I wrote that then deleted it cause I wasn’t sure how you address it internationally. Where PBS is broadcast in the USA, the internet is open to the world.

But, you’re right! It should be publicly funded. I’d have no problem with my tax dollars going towards that.

Internet Archive and Wikipedia are two websites that need to exist in perpetuity.

This SHOULD be illegal in EVERY country.

But the UFC had a deal with and broadcast fights on FOX. That deal ended in 2018, with 31 UFC on FOX broadcasts and then the UFC signed a deal with ESPN.

So it’s been done before. I think the whole exclusive broadcast contracts they sign are what really limit their potential and they’re still trying to sell PPVs instead of bringing in their money through other channels.

The Reebok, now Venom merchandise isn’t gonna move the needle. The NFL sells more than $4 billion in merchandise annually. I’m not saying the UFC can touch that number, just highlighting that there’s money to be made.

If the UFC followed in the steps of another of Endeavor/TKO Holdings property, WWE, they could run 1-2 weekly shows on broadcast television and then hold PPVs a few times per year and throw massive fights on those cards. Get back into individual fighter merchandise, but produced on the corporate level and sell the hell out of it.

They have over 600 fighters across 11 divisions. They’ve got the workforce and monetary backing to make it all happen.

How is it possible for the NFL and other sports to be shown on broadcast television and pay their athletes insane amounts of money but the UFC can’t do the same? Make it free and broadcast it on CBS or FOX. Take your money from the advertising and end the stupid PPV greed

I never understood Twitter and I never want to. It’s like that tube machine at the bank. People bundle up a little sentence then shoot it out into the Twittashphere. Why? I’m with you, screenshot something interesting and leave the rest in the dumpster fire where it belongs
