[ChrisBenoit]

I see a few big fights this year getting postponed especially Ank vs. Alex.

 

[Adamant]

So glad it's not Disney.

Thank god man those bootleg streams always cut out during decent events

 

[BigTruck]

Zero complaints. None on this end. It's now cheaper than I could have ever imagined it would be.

START TIME!!!!!! I'm the oldest I've ever been right now! 1am doesn't exist anymore to me 10pm is late!

If any of you cans have complaints about this, you're basically a woman, lol.

What about UFC fight pass? To be honest for me as an European, more important is archive than live events. Some fights a year are worth to wake up 4, and I am constantly watching old fights, since I am regular combat sport viewer for like 2 years.

 

[skobydog]

I'm a poor woman so I will still stream.

Unless it has changed you get P+ if you have Walmart plus. I have no idea how Paramount is doing but there is a huge potential customer base.

 

[Cooliox]

That’s a huge deal.

a billion a year is madness.

I did not know that the UFC drew that kind of revenue. Especially now the the product is more stale than it has been in a long while.

HW and LHW have essentially dried up.

Anyways. As a fan of the sport, I’m happy to hear that so much money is being pumped into it.

I hope the fighters get paid more than Reebok coupons now

Dana CBS news interview

Interesting model giving oop PPV buyz, but offering double or triple or more exposure to their best cardz. It makes me feel they'll make up teh difference with advertising dollars. Gonna cost a lot more to have your logo on teh cage somewhere, or to have Bruce Buffer speak your product's name as he'z announcing fights.

Obviously enhancing Paramount's subscriberz... is a huge win that will bring in an entire fan base to Paramount who might stay after UFC moves on after this contract. I've been seeing Paramount around for yearz, but now I might actually bite. Very cool they're offering their entire package along with the UFC... numbered events & all.

Fook comercialz... I'd spend $3/month more ($36/year) to nix fooking commercialz.

Teh fook doez Dana mean "4 huge events per year?" I thought every numbered PPV waz supposed to be a huge event. Not that we got that, but I find this declaration a bit disheartening.

Disney just doesn't give a fuck what burns in flames, it's bizarre. Took years of terrible movies for them to even realize they need to change things up. Their stock price is garbage, investors have to be pretty stupid to be long term in it.

 

[FlowchartRog]

Highly doubt it, they still have a contract with TNT Sports. Which isn't so bad when you have a dodgy fire stick. I get every sports channel free.

Where did you get your "Dodgy fire stick"?

He got it from the local swap meet.

So Canadians are fucked ?

Well not fucked, just the same until the Sportsnet contract is over. We'll see if they play something else on CBS for the cable peeps though.
