Large purses are now humongous. Medium-sized purses are now respectable. And small purses are as small as ever?
Pay-per-view has changed the boxing landscape. The change is good for some and bad for others, but its effect on boxing can?t be overstated. What was once for free can now be had at a cost, a cost that is steep and continues to rise.
The rationale for pay-per-view is sound insofar as fighters are concerned. Large purses are now humongous. Medium-sized purses are now respectable. And small purses are as small as ever. But the fans?which include everyone from the hardcore to the blas??suffer the brunt of an experiment that has since become the new normal, which is no longer new and normal only in a matter of speaking.
Under the circumstances, would you pay to watch boxing live online if it only cost five dollars?
We are considering showing live boxing online that would not otherwise be televised. Some of these fight cards might have a main event featuring two fighters you may have never heard of. Would you be willing to pay five dollars to watch a mid-level boxing card live online on Boxing.com?
