News UFC PPV's to now be $74.99 USD

[Bubzeh]

Outrageous pricing but then again, 90 percent of viewers don't pay it anyway. Only really affects the bars and such.

 

[kenetics]

My thoughts exactly.

 

[JarlSkuld]

The UFC priced me out of watching their events a few years ago. I didn't mind spending 20-25 bucks for an evening of entertainment...but 75 bucks? Isn't that illegal?

you must be smoking crack if you can hear people's texts. stop projecting your insecurities on me just because you have no rebuttal and you're pissed off because you took what i said personally. i guess you are one of the dummies i'm talking about with how butthurt you just got. what you mistaken for "having a heart attack" is actual passion, something that you have no idea about because you sit in an echo chamber of do nothings and jerk off for likes about things you're completely wrong about.

nobody is calling out the UFC, they're acting like Dana White is personally in control of what happens. it's hilarious because you're too dumb to even realize i'm not against calling the UFC out, i'm against being stupid about it and pretending like you're going to do something about it when you don't.

go ahead and do something to help them or shut up. you and the other clueless fighter pay people on this forum are the reason the fighter pay sucks. because you're too dumb to do anything about it. you think it's checkers and it's chess. wake up.

Lol at "passion". You're a bootlicker whose best quality is following orders.

Write another wall of text crying about people criticizing Dana and the UFC. I look forward to it.

They’ve always been free for me.

 

[DaleBoca]

Will the fighters pay also go up?

 

[Kevin Sorbo]

Yeah, uh, i wouldn't even pay $60 for the shit PPV's they have been putting on for the last few years. PPV's used to be stacked and even then it's a ripoff when you think about it. But $75 for watered down cards? lol, no chance in hell. I'm surprised people have still been buying them to be honest.

 

[Boomb]

I'd rather not say what was the last PPV I bought, so it doesn't make any difference to me. They can charge them 500$, for all I care.

 

[Dana King]

UFC shooting for that extra 100 Milly for 2022. Goal is at least 100 million a year. So 1,100,000,000 in profit for 2022

 

[UncleChester]

UFC 4 was like 19.99 if I remember correctly.

Ufc needs to ditch the ppv model. Either get them on ESPN with a commercial deal like every other major sport, or get a Fight Pass + with every event, fight night and “PPVs” for $25 a month plus the current library

paying $75 to watch a single event is such a stupid system

I would happily pay that if PPV were included.

 

[avenue94]

my point is most of these dummies here who are fake outrage pretending that they're mad about fighter pay actually contribute to the fighter pay being low without realizing it and are not even blaming the correct people because they have done zero research, have no common sense, and are just sheep that live in an echo chamber of agreeing with the rest of the dummies.

Little food for thought: What would benefit fighters as a whole more, an extra 1 million buys, or an extra 1 percent of revenue going to fighters? I think it's the latter, which seems to point at the main constraint on fighter pay being structural, not pirating.

It will always mean MMA has no chance to truly become mainstream as it is a significantly gated product. Until they can do a free to TV deal for all content the UFC will be niche.

Honestly the price is absolutely crazy and will likely turn people away from the sport.

of course it's structural. but why are you even asking this question? it seems like you're trying to justify piracy like it's not contributing to the fighter pay problem. you can't have your cake and eat it too. you're either for better fighter pay and want to do everything possible to better it, or you're ok with how it is and that's why you're ok with pirating ppvs.

it doesn't matter anyway because the money sink is WME/IMG's debt it's not greed just to greed.

 

[The Eagle]

To be fair I don't care if it's 10$ or 100$. Still not paying for it.

following orders? are you an idiot? i just said i'm for fighter pay. all i'm doing is trying to educate you dumb yokels on what you should actually be focused on. but keep being an ignorant dummy, and you keep fighting whatever futile fight you think you're fighting.

you think it's because i love Dana but it's really because Dana isn't the problem. it's the gigantic media conglomerate that owns UFC and Dana, he's just a puppet. wake your back water ass up and realize what's going on. wall of text? you must type just as slow as your brain thinks.

 

[dagfin]

They've done their research. People already paying for this crap won't mind an extra 5 bucks since they obviously must have more money than they can spend.

Here UFC (along with bellator, PFL and 4-5 other promotions, and other sports ofc
) is included in my 10€/month sport pack, the fight nights and PPVs. It just doesn't include the prelims but anyway I got the fight pass, like everybody should. So in the end that's about 20€/month.
