Is anybody's mood for MMA soured by this recent price increase?

[GrantB13]

In a time when the topic of fighter pay is as hot as it's ever been, lawsuits showing scummy practices, and watering down of the product, the UFC/ESPN have the balls to not only increase their rates on the subscription by another $10/yr, they are also raising the pricing on the individual shows. The UFC has seen six or seven different price hikes in a three year period.

I'm pretty sure I'm never buying another PPV ever again and I'm actually tempted to throw my ESPN+ subscription in the garbage as well. I've already been burned by ESPN not showing certain sessions of an F1 weekend meanwhile I can just pay F1 the exact same money as ESPN and get everything and more for the races.

Not only has my interest for PPVs never been lower but I almost don't really care much about MMA at this particular moment. It's hard to keep interest in a sport that rewards participation by charging more money. Anybody else feeling generally disinterested right now?

I usually just head to the movie theater and watch them live for $25 a ticket which is cheaper than having to pay $75 for the PPV to watch at home. The theater we watched 269 at had waiters and such and was about 25 minutes from home, so the wife and I had a good time.

I end up spending a bit more to watch at the theater as $25 a pop per ticket and food is more, but it gets us out of the house for a while and I get to watch the event with a theater setup which is much better.

I didn't know they did the movie theater showings still. I'll have to see if one is local playing. I'd love to try it out.

They can make it 10$ or 1100$ and it would have zero impact on me for your premise OP.

[Krokodil]

Are you trying to tell me that you actually pay money to watch human cockfighting?

 

[Travis Alexander]

Makes no difference to me tbh.
Thankfully it’s been many years since I’ve noticed such a nominal price difference on something I enjoy a couple times a month.

I remember they used to have UFC events at the theaters in my city, but that stopped long ago. I honestly didn't know they still did that anywhere at all anymore, haven't seen it advertised anywhere.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

I don’t care too much but it is starting to get pricey.

 

[WhosTheBoss]

Look at the state of the country.
Nothings in stock, everything’s cost is up.
Are you surprised?

let’s go Brandon.

 

[Human Bass]

Use a VPN and pay for brazilian Combate I guess.

 

[BigDanStudd]

Who the fuck is actually buying UFC PPVs at this point? They're a terrible value.
