More like pay per screw amirite
Well atleast it seems they are scraping PPV after their 239 experiment.
241 isn't PPV this weekend.
@SpongebobsPineapple is this weekends card on PPV with BT sport?
nah, thats not true, every single CL league game is on bt you just have to push red buttons or go to btsport extra
One thing BT have got 100% right is the champions league and europa league coverage. its 10x better than it ever was on sky
Of course, as a liverpool fan, everything champions league related is pretty fucking rosy to me
Yeah, because Dana has nothing to do with the “greedy businessmen” and he is just a victim in all this and if it was up to him prices would be lower, right? That’s was you are trying to say?
The guy who had snow in his Las Vegas driveway while his fighters are broke and retire with brain damage, no pension and no money will slash prices if given the opportunity rather than gouge consumers... that’s your hypothesis?
How did that work with the streaming PPVs on ESPN+ again? Funny because as I recall “cutting out the greedy middle men” resulted in the same ridiculous price($69.99) PLUS a monthly fee.
I agree that a change should be made, but if you are counting on Dana to be your savior you may have disappointment in your future.

242 is. Seems they're picking and choosing the PPVs to charge people more for, I'd imagine any Conor, Jones or Khabib PPV you'd be paying extra for.
Wouldn't surprise me.My mate reckons that as well as no figures being mentioned for UFC 239 PPV in the UK, he read that around 20,000 people cancelled their monthly subscription to the channel at that time, too. Is that true?
Wouldn't surprise me.
The days of paying are over, you can even get films on cinema in good quality, sky box office, all sports you name it. More and more people will do it, I have converted loads of people at my work who now have the downloads and covenant to get every channel in existence for next to nothing.
I take great satisfaction everytime I watch stuff this way knowing that by doing it I am taking money out of some scum bag millionaires pocket.
Eventually all these greedy corporations will be on their knees, once upon a time Block Buster reigned supreme and now look, in the mud.
I meet so many people who tell me how much they pay for subscriptions as much as £100 a month for the Sky full package and I instantly educate them, these big businesses need to learn the hard way. Same with cinemas charging £10 per ticket, I give them about ten more years before they start falling and eventually they will be gone because people will be sat at home watching it for free in HD.
IPTV Muthafucka's
I wish the worst for BT at this point. I only have the channel for the UFC PPVs and now I'm locked into a contract while they're putting PPVs behind another paywall. That's an absolute scumbag move.
Shame on me for ever trying to do things through legitimate channels. Never again.
Cable w/ ESPN $150. ESPN+ $5. PPV $59.99... America, land of the free....
No, the next one is Khabib and Poirier
It can be confusing at first but in reality it's very simple, pay an IPTV provider for a subscription, my 12 month sub cost £61, I have an android TV so the only other thing I need is a £2.99 app, it gets me 1000's of channels from around the world, they've even started adding some 4K channels, it included PPV and on demand movies, plus some downright filth that I would never watch....You're absolutely right and look at all the companies in the UK who have survived long term, it's no coincidence that these companies are good companies who are not only good with their customers but they don't over charge and are always giving back to their customers too, Amazon, O2 are a couple and Plusnet also are fantastic at this but it's BT that's going to ruin them with doing things like this, I don't think Plusnet have a choice but it's going to reflect on them.
All the big companies who get greedy fall, HMV almost did for this reason (which would have been a shame) and they had to be saved twice, AOL in the UK were one of the leading at one point until they were bought out by Carphone Warehouse and messed up, there's been so many and I can see things like iPhone struggling and being the next, sometimes it takes a while for people to catch on and find alternatives and feel better but eventually they do.
You're absolutely right and these companies are either naive or arrogant to think that they won't fall because they really will, they all do once they start to become greedy and upsetting their customers.
Yeah, I hear about this but I don't know a lot about it to be honest.
No, the next one is Khabib and Poirier
I see, I don't really follow football so I can't comment really but I guess that's fair enough
I suppose it depends what you like too as a friend of mine is a big football fan and I've asked him a few times which does he prefer out of Sky Sports and BT Sport for football and it's Sky Sport easily for him.
He's a Liverpool fan too but he has said he likes Sky Sports better but I know it's different for each of us so I hear you completely
That's not what I mean, basically when they have these TV companies/PPV etc... there's a middle man that's taking profit from airing his product, think Vince McMahon with his Network, he's now dealing direct with the consumer meaning no middle men to pay meaning more profit to him directly while charging the flat and affordable fee to all fans so they're not eliminating any of their audience, that's what I mean.
I know what you mean though, I just do feel that it's just a matter of time that things will have to change somehow because this PPV thing can't really survive in the UK and in general also, I know I keep referring to Vince McMahon with his network but he really does have it spot on, the WWE fans have got it made in that sense and good on them
makes me laugh. This weekends ppv is stacked and its free but 242 is nowhere near it but on ppv.
I have watched every single major PPV for the last ten years for free and don't even have a TV licence, you are mugging yourself off mate.
That makes no sense at all. I'm not surprised, though. Lots of people online don't understand how capitalism works and frequently confuse it with socialism. There's no share to pay. That's socialism. It's irrelevant whether Euros get UFC PPVs for free or pay, say, $1,000 for them.Look at these greedy Euros trying to GAME the system... pay your share like the rest of us!
A license that allow quality programming. You know, public TV.the fact that you have to pay for a "tv license" is the funniest shit
