Why do the PPV numbers have to be a secret?
Bad results hurt Dana's feelings.

Senior Moderator calling people who don’t steal the stream “marks”.
Can’t make this stuff up. Only on sherdog.
Brundage was lowest paid and he got 64 grand, almost everyone was 6-7 digits before locker room bonuses.Who got 15k on that card?
It's not my fault. This is how the internet works now. User access has never been higher or easier.Senior Moderator calling people who don’t steal the stream “marks”.

Dana?Imagine living in an apartment, which I assume you do, and thinking you know how to run a business.

WWE basically gives their PPVs away for free with a Peacock account, and they're doing better than they have in years. I figured others would follow; why would I pay for an ESPN+ account, just for the ability to buy a $60+ PPV?It's not my fault. This is how the internet works now.

UFC would be wise to evolve adopt something like a fight pass + streaming option for ~$30 that includes that month's "PPV". PPV was king back in the days of cable TV and no internet. This isn't the 90s or 00s anymore. Shift happened in the 10s and now it's locked in.
Sherdog pays for all my PPVs so I get everything in dat crisp 4k on my 98" QLED in my home theater so this doesn't really apply to me
We know the PPV numbers are in the toilet, just announce them. The model has changed for the UFC. They get paid being on ESPN and endorsements (which they keep mostly for the company). They get paid for having a lot of events so that is the reason for DWCS on Tuesdays and DWSCS (Dana White Saturday Night Contender Series) which Dana calls Apex events. "It is what it is".Bad results hurt Dana's feelings.
Precisely. With the ESPN + partnership, why not get an upgraded package that incldudes that month's "PPV"? They'd make so much more money that way its infururiating they don't.WWE basically gives their PPVs away for free with a Peacock account, and they're doing better than they have in years.

At this point, when I buy PPVs it's because I do not want to miss something due to a stream freezing. If the price was cheaper I would probably buy more. I don't have a group of people to split it with and have a watch party so $80 can be damn steep sometimes unless it's a great card. And why on god's green earth is the native ESPN App on my TV dogshit and why can't I cast from the ESPN App on my phone to my chromecast. They need to fix their shit.It's not my fault.
