Yeah you don’t say.

They’re at like a minimum of $80 a fight at this point.

Of course people are going to pirate that shit, because that’s far far too expensive.

And they pump them out at a steady clip these days, which is great for people into the sport, but at that price it adds up quickly. And like Tyson fights back in the day, you might only get a few minutes of actual fighting for that price.

Man, even pirating UFC fights is more effort than it’s worth anymore. So much fluff. There’s this guy who pirates it, then he edits it down to just the fights and posts it. He’s the real champ.

I’ve been watching a bunch of Olympic boxing, and it’s crazy how many fights they can get in when you remove all the fluff. Of course, it’s only 3 rounds, but even so, think I’ve been able to watch 4 or more fights in an hour.

As long as people pirate there is still hope to get them back with a good service and price.

I on the other hand am a lost customer I just stopped consuming most of media. I rather spent an hour on the Threadyverse than watching a fight, a game or even a TV series.

Random anecdote - years ago there was a hurricane heading in our general direction but not a direct hit. There was also a big UFC event that my partner wanted to watch. A friend invited him to a local sports bar to watch it, but I asked him to please stay home because the weather was still shit.

So he did and I found it on the high seas, problem solved.

The friend went to the sports bar and got stranded when the parking lot flooded pretty badly and his car was ruined.
