also, re: ppvs "free" on fight pass "like the wwe network": that probably won't ever happen. people that think it should might wanna take a look at how doing so has affected the wwe's business - it's been an utter disaster. furthermore, they've got existing deals with pay-per-view suppliers that they can't just ignore, ya know. i'd love to not pay for ufc pay-per-views, but it would make no sense for them at all.
the announcement's actually about new content. they've been buying up tape libraries for the past few months now, though the only one that's public knowledge is hooknshoot (because osborne jumped the gun and tweeted about it). should be interesting to see which other promotions will be added. should also be interesting to see if any of them will strike deals to broadcast new shows, like the invicta deal.
