How Much Will Your Local Bar Pay To Show The Mayweather-Pacquiao Fight?


1233334928157072486.jpg


A lot of people will want to watch Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao box each other this Saturday, but not a lot of people will want to plunk down a record-setting chunk of pay-per-view money to do so. These people will probably go to a local sports bar to watch the fight, and if they are good bar patrons, they will buy more than a few drinks, because showing a fight like this doesn’t come cheap for bar owners.

A sports bar can’t just pay the $89.95 pay-per-view fee, open the doors to a few hundred eager boxing fans, and then reap profits. That’s because bars have to purchase a special license from a company called J&J Productions, which handles selling the rights to the fight to commercial venues. And what do those licenses run? We put in a call to J&J and pretended to be a bar owner looking to buy the fight, and this is the quote we got:
“Prices are determined according to the fire code’s limit for the business. if it holds 200 people, this event will be $6,500. for 500 people it will be $15,500. We have a program that gives us a price when we put the fire code limit into it.”
​
That’s a lot of money, man. If a 200-capacity bar buys this fight, it would need to pack the house and then have each patron spend at least $32 in order to break even (and that’s setting aside the bar’s usual expenses).

Of course, bars could try to get around this and just pay the standard pay-per-view price, but J&J Productions takes this shit very seriously, and will sue the crap out of anyone who tries to pull a fast one on them. They even hire armies of undercover spies to try and bust bars that don’t pay the fee (via The Guardian):
People contracted by Audit Masters get a list of bars legally showing a PPV. During the four-hour telecast, PPV cops travel around to locations that are showing the fight but not on their list.

“We do not tell you where to go,” Audit Masters says on its website. “That is up to you, we leave that up to your local expertise as to where you feel the most productive areas for piracy would be. We do ask that you average at least five stops per hour during the hours of the telecast.”
[...]

PPV cops are paid by the number of illegal locations they are able to find. The ad posted by Edlund offers $250 per location found.
​
So if you’re going to watch the fight at a bar on Saturday, be a good customer. Don’t complain if you have to pay a cover, and definitely don’t enlist as a pay-per-view snitch.
 
One of my homeboys owns a bar in south jersey and rents the apartment next door to it to one of his friends. These fools done configured it where his boy ordered the fight from his crib, and they are running wire to the bar his hdmi hub, and showing that shit on all his TVs. Dude is charging 30 a head to see that jawn, and where his bar is, nobody is gonna fuck with him either. Gonna clean up :dance:
 
peace

My man ran into some shit with DK Promotions when he tried to have a fight party @ his huge barber shop/salon playing a fight a few back.

Always wondered how but obviously someone in there was on some rat shit too.
 
Where do I sign up? Lol

Sent from Clayton County Department of Corrections using Pay Phone
 
Ohhhhhhh. That explains the "REGULARS ONLY!" signs I see in a few bars. I thought bar owners trying to avoid fights and beefs, they're just looking out for PPV snitches. :cool:
 
So all the bars gotta do is have a "no exit" policy. Once you buy the cover you can't leave and return back in.


:dunno:


EDIT: I guess it wouldn't matter.....they're leaving to bar hop anyway.

If you using your Satelite box from the house and take it out after how can they prove you had the fight?

What if 3 or 4 bitches I mean snitches snitch on the same spots do everybody get paid? If so then hell I'll sign up under me, momma, son, wife, neighbor and turn in the same folks. :lol::lol:
 
The way to get around this... If it's a small to medium sized bar, open a cable TV package under a person's name instead of the business. You get residential privileges because the account looks like it belongs to John Doe instead of Drinks Inc.
 
Damn.
Good thing i'm not leaving the house.
I would hate to pay to get into a joint and it gets shut down on some bullshit.

Peace

it wouldn't get shutdown the fines/lawsuits come later..i always thought this rule was bullshit as far as them over price payperview rates for clubs/lounges.. my thought process was like this payperview rule is like if hollywood told u if u go buy a dvd u can only have a limited amount of people borrow that movie to watch it and if u pass the limit they start charging u per person u let see it..if these bars paid for the payperview how u gonna tell them they can have a limit on how many people view it and charge them a crazy ass rate for it..juss another great example of greed
 
I worked the door at a bar that got caught showin a ppv. It was b4 I started but the manager said it cost him about 20k when it wz all said and done. If they see it from a window or hear the fight as pple go in and out its a done deal. If the establishment is not on the list they will fig out the details later then nail u hard.

I culd tell he was shook from the experience.

They also do this for cover bands. I dnt kno all the details but they have pple lookin for groups doin live music of old songs. If the bar gets caught without proper paperwork (or wutever) Its a huge fine. I have personally met those snitches.

“People will really start getting interested close to the fight.”

So says Joe Gagliardi, of G@G Closed Circuit events, which streams live fights to businesses like bars, restaurants and casinos. It’s about to become an active time for the man, for the Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao superbout is just days away.

Yet pirates, those who illegally swipe live streams, are about to become active, too.

“We will get more pirates,” Gagliardi claims of contemporary culture. Yet he explains that even when these pirates are, caught, it’s of little benefit to companies like G@G. Lawyers and the heavy bureaucracy of the legal system make the fight for fairness heavy lifting.

Gagliardi, however, has a job to do. “My responsibility is to protect the people who buy the event,” he says. “I’m just trying to protect my customers.” And it appears that others will help Gagliardi do that job this weekend.

According to The Guardian, “PPV cops – who are not real police, though one company says many former law-enforcement officers are in their ranks – will attempt to find bars showing the fight without having paid licensing fees.”

Perhaps these individuals can be referred to as hired guns. “If they help promoters nail establishments that have not paid,” The Guardian writes, “the companies (who help track down pirates) say they can make hundreds or even thousands of dollars.”

Indeed, Gagliardi is aware of the fact that he and others in his field are often viewed as the bad guys, as greedy capitalists who are keeping people from watching fights. As if that somehow makes it okay for people to take won’t doesn’t belong to them free of charge or legal obligation.

“We’re not the ones who stole the signal,” he says frankly.

Indeed, bars looking to show the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight must legally purchase the rights through G@G. What’s more, G@G is not charging a flat fee, but is charging per the capacity of each individual venue. While the temptation to break the rules may be there, G@G has numerous measures in place to battle piracy.

The company also has a bilingual hot line in place for people to call to report piracy. It has an email address in place, as well – in case people aren’t comfortable using the phone. Needless to say, those doing the reporting will be allowed to keep their anonymity.

“Our lawful customers pay substantial sums to properly license and promote our company’s events at their establishments,” G@G states on its web page. “We are vigorous in our efforts to identify commercial locations that injure our customers and we strongly encourage you to protect your valuable investment and contact us promptly if you know or suspect a neighboring business plans to exhibit an event unlawfully.”

Gagliardi makes it clear that those who pirate the stream are not Robin Hoods stealing from the rich solely to provide a service for the not so fortunate.

“I don’t really make a lot of money,” off of the events which enrich the sport’s biggest names, Gagliardi argues.

The Guardian states that some businesses go out of their way to hide the fact that they’re pirating streams. “Sometimes bar owners make it easy by advertising the fight on social media or on fliers,” the publication claims. “But others go into deep cover to show big fights. That’s where the PPV cops come in.”

There are actually companies out there which hire out PPV police to travel about searching for bars which are suspected of pirating an event. If a bar owner or owners is nabbed, big trouble can follow.

“Unauthorized commercial exhibition of the events we license,” G@G’s web site claims, “will subject violators to civil liability for actual and statutory damages in excess of $100,000.00, injunctive relief, legal costs and attorneys’ fees, as well as other severe criminal and civil penalties as provided for by federal copyright and state and federal telecommunications laws.”

While some may get away with pirating this Saturday’s Mayweather-Pacquiao match, those considering stealing the live stream might want to ask themselves if it will really be worth it when all is said and done. The law, after all, is quite clear on such matters. What’s more, breaking the law can end up costing the offender a pretty penny.

The truth is that ordering the fight legally for a bar or establishment is rather easy. Simply call G@G at 1-888-258-7115 or visit their web site at or http://ggboxing.com/. Modern technology makes the whole process run as efficiently and as quickly as possible.

Plus, it’s simply the right way to go about things. Watching a robbery take place in the ring is bad enough. Stealing from an honest operation is flatly unethical.
