How about actually buying the PPV and not being cheap?

Go to a bar and watch it if you are too cheap to pay for the PPV yourself.

Streaming video sucks ass. Plus you should pay for it; the fighters won’t have decent pay until cheap asses start paying to watch them entertain.

The big difference is I wanna watch it live though and only Setanta have provided that. For me that is much more important than any interviews that I could watch later anyway. Its all about the fights and seeing them as it happens.

This is real shitty news. I had no idea they were doing this badly. I hope Sky dont get it but I guess its better than noone at all.

P.S F*CK Rupert Murdoch!

“(they’ve missed out fights and interviews).”

what fights? they miss the odd interview because of adverts…to pay for people like you who dont pay for the channel!

“I’ve been annoyed by all of the coverage on Setanta as not once have I seen the UFC mentioned in these articles, so I’ve been left out of the loop. Apparently viewers of PGA golf are more important than MMA fans.”

Do you just like to moan? Golf is much for popular than MMA, like it or not! In fact, its so popular and important (to Setanta) they have their own golfing channel! I’m in no way (even in the slightest bit) surprized Setanta have commented on golf because its a major part of their tv package.

good luck to that prick im glad to seethe back of him with his crying and rolling around all the time,keep tevez

£80 million for any player, no matter how good, is sickening. Real have gone back to their old galactico ways and I don’t see this doing any good for football. Considering we are in a global economic recession, spending £135 million on a couple of football players is sickening and is making me feel even more disillusioned with the sport.

i would not be adverse to the idea of the ufc going to sky sports and maybe tuf going to sky sports one. financially it would seem more lucrative to zuffa and it would also open the door to new fans or people who don’t subscribe to setanta (only 1.2 million homes in the uk have setanta)

Watching UFC at a bar at 3am would be pretty sweet but you’re right some American fans don’t understand that the time zone differences prevent us from being able to do the same things that they do.

Hopefully I can find 99 at a bar in Ibiza or Setanta will sort themselves out so I can tape it. Otherwise I’ll have to rely on the Internet when I get back, which is a pity as I was looking forward to this card.

Yes haha. American culture and British culture are TOTALLY different. For example, we do not have a PPV culture here in UK. PPV is worth absolutely nothing unless, for some strange reason, your name is Ricky Hatton.

We do not get Setanta for free. It is roughly £12 a month, that’s £144 a year for something at 3am in the morning. Would like to see some Americans pay that when they say “quit your moaning” (that was not directed at someone above btw, just a lot of Americans say that).

We do not have sports at bars here either, unless it is football or england rugby.

And we have to pay a television fee which is much higher than in America I thought

by the way, I was wondering, in America can you live off benefits? Someone I know said they dont have benefits in America and it seemed strange. In Britain 30% of all people live on benefits for an income (taxpayer’s money)

I don’t want sky to get hold of it, what if they get bored of it or the viewing figures fall like with cage rage?? The lame excuse to get out of that contract was laughable, didn’t a fighter use the f word at like 10 o’clock at night? ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Tune in at three o’clock in the afternoon to the football and you can see any one of those overpaid nancy’s calling the ref all the names under the sun, but that’s acceptable, apparently.

My fear is if Sky get hold of it they start doing PPV’s like they have with all the wrestling shows. They did PPV once with the “brawl at the Albert Hall” show, don’t know how successful that was.

I think it’s a piss take charging us £16 for PPV’s when they’re shown at 3 in the morning. I wuldn’t have a problem if it was prime time at 9 o’clock or whatever. I hope Bravo get it back, for all their faults, they didn’t have the cheek to charge us and you know they’d be in it long term.

Bravo adverts were like p!ss takingly long too.
