Should be $24.99 and not a penny more.
how does the price relate to whether it's about the fighters or the ufc??They'll never lower the price because this isn't about the fighters it's about the ufc. Fertitta even said thatt

Because even though they put out shitty cards they value the ufc higher than any fighter or stacked card. So the talent on the card isn't going to affect the price.
Your question is making me think you didn't read the op?
The UFC recently bumped its PPV price $5 to $54.99 SD and $64.99 HD. With the current trend of low PPV buys, do you think the UFC should actually be lowering its PPV price instead of raising it?
There are multiple upcoming cards that are expected to have low PPV buys, especially with the main event change of UFC 222. There are too many mediocre cards every month that is causing a lack of interest in fans to fork out $55 to watch. IMO, if I'm going to pay $55 for a card, it better be stacked.
With the downward trend in PPV buys, it actually makes sense for the UFC to drop the price for certain cards. I think the UFC should go about a dynamic procing model for its PPV cards. Sure, you can charge $65 for a card that Conor or GSP are headlining, but not a card headlined by Cyborg vs Kunitskaya.
If the UFC lowered its PPV price for certain cards, it could attract a larger buy number, which leads to larger viewership #s. This would then lead to the UFC having more bargaining power with broadcasting companies for its TV deal, as well as its sponsors and advertisers. I think the UFC is hurting itself by raising the price at a time when less people are willing to buy cards that aren't stacked. Thoughts?
I wasn't aware until recently that UFC is basically free in Brazil and more or less $20 everywhere outside North America. That sounds crazy, but I guess demand yonder is so low that a higher price point doesnt fly. I mean, if you look at a place like Australia, I can't imagine they are so strapped for cash they couldn't award the same prices North America endures. In the end, I guess it's just a difference of geography and Canada being perpetually under the wing of their much larger neighbours influence. All in all, I doubt the price raise will be offset by a significant portion boycotting. So, if UFC loses 10k buyers due to the $5 price, it won't matter.
Meh. They should focus on providing more *stacked ppv cards of course, but the quality has little to do with the price offered since Combat sports peak is monopolized by UFC. There is no real other option to the casual fan. Is that market branding? Or is it just that UFC really does have the best if the best in it,?
NBA or NCAA? Both can be enjoyable, but it's the pros that get millions- billions in sponsors...
