Hmmm?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Please explain to me why a boxing match costs 45 dollars to watch

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Or try $22,000 a ticket for rinside seats to Mayweather V DLH. I think thats the figure I heard!Create Reality said:Hmmm?
Ludicrous!

Just imagining wanting to pay that much for a ticket makes me want to blow my wad.

Because people pay for it!!! Also, the Dollar is plummeting in value - so $45 is minuscule in today's dollar value vs. past's value!!!

Because you will pay for it. But if you don't, one of your friends will. And if they don't, a local bar will. However you slice it, someone's paying for it.Create Reality said:Hmmm?
Supply and demand.

I don't want to get into big discussion here, but boxing fights cost so much money because the promoters don't give a fuk about the future of the sport or the physical/financial health of the fighters. They wants to make as much money as possible TODAY, rather than building foundations on free TV ala Spike.
This is why MMA is gaining in popularity, despite being less entertaining (most ppl watch MMA for the stand-up anyway, who wants to watch two BJJ experts grapple for 15 minutes?). It is organized and managed much better, with accountable and likable representatives. The charisma and humble demeanor of Dana White vs the corrupt murderer Don King.

Because the people selling them are not the promoters. These are brokers, scalpers, etc. who will throw the highest value and then negotiate it down to a "cheap" $1000/ticket, or whatever they can get for it.
I have gotten into several concerts at a ticket price way below face value because the scalpers wanted to get an outrageous price of having bought an expensive ticket that didn't sell at the asking price and they had to eat it.
I see these guys trying to "dump" these tickets that were bought and taken out of the market with the hope of reselling them.
So, in summary, they can ask for $100,000 for it, yet it doesn't mean somebody will pay for it.
$45 to watch, that is actually a bargain for you. The suggested retail price is $55 for this one fight. PPV's have always been around that range, specially in the last few years.

Agree with you on the first part but no way is boxing more entertaining that MMA. People get KTFO all the time in MMA and it's a lot more fun seeing someone get kicked in the head or choked out.6-heads lewis said:I don't want to get into big discussion here, but boxing fights cost so much money because the promoters don't give a fuk about the future of the sport or the physical/financial health of the fighters.

Does anyone know how much they are getting for this fight?
