Media Dana White on combatting piracy

[GSP4tw]

Is his anti-piracy idea to just make the cards not worth stealing? Seems like it with a lot of the ppvs.

They could cut prices in half and probably sell 3x as many PPV’s. Dana doesn’t know about price elasticity but he’s experiencing it. The higher they raise it, the more streaming will go on.

Would they really, though? I would still feel silly paying $45 to watch something in front of my computer. Not to mention at this point I kind of like the stream-chat experience. I think maybe a beefier fight pass kind of thing could work

They've let people get used to this for so long, is an issue. Partly because it actually does work kind of well.

I would pay ~$45 if I were going to watch it with a few people, maybe. Out of principle I would never pay the current prices, especially not with having to subscribe to something first. That thing has no value to me. I won't do it.

I had fight pass but it sucked. To me at least.

It is still likely they would sell more though. It just feels outdated when you consider solo viewers and everything else these days

I think Dana thinks that people hack streams like they do in Hollywood movies where it's some guy somewhere typing really fast and all he has to do is hire someone who types faster to stop them.

Don't forget the part where the hacker says "I'm in."

half of the ppvs arent even worth stealing anymore

Hold on Dana, just gotta grab my trench coat.

I’d like fight pass again and I’d pay $40 to not give my computer aids or have the stream die right in the middle of a fight.

They should have a fight pass that gives you a discount on cards

I actually get the events with my cable package but I still pirate it because the spanish commentary can be annoying and also sometimes I prefer to watch it in my little home office ( only have a PC there)

Dana can combat deez nuts

Dana White so proud he always cheats... on one episode of Looking for a Fight Dana said it was how he got thru high school, he cheats in most episodes. Is it stealing or cheating, I guess if you spend money it is cheating, if it is saving money it is stealing?

The best they can do is takedown notices and Google delisting like every other IP holder. You'll never stop the people who know what they're doing, and where to go, but you can stop the average schlub and that's the majority of the market.

I'm undefeated against Dana White since 2006

As difficult as it may seem to understand, pirates can help bring awareness to the events, maybe one day they will pay for one. Pirates can also be good for a company in some way.

What's the real solution, Sherbros?

Is he talking about the pirates who leave fighters with only 15% of the revenue share? I hope he catches them quick.

Me vs Dana every Saturday.

The solution is to put the orange goof on ignore.

I tried it with a purple goof yet it does not seem to work.
