Viaplay puts UFC into the bargain basement

[Mittens]

Dunno how much interesting discussion this will create, but seems like UFC is in the less meaningful bucket for the local sports packagae provider.

So far they have only had one size fits all tier for sports where you get absolutely everything (inclucing shows that are on PPV in the states, of course*) for single price, but now they introduced a B-leagues tier with random stuff and niche sports for a bit less. The really Big Things stay in the pricier tier (and you of course get the lower stuff with the higher price too) - like English Premiership, Formula 1 and NHL.

UFC IS DYING?

Or a potentially smart business move from the provider to get some people to pay for UFC alone cause they are Real Men and don't watch those other pansyass sports?

(Viaplay IS dying, so they will look for any revenue streams they can think of)

*of course, except the goddamn McGregor tax, I wish the fucker never fights again cause waiting until Fight Pass to see an interesting fight that had the misfortune of being on a McGregor card which was actually a PPV is really irritating.

We used to have a Viaplay fighting package that was reasonably priced. Now it’s only Viaplay total with everything else included. Haven’t heard anything about a cheaper version coming?

The Viaplay fighting package was already a thing like a decade ago. Somewhere along the way they made it so you needed to pay for the whole sports package to get the UFC.

Its not exactly surprising considering the lack of drawing fighters from the core area and Conor not fighting.

Not to mention most of the interesting stuff happening in middle of the night.

Viaplay Medium, at least hete in the nordics. About ten money cheaper without the couple of big ones listed.

Does not help me cause I am payint for Premiership anyway, UFC is just a ”bonus”

Thanks, found it now. It’s only like 7€ cheaper than the total in a month. For me the same thing, UFC is just a bonus atm.

I’ve paid for total for a long time since I watch every UFC event and some NHL every now and then. Some winter sports like skiing, too, since the wife loves it.

Viaplay seems to be barely hanging on, though. Too many sports put in one package and of course it’s expensive. Maybe the Medium package brings some new viewers, but to me it doesn’t change anything at the moment.
