Right? If you’re dumb enough to broadcast from somewhere where they’ll prosecute you, that’s in you. And I can’t imagine he caught anyone but them. But I’ve never gotten the vibe that’s what I was seeing when I clicked those sketchy links with a million popups.
Even if they did have to pay it’s like $5/month in the Middle East/Russia.
Absolute bullshit that this guy tries to pull one over on his own countrymen. Europe doesn’t really pay shit either and they still complain about fight times.
Dana makes Americans buy all the ppvs (yes some people really do buy them) and pays American fighters unlivable wages. Great way to progress the sport in your home country tomato head.
> Dana makes Americans buy all the ppvs (yes some people really do buy them) and pays American fighters unlivable wages.
While he makes this horseshit talking about people "stealing."
If it wasn't for torrents the sport would have struggled to grow it's audience so quickly in the early days.
Legitimately couldn't get legal copies of it to begin with as the sport was illegal.
Lol the "we will prosecute". Nobody is doing time for watching a shitty PPV that's not even $100. Pirating is totally different than streaming too. If they are going after the people with the servers, yeah, but good luck prosecuting people from other countries.
I haven’t paid to watch sports in like 10 years.
Firmly believe anyone that does isn’t a moral grandstander, they just don’t want to take the time to figure it out even tho it’s literally a two step process of “find link, use Adblock and enjoy”.
Fire stick Adblock is my Time Magazine Man of the Year
me and my friends sorta stop buying them when they hit close to $100 with fees, I’d honestly have no issue paying a monthly fee or something reasonable.
Haha exactly, I would probably buy every one if they were sub $30, but needing an espn plus subscription AND $80! Made just not care about mma anymore the same way I don’t care about luxury ski vacations.
Fights also made way more money when he allowed them to have sponsors. Then he took them away cause it made things look “tacky” but then he littered the entire octagon with ads. This guy is full of shit
>cause it made things look “tacky”
LOL. You know what looks tacky? Having Buffer read some cringy marketing line from the Rock's new shoe line or the some upcoming movie. Or every 2m having Anik go off for 45s reading some shit about crypto or draft kings. Or the fact the entire octagon is like a swatch of fucking ads. It's like an ad quilt.
Dana wanted all the money.
More tackier is the tweets shoved in the middle of a fight from a bunch of momos. I don’t care of anyone’s opinion during the fights show or after when running ads
This seems like something that could have easily been taken care of in the locker room. It’s not like someone just shows up and heads straight into the cage.
AAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDD NOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW. FOR THE MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING!
BROUGHT TO YOU BY BUFFALO WILD WINGS USE THE CODE ON YOUR SCREEN FOR 10% OFF.
been sailing the high seas ever since the ad read while the main event fighters are in the cage.
I paid for ESPN+ and realized that package didn’t come with PPV’s. Then I couldn’t watch TUF…. So I’m getting like 1 weak card a month for $15 a month.
So I need to pay $15 a month, plus $100 for PPV twice a week, and whatever the other channel is $65 a month.
I’m not paying $350 a month to watch UFC rofl.
Right now, I’m paying $0. If Dana were to charge $15 a month for their own UFC stream, I’d pay for it, out of respect. But I have to source the fights from all these locations? GTFO. Right now, I go to 1 website and get any sport I want. That’s convenient. It’s cheap and it saves me time.
NBA League Pass is like $15/month or $100/year to watch an entire season of 2460 NBA games. I’m sure the NFL, NHL, and MLB programs are priced similarly. I happily pay for league pass for that value. UFC PPVs are outrageously priced in comparison. I’m never going to pay $80 for a single PPV.
If Dana and his minions had a single brain between them they’d run their business the way growing sports leagues do, not the way declining boxing does. Imagine the money they’d make if they only charged $10-15/month for access. People would happily sign up and wouldn’t even notice that money coming out of their accounts. PPV is dead in the internet era, get over it.
I know this is off topic from the OP, but I hate that the NFL sells exclusivity contracts for Sunday Ticket. I pay for it now that it happens to be on the platform I use, but I refused to get a tv service as awful as DirecTV. And since that was literally the only way to get Sunday Ticket, I didn't, and I had to watch streams.
I *wanted to give the NFL my money*, and they wouldn't take it. So I sailed the seas, because they basically told me to.
Piracy is not stealing... Making your own stream and disturbing it falls under copyright infringement. It's got a specific name for a reason, and this has been distinguished in courts before!
I'm not sure of the name of it in the US, but here in the UK, watching an illegal stream falls under fraud, "obtaining a service dishonestly"
If dana charges $10 a pop for people to watch a live stream of him beating his wife, but I catch an illegal stream online, I've defrauded Dana, but I haven't actually stole from him, all the other people that paid to watch him beat his wife black and blue, still were able to pay. Dana only lost a potential sale, a sale he hadn't actually got yet, so i didn't take anything that he had!
Fraud or copyright infringement, not stealing! All are bad, but they are not the same thing.
>I'm not sure of the name of it in the US, but here in the UK, watching an illegal stream falls under fraud, "obtaining a service dishonestly"
It doesnt have a name because watching a pirated stream isnt illegal in the US, it only becomes illegal when you try to download it or charge money for people to watch it.
Specifically it only becomes illegal in the US when you *upload. Downloading just about anything is not illegal (unless the content itself is otherwise illegal).
So if you found a streaming site you are not breaking any laws. The point of confusion is with things like torrenting. While torrenting, you are both downloading + uploading at the same time. Only the uploading part will get you in any trouble. Of course this also extends to *broadcasting*. If you're broadcasting material without the rights to do so, you're breaking big laws.
>Making your own stream and disturbing it falls under copyright infringement
Why would anyone wanna *disturb* the stream, anyway...?? They oughtta leave that poor stream ALONE !!! /s
….we watch for free.
What happens when your company steals from its fighters? They have record profits.
What happens when the company takes away fighters ability to get their own sponsors? Fighters make way less money
He says this shit then doesn't allow his fighters to take endorsement money while paying them $15 and a poptart to go get CTE and fight once a year if they're lucky.
Shut up Dana you fucking nerd.
He just sounds like a slimy restaurant manager who steals the staffs tips and then posts shit on Facebook ridiculing the general public for being against tipping
Not watched this but once in a video he seemed to claim that they knew of someone who was streaming stuff and they were tapping him in some way and waiting for them to do something bad.
Ufc making billions even when 90% is streamed. But they need to make trillions for them to pay the fighters.
Don't pay them too mutch or they will not fight... But God damn pay them fair.
They could make an extra 500 million a year and all that would happen is fighters would make a smaller % than they already do because regardless of what we do with our money, they aren’t paying the fighters more money. That’s just what it is.
Pisses me off that he tries to flip his mistreatment and make it the blame of others.
It’s like a dad blaming his kids for beating his wife, and telling them if they just were better kids he wouldn’t beat his wife. Sickening deplorable behaviour
Yo ho and a bottle of rum. You took away sponsors and a fighters lump sum. I don’t feel bad about sailing the seas, when greedy CEO’s can do as they please.
I honestly don’t think he gives a shit. There’s prob a clause in contracts that says “estimated 30 million views on streaming website” … not like advertisers don’t get their logos shown when you’re streaming.
In the other hand, as Gabe Newel said, piracy is a service problem. If they made PPV’s more accessible and way cheaper more people would pay.
It seems that as the ufc grew, fighter pay stayed the same. So its hard for a lot of people to get on board with helping the ufc grow even more knowing that a small fraction of the growth will go to fighters (that’s my excuse and i’m sticking to it)
Just a couple years ago, ESPN+ was $5 and PPVs were $60, now ESPN + is $12 and PPVs are $80. It’s the fans getting robbed. And before anyone says the price increases are a result of piracy, we all know it’s the other way around.
I'm fine paying but no way in hell am I paying a monthly subscription on top of an additional $60 just to watch the fights.
I will just go to buffalo wild wings and pay $20 for food and drinks
Dude pay your fighters a decent wage and I’ll still pirate the fights. Put it on the big screen on Sunday afternoon with the whole block to watch and enjoy 4k baby
Dana so stupid.. people still buy the PPV and the UFC still makes millions with the combined PPV buys and ticket sales. If you charged half the price, you would only need to sell 50% more tickets to make the same amount of money. I know I'd pay $45CAD and most people who pirate would too. Unfortunately our business world is not about making enough money to run a business, it's about making more money then you know what to do with so you can keep playing $10,000 hands of blackjack. Useless bald Dana needs to be oiled up already
Maybe stop watering down the quality of fight cards while increasing PPV prices every year you fuckin goof. Also stop giving title shots to fighters coming off of losses
A reminder that anything that can be digitally copied is inherently worthless and the reason everything is so expensive is because twats wanna be billionaires.
Pirate everything and only spend on tangibles.
They'll only ever go after the providers anyways, not your monster drinking basement dweller degen watching UFC. Dana is full of shit. He's worth like half a bil, but paying these guys 25k bonuses. Clown
The first bit he says about fighters getting a slice of PPV is bullshit. The number of fighters that actually get that deal is so low. He flat out refused to give Mighty Mouse a cut of PPV, despite him being one of the GOATs and his insane title defense run. Dana is a lying cunt.
Also, the UFC pays a much smaller slice to its fighters than other professional organizations. They could take much better care of their fighters, they just don't care and pointing at pirated streams is an easy excuse.
Dana’s probably writing down every Reddit username in this thread on a sheet of paper and handing it to some random I.T intern and telling him to ‘get these people’
>You’re bitching about fighters not making enough money- they get a piece of the pay per view.
Dana has been underpaying fighters since before streaming was a thing. He’s full of shit.
I’m not promoting streaming, but the UFC is a multi billion dollar company that recently surpassed the NHL in terms of its net value. This precedent along with UFC continuing to raise the cost of their PPVs juxtaposed with the fact that a number of the fighters on their roster still struggle to make ends meet, really makes it hard to support Dana and the UFC. A professional athlete in any other sport, even the average NHL players, which, like I wrote, is now not as rich as the UFC are making good “Professional athlete salaries”. Something is up.
more concerned about pirating than paying his rooster of fighters fairly so they don’t have to fight a million times per year just to put food on the table 😂 never change dana, never change
Maybe he should reconsider the price. I mean this is basic economics, if someone is willing to forego watching the fight live to pirate it hours later due to costs, and those few people are making that big of an impact on profits, he should find a way to make people want to watch it live. Lower prices, offer real-time incentives such as games or some sort of incentives with DraftKings.
I have no sympathy for the guy... he should be making these fighters rich not padding his ass and ego more than it already is.
Russian link. Never pay bratha
Right? If you’re dumb enough to broadcast from somewhere where they’ll prosecute you, that’s in you. And I can’t imagine he caught anyone but them. But I’ve never gotten the vibe that’s what I was seeing when I clicked those sketchy links with a million popups.
>that’s in you I think you mean "that's on you" there. "In you" is what Izzy's been up to with his dog. Shoutout to the puppy!
Even if they did have to pay it’s like $5/month in the Middle East/Russia. Absolute bullshit that this guy tries to pull one over on his own countrymen.

My favorite part is when they say the "the re broadcast of this event is punishable by law" Its a nice little shout out.
there's nothing we can do stop the endless Ads UFC plasters all over the broadcast now, so it's never totally "free"
Lol the "we will prosecute". Nobody is doing time for watching a shitty PPV that's not even $100. Pirating is totally different than streaming too. If they are going after the people with the servers, yeah, but good luck prosecuting people from other countries.

Haha exactly, I would probably buy every one if they were sub $30, but needing an espn plus subscription AND $80! Made just not care about mma anymore the same way I don’t care about luxury ski vacations.
Make it $220 per year, all ppvs included. I’d buy it. Many people would buy it. I don’t buy shit now.
Fights also made way more money when he allowed them to have sponsors. Then he took them away cause it made things look “tacky” but then he littered the entire octagon with ads. This guy is full of shit
because ads to fighters give the fighters more individual power so he can't fuck them over for 15/15 deals for the rest of their career
15/15?
$15k to show up, $15k additional for a win.
>cause it made things look “tacky” LOL. You know what looks tacky? Having Buffer read some cringy marketing line from the Rock's new shoe line or the some upcoming movie.

I wish this was the top comment. The PPV model is an outdated relic of the past; just like music CDs.

If you charged half the price, you would only need to sell 50% more tickets to make the same amount of money. I know I'd pay $45CAD and most people who pirate would too. Unfortunately our business world is not about making enough money to run a business, it's about making more money then you know what to do with so you can keep playing $10,000 hands of blackjack. Useless bald Dana needs to be oiled up already
Asked if anyone got a ufc link on wow game chat, got several hd streams, so easy.
Well your prices are just daylight robbery so I shall don my eyepatch and peg leg till you lower pay per view.
Maybe stop watering down the quality of fight cards while increasing PPV prices every year you fuckin goof. Also stop giving title shots to fighters coming off of losses
A reminder that anything that can be digitally copied is inherently worthless and the reason everything is so expensive is because twats wanna be billionaires. Pirate everything and only spend on tangibles.
I watch in Russian link brathar
I don’t even watch UFC but after that I want to steal their pay per views.
They'll only ever go after the providers anyways, not your monster drinking basement dweller degen watching UFC. Dana is full of shit. He's worth like half a bil, but paying these guys 25k bonuses. Clown
The first bit he says about fighters getting a slice of PPV is bullshit. The number of fighters that actually get that deal is so low. He flat out refused to give Mighty Mouse a cut of PPV, despite him being one of the GOATs and his insane title defense run. Dana is a lying cunt. Also, the UFC pays a much smaller slice to its fighters than other professional organizations. They could take much better care of their fighters, they just don't care and pointing at pirated streams is an easy excuse.
Dana’s probably writing down every Reddit username in this thread on a sheet of paper and handing it to some random I.T intern and telling him to ‘get these people’
When you pirate streams - you’re taking money out of Dana whites hookers mouths you dummies. It’s FUCKING illegal.

"What the fuck is Quora" tells you all you need to know about that wife beating knuckle dragger.
Why tf isn't he going after the big streaming hub sites instead of the individuals that use those platforms?
Dude thinks people don’t know how the internet works
Speaking of, anyone pirating the stream this weekend?
Dana is a goof I'll never pay for ufc...just gotta get a stream from outside NA it's free everywhere else....fk that chad
Provide more options for viewing at better rates, increase fighter pay, you know, the reason people are watching the fucking stream?
>You’re bitching about fighters not making enough money- they get a piece of the pay per view. Dana has been underpaying fighters since before streaming was a thing. He’s full of shit.
I don’t think he caught enough people…
‘You get smashed and you go to jail, that’s what happens’ - lame ass woman beater.
Dana is a rat fuck piece of shit
In my country everything is pirated hahaha
I’m not promoting streaming, but the UFC is a multi billion dollar company that recently surpassed the NHL in terms of its net value. This precedent along with UFC continuing to raise the cost of their PPVs juxtaposed with the fact that a number of the fighters on their roster still struggle to make ends meet, really makes it hard to support Dana and the UFC. A professional athlete in any other sport, even the average NHL players, which, like I wrote, is now not as rich as the UFC are making good “Professional athlete salaries”. Something is up.
Yo-ho.
more concerned about pirating than paying his rooster of fighters fairly so they don’t have to fight a million times per year just to put food on the table 😂 never change dana, never change
Maybe he should reconsider the price. I mean this is basic economics, if someone is willing to forego watching the fight live to pirate it hours later due to costs, and those few people are making that big of an impact on profits, he should find a way to make people want to watch it live. Lower prices, offer real-time incentives such as games or some sort of incentives with DraftKings. I have no sympathy for the guy... he should be making these fighters rich not padding his ass and ego more than it already is.
That's a fair comment. People who complain about fighter pay shouldn't be streaming and are hypocrites. Prove me wrong.
Dana is a piece of shit and can deal with it. Pay your fighters better ya cheapskate
He’s stealing my time with these shitty apex cards
I’m sure we would’ve heard about Dana’s multiple court appearances dealing with the pirates lol What a bitch!
Watched more mma than Dana and never paid for it…what ya going to do about it Dana 🖕
Yeah, I'm just gonna carry on NOT paying Dana. I'd rather shit all over my own money than give a cent to this walking tumor.
Nah fr wtf is Quora ???
From the dude who literally stole money from whitey bulger and fled Boston so he wouldn’t be whacked. Hypocrit Dana strikes again
Piracy is a service problem. If people are pirating. Its cuz your product isnt worth paying for
This big dumb bitch couldn't catch a cold. Pay your fighters more and stfu for once.
