Also worth noting that these bar buys and movie theater buys don't get counted at all as far as the ppv number goes. That number is strictly cable/sat/OTT consumer purchases.Originally Posted by El Gallo
We have a bar and you pay one price to show indoors. They base it on your max occupancy. It's also a bit weird because you can actually negotiate down the price with your rep. At our place it's usually between 5k and 15k depending on the fight.
A small local bar quoted $2500 to show the fight. Even if they only have 100 show up to watch it, I don't know how they don't go for it especially for that fight. Charge each person $10 to watch it to recoup some, and the rest will be in drinks/food.Also worth noting that these bar buys and movie theater buys don't get counted at all as far as the ppv number goes.

I'm reading that ppv buys for the fight likely exceeded expectations. 700m plus is the rumour. Exact numbers should be known later this week.
you know, this is honestly one of my favorite little tidbits of all.
conor has fought people physically stronger than floyd on many, many occasions.
what hes talking about here isnt strength, its what a lifetime of pitch perfect striking technique training earns you.

Mayweather senior is awesome. I also think he's right, Conor needs to stay the fuck away from boxing. He will get hurt by the big hitting young fighters.
Conor has no interest in fighting young big hitting fighters.
Agree 100%. When all you need to focus on is punching, you can absolutely perfect it. Floyd has. I tell people all the time "there's power in timing and accuracy" and that's exactly what Floyd does.

If any athletic commission were to sanction Conor against say, the Canelo/GGG winner, they should be arrested.
He could definitely still get in there with Paulie, though.
But if Malignaggi's legs still work somewhat like the used to, Paulie would still end up out boxing him.
Conor would tire out just from trying to trap him.
Was Floyd Sr. a boxer? He has that familiar punch drunk style of speaking and air of absentmindedness that so many old boxers seem to have.
Yeah, he and Roger Mayweather both.Was Floyd Sr. a boxer? He has that familiar punch drunk style of speaking and air of absentmindedness that so many old boxers seem to have.

A local bar shows all the PPVs. I knew it cost a bar a ton to buy these so a couple years ago I asked the owner how it was worth it since there was maybe 25 people in his bar and no entry fee. He said that the Satellite provider told him as long as he does no advertising for the fight he can pay regular price
I'd bet his "Satellite provider" wasn't exactly a rep from Dish or DirecTV. The reason he couldn't advertise it is because if he did, he'd be fucked and the UFC and Joe Hand Promotions or whomever would sue his ass for the full fee and plenty of damages.

There's no legal leeway on those kinda things. If its a commercial establishment, commercial rules apply.
Back when UFC started getting popular they actually sent people around to check bars since plenty of them subscribed to cable/satellite with personal accounts.I'd bet his "Satellite provider" wasn't exactly a rep from Dish or DirecTV.

ok, let's let this thread die now.
Not quite yet, the final numbers are still interesting. White claims over 6.5m buys and 80m in live gate. Breaking both the records May vs PAC set.

Conor's corner literally did even know how to lace up his fucking gloves right.
