Ads on Main Card confirmed - No surprise

[Oscar Madison]

do we know if there’s a premium ad free option?

I guess I'll find out how much viewing misery this will cause during the UFC 324 Live Event.

 

[FrankNStein]

There's 2 options and I have the supposedly ad free premium option for a few bucks more per month. I don't know if that will remove the ads during the main card. We'll see I guess.

Edit: After a quick google search it says: Yes, the Paramount+ Premium plan will feature ads during live UFC events, despite being marketed as "ad-free" for on-demand content.

The Paramount+ website says the premium plan still contains ads during live events, unfortunately.

if you're streaming the feed from paramount exclusive you'll still see the ads

But they will not be getting my money. I like the BT sports streams from England and there are commercials on it but those Britts have some weird ass sport book and appliance commercials so they are entertaining.

The money is going directly to the fighters, I swear

Premium still has ads on live sports. I guess no ads on replays though.

 

[Haloxiv]

Ehh, ads during live sports are fine, especially fighting. They only get one minute between rounds. Time to go grab a beer and piss out the last one. And who cares between the fights? I don't pay attention to between fights anyway, that's why you have a cell phone at hand.

I understand it wasn’t traditional commercial breaks but UFC always ran numerous ads during their PPVs. It’s one of the greediest things they’ve done.

 

[Pharenheit]

That kind of sucks. Commercial free pay per view main card was one of its greatest features. Was always a good refresher to hear the commentators discuss each fighter and what they’re all about during the walkouts. Just another sign that ufc is all in for casual fandom and casual accessibility to its product

 

[El Fernas]

This isnt exactly new here, the cage is pretty much covered with sponsors, what once was just a black line on it, this days you can pay to have your name on it, sponsored mentions from the broadcast team during PPV´s, i mean...fight nights had commercial breaks, they are all basically fight nights now. The UFC has been heavily advertised already.

I don’t give af - I can talk to someone beside me, peruse my phone, eat/drink something, use the restroom etc…

Anything is better than having to pay $85 for the event or dealing with an inconsistent shitty quality stream.

Paramount+ already has ads for their shows and sporting events - this is par for the course.

I just hope its not like the NFL is where its like every god damn opportunity is a break. Like, at least leave us in it SOME of the time. Please still talk about fight metrics, backstories and fill in the card the right way. I dont want to feel like im being blitzed from fight to fight so they can cram as many BK commercials in as possible.

Everytime I drive by the Dynamic Fastener building on Dean Martin, I remember that that man lived the dream of every MMA fan: Make a whole fuckload of money and have enough extra income to sponsor fighters you love.

$12.99 a month for this and Landman. Fucking kidding me.

Shit, Landman is almost unwatchable now. Took a nosedive after season 1

When my wife realized it was the same writer as Yellowstone shes like FUCK NO so I cant even watch it, sounds like were not missing much

 

[snugglecakes]

oh no.. commercials during when ppl go to piss & or grab another drink! Oh noooooooooo what ever shall we dooooo. It's all overrrrr!!

 

[nostradumbass]

Can't say I care even a little bit. Half this forum bitch about how horrible commentary is after every card, and now the complaint is that the commentary team aren't filling space between fights with empty rambling?

Seems like an upgrade from my streams that were either Russian or UK ads for shit they don't even sell here.

Tulsa King was pretty entertaining. Never actually watched landman. Disclaimer is that I haven’t watched any show other than Tulsa King and it's always sunny in like 15 years, so I'm probably not a good judge of whether a show is good or not.
