Thats so bad for 2 title fights and the return on Chael Sonnen...I know I didn't buy this card and went to the bar, maybe most people were watching from their local bars instead of home for this one!

Edit - Should mention I bought this PPV, just as I buy every PPV, and paying over $130 some months on a couple of events is way too much. They need to start considering their prices or offer a subscription to the hardcore fans who want to order every PPV.

Not to sound rude but why on earth would anyone pay all that money to watch something that you can see for free? Unless you have money to burn your crazy spending that much a month, i can imagine after paying your cable bill you also go to the cd store and buy music right?

if everyone did what you did, the UFC wouldn't be able to stay in business... and then you wouldn't be able to watch it anymore. therefore maybe you should be thanking all of us for covering the cost of your entertainment.

Stealing cars? jeez man not even gonna respond to that. The ufc bussiness model of ppv won't last forever, the majority of mma do not pay for ppv's a very small percentage do. However id imagine dana whites goal might be to eventually be like other pro sports such as the NFL who are much more profitably without ppv. I think the ufc would still be very profitable even if ppv ended today. I live my life honest but im no fool. Like i said if i had money to waste on ppv i would but im not gonna miss every event because i have other financial priorities.
