It's 14 sentences. Holy shit. Lol.
About 13 too long there bucko.

I'm happy about it but it remains to be seen what they might change the subscription fee to once they have the UFC. They might just figure that will make people pony up a lot more. The PPV model's end is long overdue but don't forget FOX also put on big shows on the regular network when they had it.Does it matter if P+ is popular? I don't understand this gripe. What about it is bad for the UFC? They just got $1.1 billion a year. MLB only gets $1.5.
Big events will be on CBS. P+ is cheaper than ESPN+. It's $7.99. There's no more $80 PPVs. I think at this point, you guys just like to cry about things, lol.
As far as I know they have been crystal clear that it will only be the subscription price.Nobody knows whether Paramount will keep to the same pricing when they're showing the UFC. This will certainly be interesting. It's long overdue.
That's not what I meant. I meant will they raise that subscription price and how much. Netflix for instance raises their price almost every year now. Obviously it will still be a steal compared to PPV.As far as I know they have been crystal clear that it will only be the subscription price.
Indeed!You cheap cans who cried for years can now get access to UFC's PPVs for the starting price point of $7.99.
If any of you cans have complaints about this, you're basically a woman, lol.
They're even putting events on CBS. What a time to be alive!
From what I'm reading, it's a HUGE win for the UFC, increasing revenue with ESPN of around $500 million per year, to a guaranteed
$1.2 billion with Paramount/CBS.
Exposure-wise? hm, not sure.
ESPN, the self proclaimed leader of sports broadcasting, was easily the best platform the UFC has ever had.
As far as I know, not many bars, Buffalo Wild Wings, et al stream Paramount+ routinely, but who knows.
I have to keep espn+ for the NHL and now I have to add this as well. Probably won't be expensive but that's not the point.
And, importantly, will this increase in revenue trickle down to the fighters?
