Yearly Pass for UFC PPV's

[VanCitySportsGuy]

This is something I'm wondering if Zuffa would consider. I'm talking about paying a flat price and having access to all the PPV's for the year (the total price would be discounted when compared to buying all the cards individually).

UFC PPV's aren't cheap. It costs almost $70 for me to buy the HD version. By having a year pass, this would be a cheaper option for the people that buy every PPV and watch at home and Zuffa would make money by getting large chunks of money locked in.

Great idea but the only way this would work for Zuffa is by only giving a 10-20% discount and I dont think thats a good enough discount for most. A years worth of PPV is a little bit over a grand. Most people arent going to pay 700-800 bucks a year in one payment for a years worth of PPVs.

Yeah I agree the discount probably wouldn't be enough for most people. Zuffa could just make the people pay in large installemants 3 or 4 times a year and collect the interest.

I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that want to watch every PPV but can't afford to. Even if you don't order the PPV's at home, it can still be very expensive to watch at a bar once you include drinks/food.

What cable or dish company do you have that your paying $70 a PPV? I pay $55 on directv.

Your idea is a great idea. Maybe something like they do with the NFL or MLB packages on Directv. You can make 4 payments on it. That would be sweet.

I'm with Shaw. They charge more for the HD broadcast ($59.99 plus tax which comes out to over $67 here).

Re: Yearly Pass for UFC PPV's

I can tell you that on Joe Rogan's forum people have been talking about stuff like this - like a monthly fee or something to access fights live online as well as old fights and what not.

I can also tell you Joe's said he'll talk to the owners about some concerns people have brought up.

Doubt anything will happen - but thought I'd mention it.

Re: Yearly Pass for UFC PPV's

It would have to come with more than just that to make it worth it I think. Like being able to DL fights in high quality afterwards,first shot at tix,making sure the replays are available too in case you miss a show,free copy of the game or free DLC maybe and that sort of thing.

20% discount and just divide it up over 4 monthly installments.

I'm in Canada so Direct TV isn't available here.

I did find out you buy a stream of the PPV's at UFC.com for $45. You can watch anytime again for a 24hr period. I wouldn't pay this type of money to watch it on a PC/Laptop and not knowing if it's going to be a smooth video feed.
