Fans react to Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin and Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker PPV Prices
Over the years, boxing fans have had to purchase seemingly expensive PPV tickets to watch their fighter compete inside the boxing ring. However, the event in Saudi Arabia has brought a wave of change, particularly regarding PPV prices. Here’s what the fans had to say:
One fan claimed that the PPV price was perfect for the event:
Perfect price for the $20 being worth it for a quality stream without any unforeseen delays or lags. Solid value

Another fan claimed that it was quite reasonable and that he will definitely purchase the PPV:
£20 is a very reasonable price for this sort of card 💯 will be buying it

Some fan claimed that it was a perk of the event happening in Saudi:
Another perk for fights being in Saudi! They don't need an extra £5-10 from PPV

Meanwhile, one fan expressed his disappointment about the event not being broadcasted on SkySports:
Not available on sky box office yet. Hmmm.
— Hamelander (@honest_ry) December 8, 2023
Some fan made a comparison between previous PPV prices and sighed in relief:
That's actually good to see for once. Especially for the US boxing PPV, those folks just eat ripped off to no end with $80+ prices.

The reduction in the price meant that a fan was able to purchase a PPV for the first time in his life:
I am buying one for the first time in my life 🤣🤣🤣

SAUDI SAVES BOXING

However, one fan revealed his conservation about the pricing as he revealed that you would still need to buy DAZN subscription:
That doesn't work because you also have to pay for the Dazn subscription.

Meanwhile, one fan claimed was pleased to learn about the price reduction:
Fairplay 😁 I like it
— IBRAHEEM (@IHATEIBY) December 8, 2023
Another fan spoke about how DAZN shouldn’t be charging PPV prices on top of their subscription fees:
DAZN is a paid service, they shouldn't be charging ppv on top of their subscription fees
