Quote from: Trim on January 09, 2020, 11:10:19 PMSo I saw the bar I frequent is showing the next ufc thing and is going to charge admission to cover how much they had to pay for it on ppv. Then I see it's on espn+, or at least you can get it by paying another $40-50 if you have espn+. So I look it up and I see that while espn+ is now the exclusive way for regular people to buy those ppv's, ufc still sells them to bars at an exorbitant rate.Why wouldn't a bar just plug in whatever you people are using to watch espn+ on your tv's into the tv's at the bar and just pay the $40-50?I want to pitch this in order to get the bar to have espn+ at all times and at least have the option to watch games there.The actual real ufc fights, like the ones they number, you still have to buy ppv, even if you have espn+. In fact I think you have to have espn+ & buy the ppv. The only free fights on espn+ are the ones that would have been on FS1 or ESPN2 before they moved to plus. Unfortunately for me, who likes boxing, they do the same thing for the big boxing matches.

Dish or whatever the bar has is charging some exorbitant rate because it’s a bar. What precludes the bar owner or anyone from having an espn+ sub and only paying $40-50 to get the fight and put it on the bar tv’s that way?
"A bar and restaurant would call up and if their occupancy certificate says it has 100 seats, it would be times 30 dollars," Hand Jr. said. "So, it would be $3,000 to license it."Mayweather vs. McGregor’s $30-per-person price tag is higher than the company’s normal UFC license rates, according to Hand Jr. All UFC licenses include the fight, promotional materials, and a listing in the official venue search.Due to the cost of licenses, screening the fight illegally has some appeal — but bars looking to sidestep the process are flirting with disaster, as distribution companies take a hard-line approach to PPV piracy. For every event Joe Hand Promotions distributes, the company hires investigators across the United States tasked with spotting piracy. If caught, venues face lawsuits under the Federal Communications Act, which allows for up to $100,000 in statutory damages plus legal fees.

Okay, coolI thought King was great. Obviously still getting his feet wet, but about 1000 times more insightful about basketball than most color guys. I hope he doesn't go blander as he develops his broadcasting skills.

He's literally done like 5 games and I don't remember any factual error he made.

I personally like ESPN+ a lot
I wish you could watch it DVR style. I cancelled after the okie light game. I liked some of the stuff but I never watched it outside of Cats football
i tried to watch the game tonight, but it wasn't on in california.
Joke's on me, I didn't even know we had a game last night and I'm still paying for ESPN+
