Poor dying UFC only brought in $40 million or so in one night. I feel so bad for them. Maybe I could trade bank accounts with Dana to make him feel better.
Idk mang.the main event was a superfight for the hardcore fans. and the rest of the card was more about exciting matchups than starpower.
im speaking on why it didnt sell 700k ppvs. if they thought this was gonna be like 217 they're mistaken. this card and 225 had a lot of exciting fights and names on it for hardcore, regular ufc viewers.Idk mang.
I don't think WME is putting on events for the hardcore fans. There isn't any money in that, bc there are only a few 100 thousand of us, and most of us aren't paying.
How much would a 400,000 ppv buy card do if no one pirated and everyone bought? Any guesses? Over 2mil?
It’s extremely easy to stream nowadays so I dont doubt it!It's due in large part to streaming. I happen to know quite a few "casuals" who were very interested in 226. And almost all of them were bragging about streaming the fight as opposed to buying it. I was going to buy it for the first time in a LONG time, but chose to watch it at one of said casuals house instead after the Holloway / Ortega fight fell through. We even talked about it during the fights, mentioning how pissed we would be if we were the UFC, at just how many people were streaming the fights instead of buying them.
I can’t even convince myself or my wife to own traditional cable service.If everyone streaming it in PPV countries bought it instead? You'd be easily at 2 million. Thing is though if it wasnt available for free the vast majority of those people wouldn't pay for it. The idea of one event costing $65 is ludicrious to young people nowadays. Most of the games they play are free. They can stream all the shows they want for $10 a month. PPV model is going to steadily decline as those people age more and more into the target demographic.
I’m too stupid for that 1080p shit but best believe I’m rocking the shit out of that 480i shit!!!Even though it has waned a bit I still think that there is plenty of interest in the UFC, it's just that illegal streams and torrents are killing them. If anything the PPV model is dying. Anybody with an IQ over 80 can figure out how to pirate the shit in HD these days.
If I'm not buying a fight, I usually go to my nephews house where he streams. It's all set up by the time I get there, so I had never seen the exact process. I went to my friends house this past Saturday and watched his 13 yr old son set it all up rather quickly, I was kind of shocked at how easy it was.It’s extremely easy to stream nowadays so I dont d
It’s really easy through KODI add ons. It doesn’t take much knowledge just how to get the add on links from the internet. It just depends on your effort!
