 3-4 fights for me..
