How stupid is the UFC for not letting TV shows, show footage of finishes. Tired of seeing pics

[Biblical]

I don't understand the logic here...Do they think somebody seeing ESPN or fox sports would see that somebody got ktfo, they will be disappointed that they see pictures instead of the footage of finish...so they will go buy a PPV that already happen just to see the finish? Is the UFC really that stupid?

Do they think people won't want to see the fight because they can just wait to see the highlight of the finish tommorow?

Specially know a days, where their is gifs of the finished, torrents, and they show up in Facebook regardless.


Not only do the pictures look cheap, but I think k it doesn't capture the best thing about MMA, the finishes....People seeing McGregor getting choked out or Ronda getting KTFO, would amaze people.

It's like a boxing promoters not allowing ESPN to show a Mike Tyson knockout highlight from last night.

Glad the NFL,NBA,etc...any other real sport, don't do this stupid shit...I can just imagine the winnings plays not being showed, instead we get a shitty pic of wr getting the ball in the end zone.

BTW it's all channels even fox sports doesn't show finishes from PPVs.

The ufc puts out there own videos of finishes instantly on FB, twitter and instagram during ppvs.

Do they?I know I seen them put prelims finishes, not sure about PPVs and specially Main Events.

If they do, then why not let TV shows use the footage?

I'm still surprised that MMA Core hasn't been shut down. Fuck Torrents, an hour after the event I can go on MMA Core, and bam, full fight!

They post update clips, but they don't post finishes for PPVs.

I just went to their Facebook page and they didn't post finishes for the PPVs.

Robbie Lawler vs Condit didn't have finishes.

everyone will see what they need to see,anyway.

They are rules for broadcasting images on television.

More often than not the finish is a guy on the ground getting punched unconscious or already unconscious. If that is all non fans see they will not become fans of a sport that seemingly revolves around near defenseless people getting punched unconscious.

What rules? UFC policy if not letting shows, show UFC finishes?

That makes zero sense.

So if they see it in its full brutal context from round 1 to when somebody gets ktfo and then GNP...these same ppl will become fans.

But if they just the highlight of the finish, they wont?LMFAO.

Also Mike Tyson proved people like blood and KOs that seem like somebody just died...sports channels loved showing highlights

People just need to get used to the GnP, that's all.

My guess is they can get extra money if those programs pay a fee for that type of footage which is smart of them

 

[theincognito]

PPV finishes have never been shown for as long as I can remember in UFC or boxing

If that's the case then it's very stupid.

So far from what I seen nobody has paid the fee.

It ain't worth it, the pictures look so cheap..makes UFC look bush league

In fact, I don't think WWE even shows PPV finishes on Raw

So it's cable companies fault?

Or just some long stupid status quo practice....that UFC decides to follow

 

[BrazilianDude]

I didn't know that. Dumb policy indeed.
