They have to pay thousands of dollars to show the fight. A bar might have to pay $5,000 or $10,000 to show the fight. Could be even more for a bigger bar. Maybe $15,000 or more.


judging by downtown NOLA, whoever showed it made their money back and then some

the sidewalk outside of Happy's on Poydras where i was was 3 deep with people watching it for free because one of the TVs faced an outdoor courtyard. Mannings and Masquerade had lines to get in and were sold out.

A friend of mine runs an establishment downtown and they bought the fight for $14k and charged $50/head for 1,000 people. Showed it in the bar/restaurant and courtyard.
