I was just curious what you pay across the pond. I still haven't seen a monthly breakdown for everything like I gave. I'm converting it online but my own would be like 55 pounds for basic internet, 40 pounds for a basic TV package including ESPN and ESPN 2 but no premium channels like HBO or even ESPN+ which we have to subscribe to now in order to buy the PPVs. Fight pass is another 7-8 pounds if we want to be able to watch all the prelims. Then finally about 48 pounds for every PPV ordered.
And like I said, i wasn't criticizing your view about the price increase or looking to argue but why not go to bed at a reasonable hour and set your alarm to wake up for the PPV then sleep a couple more hours after? A lot of us older fans used to do that for Pride events back in the day.
I know you're not criticising people's views (I can tell it's out of pure interest you're kindly asking) but I think these comparisons are different simply because the cost of living is different in each country so where as £50 (for example) might seem cheap to you to us it might be expensive due to how money is distributed, the cost of living etc... being worked out and it's all different.
That's why I feel these comparisons don't really work cause I know when friends from the US have come over here, they've ended up spending up really quickly simply because they expected their money to last longer and when people from here have gone to the US, they've ended up coming back with loads of money simply because they took more than they needed thinking they'd need all that to enjoy and survive with while out there, if that makes sense haha
It is completely different really as the costs of living are completely different too, it's kinda hard to compare
