Media Dana White on combatting piracy

Thought Dana co.baribg prices was him hiking ppv coats up every year .
 
They should make a fight pass plan for like 30-40 dollars a month which includes all events, no more ppvs.

I have viaplay premium in Sweden, costs me like 10 dollar because it is included in my tv providers service. I get pretty much every event, ppv and fn free, live.
 
UFC has really shot themselves in the foot in this country (Australia). At the start of the year, they really hiked up their prices for hotels to put on PPV's. This has simply resulted on a LOT LESS hotels buying subscriptions. Last year, it was easy to find a hotel to watch UFC. The number of venues now are VERY limited....and less exposure is bad news for the product.

When you count the number of ppv's they put on now, it is simply too much for s lot of pubs to put on.

What do people expect him to say? Not much we can do about it, it will be around forever. Do investors want to hear that?

lol investors likely are the single biggest group on the planet that want to hear the truth about the company they invest in, yes

About this, privately, yes, public statements are a different matter.
 
Haha what a mumbling stuttering dick head.

Yeah you prosecuted like 3 people to try and make a point, and... weirdly, 0 since? lmao. Because the FBI, or government or police don't have the fkn resources and time to spend going after such a low level 'crime', when it's a constant needle in the fkn haystack. You ain't prosecuting people sat at home streaming the fight for themselves. Is that not technically similar to going round a friend's house to watch it? Should we prosecute those people too?

Maybe don't charge $80 for a fkn PPV and less people would watch 'illegally'.

I'll buy a card it I deem it worthy of the price. I as the consumer have to make that computation, look the card up and down, the star power, the consequence of fights, how stacked is the whole event etc. I have to say it rarely lives up to the price on paper, in my estimation. So I buy a card typically once a year.

In my valuation, a whole year of UFC PPV cards should reasonably cost about what they charge for 2 events, say like 170, maybe even 3 events, then the 115 I pay for espn +. That's about 300-400 bucks a year, which I think is a reasonable ask for the average fan. Put it this way, I pay a lot less to watch unlimited baseball, basketball and football combined. But the UFC doesn't give me that option. So I basically contribute what I think it's worth, which I think is fair and honorable considering I don't have to pay a dime to watch any of it. If they would just go to a subscription model like everyone else is saying, seems they would do much better in the longrun. But I've long pointed out that Dana runs the company like a perpetual going out of business sale with no discounts, much like the boxing promoters he derides. Apparently they're making a lot of money but when you look at other sports it's clear they could be making a lot more.

Whatever though. I'm happy to have the options afforded to me as a modern day consumer. Taking advantage while I can because Dana's going to shut the whole thing down any day now, just like the music industry did with file sharing.

They never effectively stopped file sharing and bit torrent is still a thing and widely used.
