Rumored UFC Heading To NETFLIX - Leaving ESPN

[Black9]

Love it or hate it?!

 

[Tweak896]

Both are more of the same. 2 companies willing to burn money to convert to subscribers at any cost. Guess UFC will continue their usual Apex gameplan.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Its rumored to be around 1 Billion a year contract with Netflix...absolutely wild, hope to see a fighter pay increase.

 

[Mammothman]

Are you fucking kidding me? I just bought ESPN just for the UFC, I knew I should not have done it.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Makes sense as UFC's big brother WWE is already there.

 

[Danespina]

Would that include Canada? Would be wonderful for me.

Ah yes... I too know what that is like
... because I also spend actual money to buy the UFCs.

every fighter on the roster will have Netflix. You don’t need healthcare with Netflix, you can watch a show on tribal remedies and fix your bum life

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

hope to see a fighter pay increase.

I love you Husky, but you and I both know that's not happening

 

[rollthedice]

Doesn't bother me, I haven't watched a single event on ESPN

I mean...it has to, maybe not at the rate it should but UFC net worth is crawling towards 13 Billion, this Netflix contract is rumored to hit a record high. Other promotions like ONE, KSW and PFL have been paying fighters more than IN GENERAL Pride, Strikeforce or WEC did etc. We are reaching an interesting crossroads in fighter pay.

 

[Kingz]

All the UFC champions will become black overnight

Will be interesting to see how Netflix Dagestani’s look

The ESPN+ app is notoriously dogshit. But ESPN is THE place for sports. They might just be playing hardball to get a better deal when contract negotiations begin. As they should.

 

[vinnie245]

Seemed inevitable what with WWE already on Netflix, get the same done for UFC and all of TKO is under 1 streaming service.
Definitely will be an improvement, ESPN has been on the decline for a long time.

 

[Ares Black]

Hate it

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Best we can do is a cheaper Netflix subscription for fighters.

Netflix has been obtaining more and more "sports" programming as of late. It wouldn't be a suprise at this point.
