Media Dana White Doesn't Love the $10 PPV Price Increase

Damn we pay $40 New Zealand which is $27 US and its too much and some people stream it.

Although we pay $60 every time a rugby player boxers a garbage man...
 
Dana says neither he nor the UFC are responsible for to PPV price increase. I know Uncle Dana fibs fairly frequently, but his explanation sounds plausible.

"According to UFC president Dana White, the promotion has no input in the price of its premium events since it gave pay-per-view rights to ESPN as part of its broadcast deal.

“We don’t have any say in that,” White said at the UFC on ESPN 32 post-fight press conference. “We gave the pay-per-views to ESPN, so that’s their decision.

“You know how I feel about that stuff. I don’t love when prices get raised, but it’s not my decision, it’s their’s.”

Ok in that case all is good. Not. Nice try passing the buck. Folks will protest with their wallets. More revenue per sub but less subs. The UFC cut of the deal might push the raise. How is this for a protest mantra, “do they think we have CTE or something?”
 
Fans should run the company, like before. Never give power to numbers guys. They only look at views, don't care about the sport.
 
Fertittas and Dana are fans, too. Numbers guys are there because the sport got popular.
Okay. Cool.
Maybe ESPN will get sick of the UFC and sell it to the right people.
 
El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido
 
Dana White will make a good decoration on a street light.
 
While ESPN may have raised the price it seems silly to think Dana wasn't informed or had zero input.
