Some of the greatest fights in history have happened on HBO’s Pay-Per-View service, but if they keep hiking the price up in pursuit of even more millions of dollars in revenue, people may stop watching boxing altogether. The November 13th fight between Pacquiao and Marquez generated nearly a million and a half buy-ins. You’d think with that many people paying to watch the fight, HBO could lower their prices to a reasonable rate.
