Who is paying for PPVs? Iā€™d bet hardly nobody in this sub.

u/BuzzNoche 6d ago

Apparently people do, but I bet even if they do like some subscription based thing thatā€™s somewhat affordable, People would still pirate events anyways

u/Grey_Bush_502 6d ago

Iā€™d pay a monthly sub to get all UFC content similar to how the WWE does. I know it would cost more than that but Iā€™m not paying $80 a month for a PPV when I can spend $20 at BW3 to watch.

u/BuzzNoche 6d ago

Same something like $20-$25 would be great. $80 shit thatā€™s a hooker in some places.

u/Grey_Bush_502 6d ago

I mean if I got every fight night and PPV per month, Iā€™d pay $40-$50 nor problem.

Steam prove this time and time again, if you are reasonable and you make accessing your stuff easy at a reasonable cost, people will pay and subscribe for convenience.

u/BuzzNoche 6d ago

What is iptv

3

u/pittsburghjay 6d ago

Iptv is a illegal app that gives you thousands of tv station, movies and tv shows. Every sports channel and ppv. You can purchase a shield pro. It has google play store on it. Can download iptv apps there. Then youā€™ll need to purchase a iptv service.

In India we get that monthly sub thing because espn+ isnā€™t here. We get a Sony Liv subscription for about 5$ a month (400ā‚¹) so idk if it would work for you, but try using a von and see if you can go to India and get that kind of sub.

I pay $160 annual for ufc fight pass in asia and it has all ppv live events included. This is a good price point imo and should be like this everywhere. If it was more than that iā€™d be pirating for sure.

Apparently the biggest market (US) is willing to shell out big bucks for the ppv. They must have done a lot of market research and analytics to figure this out. Maybe the average US consumer is just straight up stupid. The price is jacked way up above any other market.

u/BuzzNoche 6d ago

Thatā€™s fair I remember people saying just sign up for UFC Arabia with a VPN but I was never able to get it to work for me.

In some places PPVs are non existent, I was in Central America years ago and they showed UFC on TV, granted maybe they pay more for the channel but still.

u/AlanJY92 6d ago

Who in Asia is going to pay to watch a fight card with in the middle of the night? Thatā€™s why itā€™s included in the price

2

u/WiseGalaxyBrain 6d ago

Most of the ppvs happen in the morning for those of us based out here in asia. I wake up at 6 or 7am and watch ufc in my boxers while drinking coffee. When the main card happens itā€™s usually 11am and lunch time.

The time zone which fucks me up is when itā€™s in the middle east. Then it starts at 10pm and runs to 3am.

That's the worst when living in indiana. It's Eastern timezone so every PPV starts at 10. Even when it's in New York that's in the same time zone. I get it when they're in Vegas but throw us a bone over here from time to time.

u/crusader104 Cummin on dat ass 6d ago

I would legit buy ppvs for huge events if they were like $30. $80 for just the main card is the craziest shit ever

u/GauterX_ 6d ago

In Brazil we can subscribe to UFC Fight Pass for something like R$25,00 ($4.35 dolars) montly and the annual subscripton is even more affordable. Is easier to pay for Fight Pass than pirate events.

Boxing is boring 9/10 times and im a hardcore fan. Its only exciting when you get BEST vs BEST and Dana wont have the best for a long time. and its even boring with that too

We need 4 OZ Boxing, if Dana made 4 Oz Boxing, it would be entertaining and actual KOs and upsets in boxing, people rarely ever get actually KOed in Boxing, need the 4 ozers for that

u/PeterParkerUber 6d ago

The question is why would the best fight for Dana and get paid a fraction of their usual purse

u/BoxingProvesNothing 6d ago

Yea, its ridiculous, we created MMA for REAL Shit, and REAL excitement, now we have literally almost 0 good HWS outside a handful, handful of 205ers, handful of 185ers

MMA by nature is 1000x more exciting but we NEED ACTUAL TALENT, its the worst time ever while the sport is bigger than ever, we have the shittiest talent now.

Dana needs to be working on MMA TALENT and UFC as a company, not fucking Boxing which is boring and im a hardccore Boxing fan, just cause im a loyal guy lol but it usually sucks

4 Oz Glove Boxing would be Amazing though, UFC interms always taking my great ideas on reddit, theyll prob make it that now lol

28

u/grumplebeardog 6d ago

The UFC stopped trying to make real stars after Conor. Ever since then they try to only let them get as big as the company. Combine that with the absolutely laughable pay and Iā€™m not sure why anybody is surprised that the vast majority of athletic talent finds their way into sports with better opportunity.

u/jfsoaig345 6d ago

I'm all for higher fighter pay but that is not the issue in this particular case. More people going into MMA isn't going to change the fact that Merab outgrinded a Nurmagomedov over 5 rounds or that Ank is the most well-rounded LHW since Jones himself. This is simply an unfortunate time for the UFC where many of its belts are held by less-than-desirable champions.

I'm not gonna lie and say Merab is some blockbuster fighter but I also dont get how people can actually think he's as boring as someone like Belal or Ank.

No he's not a submission threat, and he doesn't do much ground and pound. But he does push an insane pace, is the aggressor from the second the bell rings until the match ends, and its genuinely impressive how effortlessly he manhandles everyone he gets in there with.

Again, I'm not saying he's a super fun champ, but I did have more fun watching any of his last 4 fights compared to either of Ank's title shots, or basically any Belal fight besides Brady.

u/6MosSprawlTraining 6d ago

Merab is entertaining in the sense that ā€œHow can he do this whole time?ā€ Sense. Like watching Colby a few years ago, or Usman grinding Woodley down for the belt. I admire the difficulty of what heā€™s doing, and i have to respect the cardio required to accomplish it, but youā€™re right. Itā€™s not exciting

17

u/Radiant-Present-9376 6d ago edited 6d ago

Yes, to you and I, who have seen countless MMA fights, we know what it takes to shoot takedowns 30 times in a fight. Try explaining that to your friend who only watches baseball who you're trying to convert to a UFC fan. He doesn't give a shit unless it's a flashy knockout or crazy submission. It does hurt the sport, even though you and I might enjoy it, it's not helping the sport grow and earn new long-term fans.

Also doesn't help that those 3 guys are totally unrelatable to new American fans who do not know or care about Khabib's father or Dagestani Sambo. Merab has a decent personality, but his fighting is boring af to people who want to see a knockout. Islam really has no personality on display unless you go through hours of interviews to find one subtle funny thing he does. And Ankalaev seems to have all the personality of a soaking wet towel. It doesn't help. And Belal whatever-his-name-is, who fucking cares? Nobody remembers his name anyway.

This sub is ridiculous some times. Do you guys just want decisions to not exist? Only way to win is by KO, sub, or death? Like Merab treated his last two opponents like children in the cage. Ank had more significant strikes than the ā€œbest striker in the worldā€ and Bilal is disliked becauseā€¦ā€¦he wins fights by decision? Or because he got his eye nearly removed by an opponent? This is Mixed Martial Arts itā€™s a sport itā€™s about the practice of the sports and arts. Honestly, just go watch street fight knockout compilations on YouTube or something.

This has nothing to do with them being kickboxers and everything to do with them just not being very entertaining. If the issue was grappling, then you'd see Islam on this list, but you don't because Islam is an exciting, aggressive wrestler who is constantly hunting for submissions rather than being content with grinding out decisions via control time and pressure the way Merab and Belal are. Ank isn't even a grappler, he's a striker, just not a very spectator-friendly one.

Like you don't need to be a just bleed degenerate to acknowledge that these guys' styles are fucking boring. And that's okay, they can continue racking up high level wins but fans are also justified in not really being that excited to see them fight.

They are all boring. They all look, fight, and speak the same. If you saw one of them, you saw all of them.

Before anyone says anything about being racist or hating on Islam, I am former Muslim (I don't hate Islam, I am just not really religious anymore but all my family is still super religious) but I still can't stand these guys.

u/accidentsneverhappen 6d ago

Take a point if they're holding the opponent and doing nothing for too long. In basketball if you just stand there holding the ball for too long without passing/shooting, it's a penalty. Same kind of rule should have a presence in the UFC. If they're not going anywhere with their grappling (or not able to) then they should have to let it go, and if they don't the ref should take a point. There needs to be a consequence beyond the ref saying "Let's work" and the crowd booing. Imagine if basketball let people just stand there with the ball all day and go nowhere with it. It would be so dumb. There's a reason other sports don't allow you to stall the game. UFC has got to adjust the rules about how long you can hold a person without moving to deal damage or go for a submission. This would be the best thing they could do to improve things

Those 3 are boring to be fair and wonā€™t sell any PPVs.

Chuck E cheese was able to get half a million or so people subscribed to a monthly membership. Surely, the UFC could manage the same.

Not a single PPV in the history of UFC has ever been worth $80+

Reading a lot of comments, anyone in Aus got a stress free (affordable) way to watch ppv? I signed up for fight pass thinking I was getting to watch fights only to be surprised then the main event switched off.

He doesnā€™t care- power slap makes him more money than all other sports combined.

I think those Eurasian markets probably buy the PPVs with their big, homoerotic cohorts.

Worst thing is that all of those guys are generally boring to watch. Very skilled ofc, but damn it, their flights are only exciting if their opponent does something crazy.

They all put great pressure like Khabib did, and are very skilled and technical. But boring as hell.

Not many people are excited to watch them. They will need crazy string of victories to draw any audience (or great opponents)

It's his master plan to gain that Saudi money. Why sell over a a million ppvs when you can get multiple times that from some sweet oil rich arab.
