how can you charge him, for defending himself with his hands against armed men? with a child in the house as well? even if he killed a guy.

Yeah what Grimm said. I figured I would set it up for 10, and then if we like it we can recreate it, or maybe I can even see if there is a way to extend it.

There are reports the dead guy was outside the house. Regardless, I doubt a jury would convict the guy even if he was charged, considering the circumstances.

You are right. $60 for 6 months and you get all the PPV's included plus the old stuff and some other special programs they are working on. One of them is a reality show with some old guys in it.

$120 a year for all UFC content, including all PPV. That is something I may actually be willing to do and not have to worry about finding a real good HQ stream.

The WWE is hoping to be able to up their TV rights money right now to offset their losses on PPV. If they can do that you may see the UFC do the same though if the WWE can't you won't see the UFC change tactics. Even if the WWE is able to do it the UFC can't till contract time with their Cable/TV providers aka Fox. Fight Pass will remain neutered for the time being.
Directv issued a statement saying they might pull the WWE PPV"s but they won't do it. It's free money for them really. WWE only gets like $25 from a PPV and Directv pockets the rest. It would be very stupid of them to pull the PPV's and piss off their customers too. If they did do it they would push their customer's to other providers which they can't afford to do. It's a major reason why they've held on and paid for NFL Sunday Ticket exclusivity for so long.

It's going to be a profitable model even if television providers don't hop on board, so many more people will sub to this that couldn't afford $50 and $60 ppv's. I think they said they need a million subs for it to bring in a profit which they will get with no problem. Honestly I applaud WWE for the change, they were the company that made ppv a real thing and I'm sure the model was a hard thing for them to transition to. I hope it catches fire.

The UFC has so many PPV events per year now, that I don't see how they can expect fans to pay $50-$60 every time. And I would wager that is why so many people stream the fights. I know when it used to be only a handful PPV events per year I always bought them. It's just with the sheer amount of PPV's they have, coupled with the fact that you just never know when you will get a shitty card, makes it impossible to want to pay for every one. However, a flat rate like that for all year, absolutely.

I know I stream fights because I'm cheap and it's so easy. If you streamed UFC 168 (one of the best cards of the year from a big fight perspective) then you'd probably stream anything.
I think the UFC wants to have an army of lower shows on a huge variety of networks and media and have them all lead up to a handful of big PPVs a year. One thing I've always thought would help the UFC maintain a PPV following is if they had PPV at set times throughout the year. Ex: One PPV a month on the first saturday of the month. That was people can arrange their schedule around it and know when it's going to be.

Neat little article on how much effort goes in to a single fight.

Mostly though it's just an excuse to bring Andy Hug in to the thread, because Andy Hug.

There are some seriously crazy Silva nuthuggers in the world. The article itself isn't all that noteworthy, but reading the comments is fucking hilarious.
