Paramount + -- FINE PRINT thread

Will fighters still be kicked out of the arena after their fights are over?
 
It is my understanding that :

numbered events will be on CBS and Paramount Plus

Fight nights will be Paramount Plus only (in US)

Not sure about the YouTube thing .


Also I am assuming CBS will air the main card, curious if it will air the prelims and will it be CBS CBS for this or some secondary CBS channel? Or main event on CBS proper but prelimsnon some CBS sports or secondary type CBS channel?
i seriously doubt they will air the prelims on CBS. UFC isnt gonna get that much TV time, and besides it would be stupid of them to give it all away when they aint got to. Its an icentive for fight fans to sign up if they want to see prelims, and its incentive for UFC to help stack the card by having prelim fights people will "pay" to see
 
12.99 a month going to 16.99
Still worth it. Screw other streaming services. I can use websites for other shows and sports. But having a dedicated platform showing in 4k for a reasonable price is awesome. Most of the time I watch UFC now is on shitty sites with mid streams and never in full 1080p
 
Imo within a yrat either P+ ups their package to 25 a month . Or they create a UFC special package to watch UFC at 25 a month keeping non ufc at current. I cant see them keeping it as it past a year too much money on table.

I will happily pay either way as regardless its much cheaper

That is the entire premise of the thread, to seek out the aspects of this new deal which have yet to be answered and discuss them or share answers to such questions when that knowledge becomes available.
Beatdowns proves himself time and time again to be on the lower end of the bell curve, you've gotta just treat him like a homeless guy in conversations.
 

Interesting and somewhat vague statement.

I would assume this means that out of the 13 numbered events, 4 will be "big events"

White House being one of them, I wonder what else qualifies as a "big event" ?

International fight week?

Will they do a stadium show?
I know that has long been talked about, such as a Cowboys Stadium large capacity event. It would be interesting to see if they could top the PrideFC attendance record.

Could they do Aspinall or Conor at Wembley?
 
Where did they get all this money?

Didn’t they also pay 1.5b for South Park? Where did they get all this money? <{Joewithit}>

Volume.

Subscriber fees + advertising revenue

Search shows they make upwards of 7 billion in annual revenue

I heard on a Twitter news clip from the TKO COO that Paramount has 70m subscribers

63% of which pay for ad free 37% do not

Which equates to

$5.3 billion from ad free subs
$1.6billion from "essential" package subs
+ $___ billion in ad revenue

_____________________

Based on my quick math, at $1.1billion/yr cost for UFC and
avg of $100/person/yr

They need roughly 11million new subscribers to make this a profitable deal (based only on subscriber revenue)

At 70m current subs this would be about a 15% increase in subs


UFC has approximately 700mil fans in their social media accounts, (presumably with a good deal of overlap)

For the sake of convenience let's pretend that is 500m fans, then if 2% of them subscribe to Paramount Plus, this deal is profitable
(based on subscriber fees alone, they will also presumably make ad revenue)
