DisgustingPiracy is not a crime, overpricing a card that is not stacked is the crcrime.

You are wrong. Certain laws are recognised internationally, regardless of the country of origin.US laws and regulations are limited and cannot be applied to countries like Russia for instance.

Disney+? I'd never have imagined that it would be hosted on there.Its $15 a month to watch all ufc events on disney+ where I live, if not then I would 100% stream it lol
Imagine paying $75 for some of these dogshit cards
UFC isn't on PPV in Brazil they got all live events for about $5.View attachment 1089192
As can be seen here in this article, and many others, the PPV technical issues led to the projected numbers for such a big event being way lower.
Technical issues are a part of yes, but the price is also very high. 75 $ is a big amount specially for whoever is buying from Brazil, as an example, where 1 dollar ~ 5 or 6 reais. The price is just too high. Then, since non official illegal streaming can be found by many, even tho there are those issues as well I think, many would just ofc rather go in with the illegal streaming.
If they lowered the price to 20 $ I think it could help a lot... Still, if they don't find a way to totally shut down illegal streaming services, the # of PPV sales would keep being wayyy below.
But is there a way to shut down illegal streaming? Because if the UFC, who are considerably dependant upon PPV sales, can't shut them down, as powerful as the organization is, then.... Is that possible to shut down illegal service streams and then lower the price, making it more affordable? That way, PPVs would sales would go off the roof and explode. But without addressing those things, I feel, it'll continue being a rising problem. Illegal streams are becoming more and more accessible as well.
, it will still
Not only is it the fact you have buy ESPN+ but it's also the fact you have to buy the individual ppv at the highest prices they have ever been. I originally thought ESPN was going to charge for ESPN+ then drop the price for individual ppv to like $50 with an option for buying UFC ppv bundles. That was something I could sign up for.yeah and When this idea was pitched, I'm the sure the UFC was laughing when they left ESPN with the PPV bag.
However I'm sure espn+ has seen a large increase in subscriptions. Subscriptions are the best way to make money for these models. That's why xbox games pass, Netflix ect are such big hits. If it was just $29.99 to watch UFC for the whole month they'd easily get $360 a year off me, Rather than the 0 they are getting now.
Yeah well here's the issue, out side of the UFC's Product there is nothing else that espn+ provides that I can attach value to. I'm not going to watch Equestrian events, or cricket or whatever the fuck else they offer on their service. I dont care about sports documentaries and behind the scenes shit or 30 for 30 videos. I guess if you cared their could be value, but I only want Exactly what I want. Nothing else.Not only is it the fact you have buy ESPN+ but it's also the fact you have to buy the individual ppv at the highest prices they have ever been.

The way they are actually doing things prevents me too from giving them a dime. You can't piss on me and call it rain. I'm not going to keep ESPN rob me blind and while trying to convince me it's a good deal. It's not my fault they let the UFC talk them into dumb deal that leaves them holding the bag at the end of the day.
I couldn't agree lessIt's unlikely most people who watch UFC PPVs are stealing it.
Most people legitimately do not pirate things in developed countries. Most people don't know how and people are waaaay too lazy to figure it out.I couldn't agree less

What a weird world we live in.
Are you in us ?Its $15 a month to watch all ufc events on disney+ where I live, if not then I would 100% stream it lol

I disagree with this entire premise. The reason people use "netflix and shit" is because it is EASIER than pirating movies with a cost that is negligible. Most mma fans are generally younger and much more intune with technology.Most people legitimately do not pirate things in developed countries. Most people don't know how and people are waaaay too lazy to figure it out.
Pirating things is very easy, so people who do it assume everyone else does it. Not really the case, and seldom has been. Even for things that are easier to pirate than a PPV like a show or movie, hence why almost everyone has Netflix and shit.
