PPV

Charged fight viewing

PPV stands for pay-per-view, a system where viewers pay individually to watch specific broadcasts rather than subscribing to ongoing service.

Boxing matches, wrestling events, and major concerts have traditionally used PPV distribution: The fight is available on PPV for $79.99.

In medicine, PPV also abbreviates positive predictive value, a statistical measure of diagnostic test accuracy.
