The app is borderline unwatchable at this point. Every ppv eventvi order it freezes at least 3 times and like every 2 -5 minutes the sound goes out for 15-30 seconds. I dont pirate it because I'm afraid of getting malware on my lap top as I did last time I watched shit on the torrents an I dont have a VPN.

Is UFC actually moving soon orvos the Netflix thing just BS ? If they are staying on the shit show is there any other legit way to ORDER other than ESPN + ?
 
They'll go wherever the most money is. I could easily see Disney, netflix, and amazon all bidding on the UFC rights.

If I had to guess, yeah i think Netflix wins and PPV just goes away.

Is there a paywall tab on Netflix to where you would have to pay more outside of the subscription to watch?

UFC gets no money . Not with this crap they put out.
 
The rumor is UFC needs/wants a 1 billion deal to drop PPV. I doubt Netflix or Amazon will pay that considering the quality of UFC shows lately but a lot of these companies will overpay and use it as advertising and to boost their platform even if they lose money on it.

Netflix spends hundreds of millions on shitty movies. It would not surprise me if they give Dana and co a billion for an entire years content.

I think it would greatly help the product too. Cards would be a lot more balanced overall.
 
You won't get malware if you torrent properly with a seedbox and private trackers. Or so I hear.
 
I'm assuming the breakup is already a done deal. Didn't ESPN+ just remove all UFC content from their library? I'm assuming that move means the relationship is past the point of being salvaged.

Dana probably pulled some mafia shit in negotiations and then started insulting people.

It looks like the UFC is leaving ESPN this year for a network deal elsewhere, be it Netflix or whomever. The UFC has discussed the reality of moving away from the PPV model entirely as it is.
 
ESPN pays the UFC around 300k PPV buys, but lately they’ve been falling short especially with all the weak cards they’ve been putting out.

At this point, even the UFC probably knows a lot of people are just streaming illegally. So it's unlikely they will continue with the PPV model. Can’t wait until the Netflix deal so I can cancel ESPN+, the app is a mess.
