You're a culture of waste and frivolous spending.For the first time recently I heard members of the UFC or WME team.publicly entertaining the idea of moving past the PPV model into a subscription service which seemed to be similar to the DAZN $20/mo idea.
They have the reach to get enough numbers to make this feasible and their cards are such watered down trash that hopefully they can't afford NOT to ditch the extremely dated PPV model.
Remember UFC is a company STILL running their business model based on what worked in 2005. For fucks sake they still do seasons of a reality television show, TUF.
After the ESPN+ deal times out they should go with a UFC app, flat monthly or annual fee which has everything on fightpass and ESPN+. Make it like Netflix, Prime Video, HULU, etc and target it as just another recurring expense half their customers probably won't even remember that they are being charged for.
We have a culture of waste and frivolous spending, this is the way.
