Picking PPVs: UFC255 or Tyson vs. Jones Jr.?

[ChinaMMABlog]

Two big PPVs in two weeks.
Not sure which one to buy.
Let's compare cards:

November 21
UFC 255 -- $64.99 on ESPN+
Figueiredo vs. Perez
Shevchenko vs. Maia
Perry vs. Means
Chookagian vs. Calvillo
Shogun Rua vs. Craig

November 28
Tyson vs. Jones -- $49.99 on Triller
Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr.
Jake Paul vs. Nate Robinson
Badou Jack vs. Blake McKernan
Viddal Riley vs. Rashad Coulter

Which one is a better card vs. which one is a better value? Or is it the same answer.

I forgot that Tyson/Roy Jones shit was this weekend

 

[PizzaandBeer]

You do know Tyson/Jones is like a 3 round exhibition right? Two 50+ yr old men will just dance around the ring lightly sparring for 5 mins and will mostly gas in the first min.

$50 for that?

UFC..

I won’t be buying either. But I’ll still watch them somehow

 

[Jibsta69]

I believe Tyson tried to have exhibition fight tour after he retired and only had 1 fight which didn’t get a good reception. This was also 2006 or 07. The referee in their fight is also told to stop the fight at any point if gets too competitive.

i don’t think the ufc card is worth it but since when is watching what will mostly likely be a friendly sparring session be worth 50 bucks?

 

[ignorant MMA fan]

Maybe if it was 10-15 years ago I'd say Tyson/Jones, but not now. They're too old.

 

[Bubba32]

ill be at a nice little stream for both.

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

Rather buy groceries with my money at least I'm getting my money worth than paying con artists

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Both cards are an absolute rip off

65 dollar for that garbage and 49 for two has beens boxing an exhibition

 

[eddymotto]

I am very curious how the Tyson - Jones fight does financially.

I would not watch it for free

If Tyson vs Jones Jr. does more than 5000 buys I will be surprised.

 

[daniel san]

If the UFC PPV was priced at around $20 for that piss poor card then maybe it’d be worth it, but for sure old man Tyson vs anyone.

Why not go to a sports bar and get both for free or a small cover charge? EDIT: Just been told NY bars will close at 10pm...WOW...fuck you COVID

Next weekend. But only thinking about buying 1 PPV this month.

8 rounds.
But will Tyson even need that?

I would not go to a sports bar this year. I would not go to any bar.

I do occasionally like watching fights at sports bars, but with the pandemic, there's no way I want to be around that many people. And watching fights at home on the couch is pretty comfortable.
