I believe you're wrong. It's not that people aren't willing to pay, it's that there are easy to find free alternatives if you know what you're doing. And, in MM case especially, younger fans (who watch twitch and go on reddit and shit) who are newer to the sport and don't know of a time where FlW didn't exist are knowledgeable and acclimated enough to have access to that free option.
MM fanbase just doesn't translate to the PPV model.
Why does every single stream on the planet suddenly stop working for Conor's fights?
And besides, that doesn't really matter. If his fights don't generate money, his value goes down. The cause doesn't really matter. We aren't talking about popularity. We are talking about economic productivity.
People really need to get out of the idea of a just-universe. Mighty Mouse is arguably the best P4P fighter in the game today, and arguably a top 5-6ish fighter in MMA history. That has *no* bearing on these topics.
