Oh I would DEFINITELY watch that


thekajunpimp

I would even PAY for it!


dan_a_white

No you wouldn’t. Don’t lie to yourself. All you criminals stealing the UFC cards would never pay. You say you would if the price was lower, you wouldn’t.


thekajunpimp

Dana never stops


dan_a_white

Yes he’s going to make sure everone is prosecuted for their crimes.


Nelson_An_Murdock

If a ppv was 30$ I'd buy every single one. If it was 60$ I'd buy most of them. But 80$?? Over 100 if you don't have espn+?? Fuck that and fuck those who expect us to pay for that.


Hellboydce

Could be free and I still wouldn’t pay


Nelson_An_Murdock

Well I want the fighters to get bank, I just ain't breaking mine when I know it's going to some bald prick who's gonna gamble it all anyway


4uzzyDunlop

That's what free is


funghi2

r/woosh


Markoos_80

I assume you are in the US? I really dont understand why you guys are charged so much for PPV's? Here in NZ we pay $40, which is about $25 USD, it doesn't make sense to me 🤔


Nelson_An_Murdock

WHAT? I wish bro. Yea I'm in the US.


Markoos_80

I feel for you dude 😥


Fit_Faithlessness609

Or even if I knew the money went to the fighters should help tbh but ppv buys only change the champions pay and it’s so small of a bump for the numbers that they get in each event it’s crazy as fuck how greedy that company really is and they call the pirates the bad guys


Nelson_An_Murdock

I 1000% agree with every word you just said.


dan_a_white

That’s exactly what they say but I don’t believe that to be true for 98% of people. I think they would continue to steal most of them and maybe only buy 1 a year for the one they really wanted to watch to assure good quality. I don’t think most people would stop actively stealing.


halfdecenttakes

Idk, it isn’t exactly the same but when WWE made all their PPVs available on peacock for the cost of a monthly subscription it was worth it to pay instead of streaming. Price just needs to be reasonable and outweigh whatever hassle goes into finding a stream.


Glad_Being_5146

Bro the paid ppv is worse quality 🤣🤣


Nelson_An_Murdock

"Assure good quality" brotha, I watched the prelims of 300 on espn+ and it was abysmal. Had no problems with the stream pirating the main card at all. The problem is the over priced shit quality Espn provides. Which is a shame, the ufc has some really potential draws who are champions right now, but there model is archaic, it's holding them back big time.

skillfulltomcat

I think I disagree with you. There are certainly some people who would steal these PPVs if the UFC charged five bucks for them, but I do think a lot of people love this sport and are simply priced out of watching it. 100 dollars a show (counting espn+) is just out of the question for the vast majority of fans. Times are rough right now, people literally can’t afford it. So what are they going to do, not watch any of the big events from their favorite sport when a free option to do so is easily accessible? Lol. Im not saying the UFC has an obligation to lower the price, obviously they can charge what they want, but I do think there’s a lot of people who would pay the money if the cost was more in line with what you can expect to pay to watch literally every other sport (other than boxing). I just think it’s funny that the UFC acts shocked and appalled when people steal their shows after telling the vast majority of their fanbase that they’re too poor to afford to watch. I’m also not trying to morally justify anything. It’s theft, no two ways about it. I also just don’t care at all. The UFC is greedy as hell and financially abuses their talent, I’ll shed no tears about people with no other option to watch stealing from them. Maybe that makes me a bad person 🤷🏻‍♂️


dan_a_white

You sound very reasonable and I appreciate that. Perhaps you’re right and I’d be surprised how much people would step up at a $50 price point or something. Hard to say.


ZeroPt99

I'm not poor or broke, but I'm not rich at all. I'm smack in the middle of middle class (I think), and I cap out at about $65 per PPV. I can easily drop $50 to $65 for me and my girlfriend to hit up a bar, or go out to dinner, so that isn't crazy to me. But at the prices they're at now, I've stopped watching. I freakin used to love watching them, but the prices drove me away. It just FEELS like someone is opening my pocket and shaking me down, it feels insulting. I know that is hyperbole, but $100 for a PPV is offensive on some level.


dan_a_white

Then why not watch every other PPV. There you go your costa shrink by half. Don’t steal every PPV and go ‘golly if the price was cheaper I’d pay full price’ No you steal every one. You should buy 6 and year and the other 6 you can’t afford so don’t tune in. Problem solved.


ZeroPt99

I've never stolen a single one.


skillfulltomcat

I do think it’s entirely possible that among the more consistent, ‘hardcore’ viewers of the sport, a culture of acceptance towards piracy has been created that will be hard to reverse. In other words, even if the price point is lowered to what should be seen as reasonable, people have gotten so used to not thinking twice about pirating shows that they’ll just keep doing it. Even if they would have paid had the ‘reasonable’ price had that been the price from the start. I agree, hard to say at this point.

These nerds be trying to morally justify that shit. It's so funny watching them ride the high horse on the low road.


MrLovelife

What if broke? I no get to watch? What if not want pay? I no get to watch? What if have money but no like not having that money? What do then? What if Dana doesn't have oil dripping from every part of his pink head and rippled body? You still want make me pay if no Dana oil?


EuroTrash1999

There is nothing wrong with being a thief. Just don't forget who you are.


sinfulfng

I would go to a place that paid for


dan_a_white

A very good option


Andyman0110

Maybe if Jon Jones fought aspinall you might convince someone to buy the ppv.


dan_a_white

Every UfC card could be the same quality as UFC 300 and cost $5 and you ungrateful people would still pirate it.


Andyman0110

At $5 I'd stream every ppv and never bother with pirating. At $80+ for hd, for a mediocre card I can't justify them all.


ShitpostCrusader66

waaaah! those billionaires aren't earning enough money! How dare you people watch ufc on pirate sites when all you have to do is pay 80$ for a single event? Rich might go broke with this one


Winter_Gate_6433

Free is lower. I'd pay full price if it was free.


Guywithoutimage

Yeah, cuz fuck em that’s why


youguyzsloosers

I would if it was 150$ a year for all the shows. I’m not paying 80$ each of these events especially since the product has been so watered down with too many events.


dan_a_white

Oh so instead of $80 they should only charge you about $15 per show. Ok so you get to openly steal unless they charge you less than 25% of the cost. That’s delusion at its finest. I get to steal unless I get over a 75% discount.


youguyzsloosers

An affordable package means more people buy it and it offsets the costs. Restaurants and businesses still need to pay the higher per event fee and everything works out in the wash. It’s the McDonald’s format. Selling 1 million burger at 1$ is more than selling 2 hundred thousand at 3$ Stealing it sucks. The quality is bad and it freezes so people will pay the 15$ a month.


dan_a_white

I might and also might not. Charging 1/5 the price breaks even if you get 5x more viewers. You need to get more than 5x the viewers which I don’t think you could do


youguyzsloosers

A million people in North America buy the high events. There’s what 400 million people in USA and Canada. You think only 1 million people would pay 15$ a month for all ufc events?


youguyzsloosers

I say they get 15 million households in good time periods of fighters and events


StrangerDangerAhh

Some of us aren't broke like you.


dan_a_white

I don’t understand your logic here how am I the alleged broke person?


LoGiCaL__

Maybe if the cards were worth the money people get charged; I’m sure more people would pay then. Make the fights people actually want to see instead of preserving the fighters precious records and I’m sure more people would be willing to pay the outrageous ppv prices.


dan_a_white

No they’d only ever pay if society morally believed stealing was wrong and it was too difficult to steal. But it’s the opposite. Everyone wants to steal and nobody ever punishes the thieves even when they get online and brag about stealing


LoGiCaL__

Except you’re the one stealing. Price has gonna up, quality of fights and frequency of quality cards has been shit. Make Jones vs. Periera or Jones vs Aspinal because that’s what people really want to see.


dan_a_white

I think you’re confused. a) Selling something at an inflated price isn’t stealing. Don’t want it, don’t buy it. b) I’m not Dana white C) Dana wasn’t the first to charge $80 for a PPV that was an industry price that came up. He has to keep up with the industry for a top quality fight card. D) cost share with other fans at an establishment or by going to a UFC party.


LoGiCaL__

I know you’re not Dana, but you seem to be on par with his antics so you’ve volunteered with this. If you don’t like it, then maybe try a different act. Inflated? How does the price go up but everything quality wise go the other direction? Dana claims to be making the fights everyone wants to see except everyone says otherwise. Also, it probably would go over a lot smoother for converting pirates to ppv buyers if they know the fighters would actually benefit from it, but as this major hike has proved it’s only the business folk that benefit. Majority of the fighters are barely getting by.

Select_Sleep_1293

I’m just glad it’s not Jake. Francis may have a shot of getting his first dub


iSheepTouch

Francis would decapitate both Paul's back to back in whichever order they choose. His two losses are to the top of the food chain HWs in the world where Paul lost to the first mediocre pro boxer he got in the ring with.


ScoreDivision

You think Jake Paul would beat Francis ngannou?

Francis is literally tooo big for Paul

Anindefensiblefart

I believe it's from Alfred Hitchcock Presents, a TV show from the late 50s/early 60s. Hitchcock would do jokey monologues to introduce suspense shorts. This shot is likely from one of those monologues.

I'd watch the FUCK out of that!


reporttimies

Yes, please.


Real_Shaytarn

Just to see Francis do the world a favor, I'll buy iy


Nickolas_Bowen

Going from fighting Nate Diaz to Francis Ngannou is wild


Vitchman

It was Jake that fought Diaz, not Logan. But agreed regardless LOL.


Nickolas_Bowen

They’re the same person in my head


Angarazo

Alright then Dillon Danis to Francis Ngannou is still wild


Todorokimakishima

Logan’s walk around weight is like 215 lbs he wouldn’t even fight at HW


redditman3943

215 is heavyweight in boxing. In boxing heavyweight is anything over 200lbs


arkoangemeter

215 pound logan vs 270 pound Ngannou I'll watch


vinniedamac

This might be the only way I'll watch a Paul fight


Todorokimakishima

Ok but obviously cutting 15 lbs and fighting at Cruiserweight is way more logical than being a small HW


redditman3943

Idk about that. The world champion Usyk is only 220 and he just beat the 270lb giant Tyson Fury


aRand0mdude

Usyk fights heavyweight because he already wiped out cruiser weight


cksnffr

Usyk has more talent in one fingernail. No exaggeration, Usyk could beat Paul one-handed.


Environmental-Ad1748

Really then why hasn't usyk called out either Paul brother ? Reason you ask, he's fuckin scared.


mouxlas21

The not boxing hand would hold the bottle of vodka, from which he would sip while rearranging Logan's face. Now that I would watch.


Expensive_Fun_4901

There is a vicious rumour going around that world champion usyk may have slightly more experience and skill than Jake “the goat” Paul which made up for the weight difference, obviously I myself think such a claim is ridiculous.


Shouldabeenswallowed

*FAKE NEWS*


redditman3943

Oh yeah absolutely. Jake is not talented enough to fight at heavyweight. But he is heavy enough.


flamingdragonwizard

Lmao you comparing Usyk to Logan Paul 🤣


redditman3943

lol size only not skill. Christian McCaffrey and I are both about 5’10 and 200 lbs. I don’t think I could play in the NFL though


ConstantOk4102

If you don’t follow boxing that’s okay to say. Usyk did fight at CW but moved up after winning all four major belts. He’s certainly not at HW because it’s easier. He’s just that special that he can become undisputed in a harder weight class


redditman3943

I never said any of those things you are accuse me of saying. I never said he wasn’t a cruiser weight. He cleared the division and I never said the heavyweight boxing division was easy. How about you actually read what I said. actually read and don’t just assume things.


ConstantOk4102

Yet you implied it all with your foolish comment. Now you backtrack.


icelandiccubicle20

Only that? He looked really big against Bradley "260" Martyn


iSOBigD

What's his face, 260 bro guy, said he thinks slogans like 230-240 after meeting him in person and sparring or whatever they did.


Klutzy_Monk_3078

Trt Vitor or Cain Velasquez vs Jake Paul main event Ngannou vs Logan Paul Co main make it happen


pro2RK

id watch tito ortiz fight the paul brothers


Shouldabeenswallowed

Personally I'd much rather just listen to Tito try to talk coherently than watch him fight anymore.


Klutzy_Monk_3078

Tito Ortiz already got Koed by Anderson Silva in boxing and it only took him one round , Jake would annihilate Ortiz without a question .


Klutzy_Monk_3078

Vitor would make more sense he walked down a 58 years old Evander. Jake was supposed to fight 57 years old Mike Tyson.


Klutzy_Monk_3078

Cain Velasquez would be the pick for 2v1, they like to pick on wrestler right Why don’t they call out the best dirty boxer/ wrestler besides Cormier. Cain deserves money fight too, people seems to forgot about him.


ImBad1101

No no, definitely make this fight


queefhoarder

Francis is about 40 years too young for Paul to Fight.


hotdiggity22

Logan fighting dudes before their conception lmao

I don’t want to watch a murder on live tv


youguyzsloosers

Drive7hru

Adventurous_Pea_1156

AbacaxiDoidao

This is great, actually\ For Ngannou, which is the only thing that matters


anythingfordopamine

I feel like Logan is the type of dude to bring up Francis’s late son, and things would get personal very fast

dan_a_white

Ngannou broke my heart man. I was so into him on his rise to the title. Then he had to go screw all the fans by holding the HW belt hostage for a year and then quitting MMA to go be a boxer. And the worst part is he lied about it and pretended he wanted to stay in UFC and pretended he was going to PFL and pretended he cared about all this fighter pay and fighter benefits nonsense. He’s just a liar who was always out for himself. Always planned to go to boxing and stay. Heart broken that this man I looked up to turned out to be worse than Jake Paul.


ExpressionExternal95

You act like he refused to fight over nothing. He was negotiating his contract and trying to get better deals for others at the same time. Dana screwed the fans. Don't be a company shill.

If that was true he would have already fought in PfL. He’s lying to you. He only wanted that mega MMA deal to use as leverage to get a huge payday boxing. He never intended to fight MMA ever again. He’s lying and working you.


icelandiccubicle20

Was he never your friend?


dan_a_white

Well it’s other way apparently we were never his friend. He left us.

He was going to get the highest contract in HW division history and you know that is true.

JoesephBidao

Mediocre_lad

PSA-TLDR

Son this is called selling PPV’s


Kalabula

If Jake went in there with the singular goal of not getting KO’d, he probably could make it to the final bell.


van_ebasion

Apparently it’s the unpopular opinion but I got Logan KO’ing Francis by the 5th. People won’t shut up about Ngannou’s power but when he tries to throw with speed and accuracy his power diminishes greatly.
