525k subs @ $5 month == $2,625,000
If you multiply that by 12, you get 31.5 million/year
That assumes 100% of these folks keep their subs (I've already cancelled my trial because the experience was horrible)
ESPN is paying 300 million/year for this rights deal.
They are losing their pants, its a long play. I can't figure how the numbers work long term but it seems they are trying to buy their way into a future in the age of cord cutting.
My experience was horrible too. It's disappointing to say that Fightpass gave me less trouble than ESPN plus did. They weren't ready to launch. There were plenty of people on Sherdog looking for streams because they couldn't get the app to work.
