Best place in NKY to watch Mayweather-Pacquiao fight?

Why would it cost $4k?

 

Because it's a bar. It's going to be on multiple TVs all over the bar, and having a packed house, they're going to make a killing off it. They're going to charge a lot more than if you or I bought it to watch at home.

I mean I know it costs restaurants/bars more to show it, but $4k? That's pretty steep. Depending on the cover, I'd say a lot places would struggle to break even on that.

Now I know the cheapest ticket to watch the fight in person is right about 4k. I know they would charge bars more than the $100, but I don't see them charging 4k. 1k? Possibly, but when your figure that your bar will be packed and the money that you will make on food and drinks, you will come out at least even.

 

Looking at some articles just now, they are saying its a PPV fail. That it will fall way short of expectations.

[SportsGuy41017]

There is even a line on how many PPV purchases there will be. The line is 3.8 million. I'll go with the under.

It does vary some based on size of business (seats, TVs, etc).

 

My son works at a bar in Florida that usually shows a lot these types of things. He said his boss said it would have been around $2250 for them to the fight, and he opted not to do it. They are barely 100 seats. would have had to charge $20 a head to break even, and he didn't want to.

 

Hooter's is $20 a head. I've been told that some of them are doing table prices that is like $100 a table. I think they concider their booths to seat 7. I think you get an order of pickles and a coupon to be used at a later date.

Tilted Kilt is showing it, they are advertising that they are showing the fight, but no mention of a charge. BUT if you call and ask them, they then tell you it's $10.00 cover! I told them I don't agree how they 1) are charging, and 2) that they don't mention a cover on their FB page. To me that is pulling one over on the customers, they see the ad and no mention of a cover, until they get to the door that night.

 

$10 is cheap

$10 is cheap

 

I'll have to think about this. I like watching at home where I can crank up the sound and watch with my big screen just feet in front of me, even for $100 I may consider it, as I don't want to miss it if Floyd gets knocked out.

 

However, $10 would be appealing if I knew people who were going to be there. Anyone else plan to watch in NKY? I'll be interested in Tilted Kilt, we could get a table. Maybe uk#1 will show up and buy the first round?

Was told tonight from a waitress at Dickmans that it will be $30.00 cover but you get $20.00 in food/beverage credit.

I'd guess Brothers in newport will have it on. Not sure about cover.

Thats if you reserve a seat before midnight Friday. Otherwise its $20 at the door with no credit.

I called several places yesterday. Hooters and Dickman's only places that I heard are having it. Someone mentioned above Tilted Kilt is, I didn't call them. Was told no Bdubbs in the Greater Cincinnati Area will be carrying it.

Anyone who's paying the $100 to watch going to feel cheated when Money ends it in the 2nd round?

Always the chance you take buying on PPV or going to see it live.

[Big Slick]

By the way, all sports fans need to go live to a major fight in Vegas. It's an awesome experience!

[NEERFAN]

Not sure it will be great. I've never been caught in awe by Mayweather and Manny isn't the old Manny.
