News ESPN Raising Price of UFC PPVs and ESPN Plus in 2021

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Surely the UFC will increase the quality of PPVs (as best they can, not gonna blame them for injuries or positive tests derailing fights) to compensate for this, right?

Guys?

 

[VinceArch]

God damn it...

 

[Wreckless]

Didn't it go from $60 to $65 like a year ago or something?

Bunch of greedy bastards. No one is gonna pay $70 on top of a subscription for the watered down garbage cards they been feeding is.

I've always been one of the suckers who bought their shit, but a price increase while they're further watering down cards? Fuck that

 

[Sweater of AV]

The UFC shills must be in heaven to have the opportunity to put more money in Dana's pockets.

As of Jan. 8, 2021, the price of UFC pay-per-view events on ESPN Plus — the exclusive home of the mixed martial arts fights in the U.S. — will increase by $5 apiece, from $64.99 to $69.99. In addition, the price of an annual ESPN Plus subscription for new subscribers will go up 20%, rising from $49.99 to $59.99 per year. According to ESPN, renewals of annual subscriptions for existing subscribers will remain at $49.99 until at least March 2, 2021.

It’s the second time ESPN Plus has raised the price of UFC PPVs: When the service first launched in April 2018, the UFC PPV events cost $59.99. That went up to $64.99 each at the beginning of 2020

Jacking up the price the same month that Conor fights, which is guranteed to do 1M+ buys.

That’s it. I quit mma.

It’s a crazy world we live in...

Many people are struggling and the pandemic is wrecking lives, careers, families etc... and these large corporations are concocting ways to charge customers more and more.

I hope this backfires and they suffer for this. Greedy bastards!!

 

[kimocomplex]

they will keep doing it until they cant

your money is powerful, chose wisely

It was pushing it to split the cost with my brother at $65. I liked the reliability and good quality of the official stream and am fortunate enough to be able to afford it. But this is downright greedy and now they’ll get $0 from us just based on principle. A few hours of entertainment is not worth $70, you can go to some sporting events live for that cost.

 

[Anaconda99]

Its still not enough. Make it 170 or 40 per fight, 1 fight you get to not pay for additional 15 bucks. Replay? 90. Want to skip comercial? 7.99. Also you should have to buy UFC branded hotdogs from the UFC delievery service 1 Hotdog 24.50. You didnt like the event? Another 50.

 

[THE-06]

ESPN paid what, 4 billion for all UFCs for the next 3 years? Someone is getting desperate.

Lol just in time for Conor/Poirier II

Can’t wait to shell out my hard earned $70 for a Nunes/Anderson headlining PPV

I dont know, maybe you fall on your keyboard and unwillingly land on a stream site, who could blame you? Happend to me a cuppa times.

Inflation

Yep, after all this "free" stimulus money settles in, inflation should ramp up even higher than normal. In a few years the PPV's will be $100

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

Paying per view and paying per song, are the biggest scams in human history.
