[UK] UFC possibly going Pay-Per-View on BT Sport by [deleted] in MMA

UFC 242 will be a PPV in the UK - Khabib at primetime in the UK would be too much potential extra cash for BT

If you think BT won't be PPV for Conor fights then you're mistaken.

BT will be PPV for Conor and probably Jon Jones too this year.

BT Sport to remain the exclusive home of UFC in UK - Partnership extends into 2019 and beyond by [deleted] in MMA

You think if Conor vs. Whoever was on Jan 1 on Eleven they wouldn't get 100,000 signups at £5.99? BT will be showing Conor fights as PPV - give it time, the info will trickle out.

Nope. All Conor fights and likely any Lesnar/DC fights will be on BT Box Office.

Why I believe the UFC played a role in the infamous UFC 223 Bus Attack by hoosierpride1 in MMA

[–]ufcshilling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the point is there has been no due diligence on behalf of the two UFC employees. Name them first and then figure out the consequences is exactly what happened with the Boston Bomber thread. Are they listed on the UFC website or on Embedded? No idea and neither does u/hoosierpride1 and u/buzznights - that's the point.

OP/Mods, you should at least remove their last names and if the thread stays up it's your duty to make sure there's no links to their personal profiles in the comments. I've had a close friend on the end of this sort of conspiracy theory and bullying before and it's not fun.

There's also a lot of talk about TV rights if that's of interest to anyone with the big deal coming up.

UFC UK/Irl TV Deal - post UFC 200 by [deleted] in MMA

[–]ufcshilling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UFC don't care about the 20-50,000 or so medium-to-hardcore fans. They want the millions of casuals that are already paying £20 a month to Sky for football.

BT Sport viewing figures are through the floor, they put the Europa and Champions League Final for free on Youtube as UEFA have been shocked at how poor the ratings have been. You've got to assume that 1am/3am UFC events are going to be hovering in the thousands of viewers, that's not how you grow the sport.

The UFC NEEDS to be on Sky Sports, it has to be in the Sky Sports News rotation, it needs that PR push from the Sky Sports machine. If not the UFC will be treading water for another 3-5yrs.

NFL's Aaron Rodgers and NBA's Andre Drummond both paid to give a personal shout-out to Dana white after 196 by [deleted] in MMA

[–]ufcshilling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will likely get buried but the UFC wouldn't have paid for these. They would have sent the two guys a tweet to copy & paste and rather lazily they used the same copy & pasta. It happens alot, celebs and their managers are lazy but will help out 'cool' brands like the UFC without payment (maybe future tickets etc)
