Exclusive | Dana White isn’t closing the door on pay-per-view after $7.7 billion Paramount deal

On the same day that the UFC announced an earth-shattering $7.7 billion deal with Paramount, Dana White told The Post that pay-per-view formatted events could still fit into its plans.

Dana will bend the knee and do what he is told.

If they ever get another Conor type star they will definitely do ppv again. They would be stupid not too. The money is too good on ppvs if the star is right.

PPVs are for niche sports that want to extract as much as they can out of a small fanbase.

If MMA wants "global fucking domination" and getting "bigger than soccer", PPVs need to die.

I am hopeful that Paramount+ is the start of a new great era.

Fuck off man. Dana needs to go

 

[Captain Tenneal]

No no this is bs, I thought all I had to pay was a flat rate!

Well said.

Do you want to be a real sport or not.

MMA will always be bush league compared to soccer.

Probably a breach of contract. They can't. But getting 1.1 billion a year is already winning

That sneaky dog

Even with the crazy prices ESPN could have done much better but they couldnt get the streams to work. Thats the only thing Paramount needs to worry about. PPVs are still a thing, just not in the 'pay 59.99 for this single event' type of way (I assume) ..... If the streams suck, dont work, etc - this is going to bite Paramount in the ass.

Reebok deal 3.0

 

[DaleBoca]

It kinda made sense when Dana said “We’re gonna have four “Big Events” a year.” This meant, we will give you a couple half assed championship cards that either are women title events or champions people do not care about.

The status quo is going to stay in place or as the Bald Goof says “It will be business as usual.”

What a joke.

 

[Egészségére!]

So does this new deal mean it’s more or less likely sports bars will be showing these events?

I watch the ESPN stuff there now but no ppv’s

Dana just buried his entire roster

Nothin new there

LOL at the people who thought they were gonna end the PPVs. They just need you to sign up for paramount+ before they do the rug pull.
