News UFC PPV's to now be $74.99 USD

[Hollywood Jack]

Fake snow is not getting cheaper. Totally understandable.

That other type of "snow" he likes isn't getting any cheaper either.

Meh. Not awful depending on the card.

 

[anuscakes]

Nothings been done to increase the quality of the PPV, they've let go some of their older stars recently and replace them with lower paid guys from DWCS.

 

[Steve Fox]

Still free for me.

This is amazing. Instead of copying the WWE Network idea for a super low price and access to all content/PPV's they went the complete opposite.
Almost every hardcore would be willing to pay $14.99 a month to not have laggy streams. Casuals would be in immediately.

I watch these with casuals and they always ask the price, and usually toss out "Are these things still like 50 bucks? That's insane for what you get, they should be $29.99 at the most." and then I have to correct them and say they're $69.99, now $75. LOL.

Unreal!

In wrestling circles it's pretty widely considered that WWE went with the all PPV content for free model way too quick. They cost themselves millions just by putting Wrestlemania on there instead of charging extra for it.

PPV model still clearly works if UFC set their record number of buys last year. People will still buy at this price point because people generally buy with emotion even if they can't afford it. Sucks for me the consumer that buys the more loaded shows though.

UFC 270 and UFC 271 are not worth $50 a piece
let alone $75 + tax plus ESPN+.

Overpriced water.

 

[honzo]

lol. he made a brief video.......

you think he's negotiating pay with jake paul?

he is president of the company though and does have a voice in the strategic direction and business plans of the company. he's not just an order taker. ufc management obviously has alot of input in how the company is managed.

I don't get your point

 

[EYEKICKFACES]

Breh, you don't get to cry about me calling you murican and say it doesn't trigger you.

Then again, you're from Ontario.... you can't help you are the way you are <45>

Poor Murican-lite kid.

LOL what? You sound VERY upset kiddo, get it together.

 

[MeatWagon06]

Blame Disney.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Will the fighters pay also go up?

No but that crypto logo on their walkout sweaters will be larger.

UFC 270 and UFC 271 are not worth $50 a piece

Overpriced water.

UFC 270 literally has only one bout with ranked fighters besides the two title shots, 271 has Izzy vs. Rob, Lewis vs. Tai (okay I guess but its HW counterpunchers with power so it could be awful), and Jared Cannonier vs. Derek Brunson (which is ugh)

 

[MoparOrNoCar]

Haven't bought a PPV since Nixon was in office

75 dollars, damn you americans are so used to being shafted by military contractors and big pharma, it must feel inevitable entertainment channels do the same.

Well I'll still take that over 5am PPVs

 

[GSP_37]

Haven't watched a live PPV since Jones/GSP era. For sure ain't ordering at this price.

 

[philweed]

You idiots are blaming it all on Dana but not a single mention of that scumbag Ari and WME. I can’t grasp how dumb some of you are. “Durrrrr, fake snow is getting expensive….durrrrrrr.” Tiny brains point to the guy who owns a small stake in the company but NEVER mention the real cash-grabbing scum who own the majority and make the real business decisions.

Get your head outta your asses.

 

[Wet Blanket]

So like $99 CAD??

I'm guessing easily 50% of Americans watching these PPV's are streaming for free. Really have no idea why anybody pays.
