[@jediknight2350]

its the same old story if it was 5 bucks to watch they would make more because more people would buy it but humans are thick .

[@shoneast6880]

Im happy i streamed it for free and ufc fights. Dont care about rich people complaining theyre not richer. 20$ max and ill start buying.

[@Isaac_blingz]

thats not something to be proud about, its basically robbing. i'm not claiming to be a saint though but we should not be proud of wats bad

[@Roland8]

@@Isaac_blingzwhat they charge is robbing. So we are basically Robin Hood.

[@trollmastermike52845]

Imagine being such a bum you can afford the first undisputed heavyweight fight in 20 years😂😂😂 Go watch your grown men play grab ass 😂😂😂😂

[@Thor_Asgard_]

pure greed shouldnt be supported, good on you sir.

[@markedwinwebb]

Most people who watch free streams, like myself, would not pay for the fight anyway. So the claim that it costs them so many millions of dollars is completely misleading.

[@MEqwed]

20 years ago Tyson vs holyfield was free on local TV

[@zerog4261]

Definitely true.

[@68majortom]

​@@MEqwedwe were getting Tysons Pre Champion Fights free plus his Title Win all the way to the Buster Douglas Fight, Hagler/Hearns Hagler/Mugabi. Boxing was always on the TV for nil.

[@user-ry5rt4yo1d]

The night of Joshua v Ngannou, I paid 25€ here in Germany to DAZN and they asked I verify my account using my ID. Since I'm a temporal residence holder, the verification was rejected even after taking my money already. I couldn't watch through the platform and they never refunded me and since then I said F*CK it! 💀

[@jamesdheel1568]

​@@MEqwedI was in middle school when Tyson fought Holyfield. Closer to 30 years ago man

[@supermanacf]

They literally play ads during a 50 dollar + pay per view event... Hard to empathize.

[@WhiteyMcCrackerson]

Amen

[@user-ps5rl5xr7o]

Lol lets be honest most people in the comments streamed it illegally... KURT...$79 is a weeks salary in my country....actually 2 weeks if you have a casual job.. So unless u middle class or have cash reserves, most boxing fans cannot afford it.

[@user-rt2wf1eo2s]

Damn bro where you from?

@@user-rt2wf1eo2s south Africa, bro $80 is like a monthly car payment here( nothing fancy) or half the rent...like 80% of my country can live of a $100 a month

[@user-ef1lc4bt6r]

Yeah, I’m sure the companies that illegally stream give their exact details.

[@Silverfox40-]

I watched the fight on Hesgoal completely free not telling what link it was. If boxing want to get rid of the dodgy refs and officials then I would probably pay for watching fights. Hail the freebies

[@MEqwed]

indeed i counted at least 80 illegal shot from Fury, 30 low blows at least...besides what happened on round 9th; Usyk really deserved his Victory

[@billkeaveney1526]

Promoters are insanely greedy

[@madvladza]

Yes cause pricing is wild

[@dazzaninja2584]

£24.99 in the uk 🇬🇧

[@mindofgaz6016]

Think that's steep tbh.

[@carlbrown5841]

If I don’t think a fight is worth the PPV I won’t watch it live. I will watch the highlights but I’m not streaming it illegally that’s just my choice. I will listen to counterpunch live, wave or Showbizz but for me the undisputed heavyweight championship fight was well worth paying to watch live 🥊

[@qaidikramuddin]

If people in Europe and America are complaining about how expensive it was, which it was, then us living in countries with weak currency (South Africa) were screwed over.

[@zerog4261]

How much was it there? Uk was cheaper than the U.S

[@pavloryzhkov]

Paying for dazn subscription every month waiting that one day it will worth it. Than they charge another £30 for ppv. Why paying for subscription when it gives you nothing. Better go to a local pub.

[@edijskrilovs7635]

Paid 19.99 eur on DAZN, so thats a steal compare to US prices.

[@nathankenworthy1150]

I definitely did not watch it illegally 🤥

[@fletch9702]

The rights holders lost the square root of Jack Sh!!t. Those that streamed it simply wouldn't have watched if they didn't have the option of streaming, so the revenue stream remains EXACTLY the same.

[@Velosirraton]

only 20 usd for me, I paid the PPV at DAZN, I'm happy I live in CHile and not the USA.

[@mayurjoshi6631]

$20 for me also in India

[@sj4632]

I paid for it...Worth every penny...But it cost only 22 bucks...

[@Marabarra94]

i payd for a change. DAZN. Was worth it...

[@talmacgroup7836]

I have never asked anyone to fight for my entertainment. They do it I will watch

[@pale96_47]

I tried buying ppv but it wasn't available in Australia for some reason soooo....

[@IzidorPokrivac]

I paid 19,99€ on DAZN.

[@darraghkane18]

American ppv prices are crazy. I thought €27 was pricey. Even if it was a reasonable price because it’s not a physical tangible product people dont see it as stealing. I don’t particularly care about Saudis but there are other industries that do suffer greatly from this.

[@thunderzproductions5474]

Paid 70 in Canada 🇨🇦. Was worth it

[@thomasveysey4684]

I actually enjoyed fight money well spent I actually liked the card too

[@doncuadrado8489]

£25 and I paid it. I pick and choose but for Usyk fights, I'm happy to pay it. Think I read that the Jine 1st card in Saudi is also PPV which I'm not playing.

[@hyts0404]

I understand you Kurt and I agree on it, but it is also human behaviour. I read a lot of forums where people are hunting for illegal streams where the PPV prize is about 10-15 euros - talking about Europe, which is disgusting. There is a loot of people who wanna see a circus act and not willing to pay even 10 EUR for a fight card.

[@innerdaniels5175]

Of course you are right. its plain simple. The PPV price most be not more then 10% of the what an average ticket price that the fight would do per country.for Example. This would be about 15 to 20 euros for the Netherlands, 30 pounds in England and 35 dollars in the US. Would make it affordable and grow the sport back to number 1 status worldwide.

[@jimmccoal2693]

Yes it was expensive , but for this fight I payed. Happy New Years !! Well worth it.

[@darrencarter9812]

The price was different depending on location. I live in Indonesia and it cost me $2.20.

[@arealfighter4643]

$78 on dazn in the states.

[@picturemerollin1]

I paid for it in full and always do. Just happy we are getting the good fights.

[@MichaelBucklin-zi6bq]

Kurt, I saw all three Wilder vs. Fury fights at the movie theater for $25.00 a piece, a great way to see the fights, worth the money.

[@cloudychris5052]

Thankyou app store

[@15markav15]

I know of 3 people who streamed the fight, if they didn't have access to stream for free they would have not watched it at all, so it probably did not cost the broadcasters much at all, sure there were many like that.

[@taz4100]

The estimate is assuming something like 1 in 15 would have been buyers. Its like 5 dollars a stream and estimated as lost. But 20 million isnt correct due to stream switching, people jumping in and out waiting for main and people in countries that couldnt buy it.

[@oracleelectronica]

it aint costing them nothing coz the people who cant afford it dont pay if they no how to

[@Z3R0_83]

I paid £25 for the fight on prime. Which I thought was ok tbh, any higher I wouldn't have. They should keep prices low though so everyone can watch and enjoy. If they want people to watch and stay interested keep the damn prices affordable

[@user-ps5rl5xr7o]

My fibre costs me the equivalent of 20 dollars....and while i dont mind supporting fighters by paying for pvv( which i do do) sometimes its way over priced, when i can just dtream it of my $20 fibre connection

I scrounge off the benefits so I had to listen to on the radio. I was going to go down the pub but I spent my benefits on Coke when I bought it look like coke it was crush sleeping pills so I fell asleep I missed the fight.😢

[@thebigsheethouse9965]

🤣🤣🤣

[@robertjohn6354]

Listened to it , jumped between here and Carl Froch . Saw the full fight on KZbin within the hour . We used to get all title fights and other sports in the UK as part of the package of the TV licence before the internet . Had Sky in the '80s boxing was free , then they started PPV when they had the financial clout to buy the rights to the fights and sports , I stopped watching live back then when Mike Tyson was in his prime :( , on principal . Sadly , there are enough mugs prepared to be fleeced , so the PPV will continue , and the max price they can squeeze out of the punters.

[@Isaac_blingz]

wow

[@garethwonham]

Simple fact is whether it was £10 or £50, people are going to try and watch jt for as cheap as possible and illegal streams are the bane of the industry. Added to the fact in the uk we have to pay for pretty much everything. Then fight fans will always look for a cheaper or free alternative, especially when most of the time, fights are not good and not even worthy of being pay per view. The point of pay per view is that is should be a special event, in which customers feel a need to be part of. However, we now have virtually all the fights by the top fighters at pay per view and this is the problem. The big question is what happens with boxing when the Saudi love affair is finished and fighters eventually have to go back to the old model.

[@andreademontis8807]

In italy with dazn I paid 28$.

[@michaelkuzma582]

2 bars in the village share the businesses 50/50 so one bar owner decides to lower the price of his beer and starts to get 75% of customers now the other bar sees what is happening and because he is losing business he decides to increase the price so that the 25% he still has compensates for the loss instead of trying to be business smart and create the same conditions that both bars shared prior, personally i wouldn't have paid more than £10

[@GoodOlDavey]

Well I'd they made the fights £10 people will buy , $70 in America is crazy , even £25 in the UK is average but cost of living atm, if it was £10 I'd pay that for most events regardless.

[@jamesrich8463]

how do they know it was 20 million+ people I wonder... Sounds like a lot wow.

[@miket1210]

There is a difference between costing right holders and having a delusional belief that even a fraction of those would pay for the fight. It would be like saying every one that brought a knockoff rolex would have brought the real deal if the knockoffs didn't exist.

[@rascalmatt6713]

On another note .... Kurt... did you see the video where Holyfield came into Usyk's dressing room before the fight... and the video where Holyfield shows off the new watch that Usyk got him as a gift ?

[@DeeTeaDee]

My issues Kurt I bought this fight PPV from DAZN I chose DAZN out of the three choices of SKY & TNT simply coz Barry Jones was on coms My ISSUE was tho. Did everyone else’s stream have COMMERCIALS in between rounds!??? Mine did!! Not every round but maybe the first 6 !??? I was FUMING!!! I didnt pay 26 quid for ADVERTS during the fcking FIGHT man!

[@danielday3374]

That’s gotta be a record or something surely

[@rosewoodsteel6656]

I paid around $70, as well. But Kurt, my guess is if the price had been $40, people still would have ripped off the broadcast. If it was $10, they still would have done it.

[@dirtyandnasty9011]

I streamed it because it was 35 here in France including the 1 month subscription (which I don't care)... That's just watching TV, not a cinema seat, fc* them !

Why pay when you can you can get it free with no repercussions same goes for movies

[@moonshine9964]

Wings, ribs, burgers and beer😂😂😂

[@user-uy2dp1dh4h]

If the fight is worth the money, the people will pay. I havent been impressed with most of these fights. I have payed and will pay if i feel a fight deserves the hype and me paying to see it. I normaly go to Mexico or a casino, or a restaurant or some type of venue or friends house. Most bouts dont carry that must watch tv for me anyway. Unless its truly exceptional. Theres only a few fighters that truly perform win, lose or draw. I rather go watch it live if its one in a generation talent or go watch it at a friends house or some other venue. Dont care to much to look for a streaming service thats pirated when i can go somewhere and watch. Might have to pay a little or bring food and snacks but i dont mind that.

[@joewood306]

Honestly? A Dazn membership + fee on top? No way. Either or I would have gone with but not both. Never ever. So I watched your live comment and just looked for one of the yt videos that turned up a few mins later. Bad luck for the right holders. The Usyk/Dubois fight I happily paid for

[@jamesdheel1568]

Thats what they get for having commercials between rounds, on a PPV fight. After taxes in the US its almost $90. An i dont even get to here trainer instructions between rounds for most of the fight.

[@martintaylor8137]

Money for a fight the could only last 2 rounds

[@bendybruce]

That figure of One hundred and twenty million Is complete nonsense. It assumes the people who streamed the event illegally would ever have paid for the event in the first place. I would suspect that for the vast majority paying $75 for what amounts to a luxury item when you are struggling just pay all your bills was never an option. There is for sure a tipping point when increasing prices does not increase revenue because you simply price yourself out of the market. They are not selling food or power or gasoline, they are selling a discretionary purchase and those are always the first things to go when times get hard.
