Prediction: $50 bucks a month to get all UFC fight night events NOT PPVs

[93confirmed]

I already thought $85 for PPVs was a great value and now you're telling me I can get all of these incredible fight night cards for the low price of $50/month?? What a glorious day!

 

[Lycandroid]

Hmmmm, that's about 600 dollars a year presumably in US dollars?

not a chance in hell, If it included ppv, I'd flirt with the idea at a 300 dollar flat rate yearly in canadian dollars



Piracy isn't theft.

Yes it is, sorry you are broke ass loser who needs to justify thievery. If i were to pirate every dollar out of your bank account would that also not be theft ?

UFC BBJ and #PowerSlap both on YouTube, buddy Maybe they doing full mimic strategy go live and FREE on YouTube to follow Power Slap global path India finding love in Power Slap and YouTube haanji most populous country on Earth now UFC having eyes on the prize, ji whereas ESPN is full trash bin only

India has to be the number one country for power slap. I've watched probably 4,000 Indian street fights and none of them were with closed fists.

Words have a meaning, They mean what they mean. Piracy isn't theft, It's counterfeitting AT BEST. There is a distinct difference between the two.

If you REMOVED the money from my account you'd be stealing it, if you COPIED my money into your bank account, meaning my money was still in my account, you never stole it. You can get on your high horse all you want about what is the morally correct way to consume media, be my guest. But Piracy =/= theft. Shoplifting is theft. downloading a song is piracy.

Here's an exercise for ya dumb ass, If I purchased a CD at a store, then went home and downloaded it illegally One million times, Did they lose one million sales? No, obviously not you goofball.

If you want to teach other people, you should already know what the legal situation is. What you apparently don't know.
On the other hand: In the 70s and 80s, when there were still music casettes, 80% of the people did not buy the music, but had friends recorded. And the musicians still lived like kings.
And then: if there were not so many people who stream the UFC, there were probably only 10% of the amount of fans. Have you ever thought about it, senior teacher? And you wouldn't even know about the existence of MMA ...

I havent bought a UFC PPV since the "one time" increase for Tito Vs Randy that stayed permanent.

 

[ninja boot]

Its just the UFC's way of encouraging people to move over to streaming platforms.

if buying isnt owning then piracy isnt stealing.
i have an ESPN+ account, why should i have to pay more for PPV when its an outdated format that almost no other market uses? why dont i get access to PPVs with my subscription? plus, the stream quality isnt that great either. a few times a night i will have to refresh the UFC stream because it freezes up. so what am i paying for here?

i have watched free streams that have better video quality and buffering than the paid service i use. if the service cannot meet the customers demands despite the customer giving them money for their service, then the customer is justified in finding a better alternative. thats business!

You’re a complete LOSER ….. just saying

 

[Tito Tapped]

I guess he's saying it's an indication that the UFC will sign a new deal with them

"It's 100% certain and I know details about how they want to split the rights" =/= might be an indication.

 

[Fahcough]

The only way that survives is by the amount of idiots among us. Don't pay for it, problem fixes self.

 

[Deltron 6060]

Now that the WWE has announced today that its headed to the new ESPN DTC super network. Its almost a 100% guarantee that UFC will too.

Heres the problem with that, the subscription is 30 bucks a month... and UFC is planning on splitting their rights
too.

So we may end up in a situation like this:

ESPN DTC: $30
Netflix: $8 (cheapest option) or Prime
ESPN Plus: $12

50 bucks a month

Its going to be expensive to get all the fight nights, DWCS, etc. and don't forget the $80 ppv each month on top.

Espn + content is going to espn dtc, so $38 per month.

 

[don't ask]

India has to be the number one country for power slap. I've watched probably 4,000 Indian street fights and none of them were with closed fists.

It's a slapping culture

 

[CatchnShoot]

PowerSlap is teh ghey.... and dumb af.

 

[Bubzeh]

I don’t understand. I thought WWE had just sold everything to Netflix and people could just watch their shit through that? Now people have to pay ESPN and Netflix?

 

[CC27]

Why are people acting like you have to pay 30 dollars more? If you already have ESPN on cable like FIos or Comcast or DTV or youtube or whatever you get this for free. THis is just if you dont have cable but want all the ESPN channels, first take, monday night football, all the secondary ESPN 2, shows, all that then you can have this like Netflix or Hulu. Its not tied to a cable package.

 

[CC27]

I don’t understand. I thought WWE had just sold everything to Netflix and people could just watch their shit through that? Now people have to pay ESPN and Netflix?

In the US yes. I believe in other countries everything is on Netflix but in US its split. Netflix has Raw, USA Network has Smackdown and CW network has NXT. Peacock which is NBC's streaming platform had PLE events, mania, rumble etc but that deal ends now so ESPN picked up the PLE events.

So outside US I guess you just have Netflix and get everything, nothing changes but in US you'll need Netflix, cable package to watch USA network and CW and then ESPN to watch PLE events.

BUt if you already pay for ESPN in US through cable company like Comcast or Fios you get this new ESPN DTC platform for free.

 

[Fergelmince]

This is a different ESPN deal to replace expiring one. Espn are launching a super network for streaming, DTC for $30 bucks a month. It will have everything, ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN Deportes, ESPN U, literally all their library, sports rights. ESPN Plus will be a separate streaming service.

ESPN recently just bought NFL Network and Redzone too. Their trying to force NFL fans to get it too and WWE fans with today's announcement. UFC fans are next.

"unlimited plan for $29.99/month that gives fans access to all of ESPN’s linear networks – ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS, ESPN Deportes – in addition to ESPN on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+, and ACCNX, covering 47,000 live events each year, on-demand replays, studio shows, original programming, and more"

ESPN’s Direct-to-Consumer Service and Enhanced App Launching August 21

ESPN will launch its new previously announced direct-to-consumer streaming service on Thursday, August 21, bringing the full suite of ESPN networks and services – within an enhanced ESPN App with new, personalized features and functionality – directly to fans.

When the streams die, so does the UFC. That's just the reality of the situation. Nobody cares about your "tv deal". Lucky your diehards still stomach these asswater cards enough to watch.

 

[CieloLuce]

How big of a fan are you that you're willing to shell out $50 a month on mediocre/proven ESPN stream?

Because for me. It be stupid to pay that much for the fights.
