You never know. For people with actual brains there is a formula of viewership vs cost, and having a lower monthly subscription with ads and more viewers can actually increase profits.

I hope we end up getting leaks from CBS as to the Paramount+ viewership numbers for numbered UFC events.

How'd that go for you?

It went horribly. I have written a very strongly worded letter discussing my experience and concerns. In fact I think they read my prior message before the event and decided to add insult to injury by adding Blink-182 to the broadcast. These are very unscrupulous people we are dealing with.

That’s contingent on them getting more viewers though. The production value of their first card was largely panned. I don’t think they did anything that will make on the fence fans decide to subscribe.

They are also getting into a sport where most viewers have already figured out how to easily pirate it.

The problem is its hard to gage how much money youre going to make in TV/Streaming/Entertainment these days with the landscape. UFC doesnt give a fuck about its viewers, thats pretty clear with the last two 'deals' they have signed. I dont think people understand UFC gets paid no matter what. its Paramounts Job to 'Make Money' off platforming the UFC. IMO that gives regular ass people motivation to illegally watch it rather than pay (because prices suck, the streaming quality sucks, etc) .... and with people are just hip to the hustle these days. Too many HD streams out there that are a click or two away to worry about navigating their shitty platforms to watch two guys hump each other.
