I've never understood how these companies can charge the same amount for a televised PPV as an internet PPV. The quality has always been worse not to mention there are 50 times as many problems reported with internet broadcasts from all media that have done this before. It has to be a small market size. No one that's paying $45 for a TV broadcast would pay $45 for the internet instead. So really your market would be down to people without PPV access that would be willing to pay full price for the product. Agreed completely with oss.

I think this is a good move. The stream should be fine for people with high speed internet..... good luck with your 1440 dial up HA! If you ever watch the videos on Yahoo now the quality is great. I agree the price should be less then on cable but we shall see.... Yeah… I think this is a good move.

I highly doubt this stream will have quality as good as PPV. I guess they're relying on this catering to those who can't buy the PPVs on TV. I can’t believe they’re actually charging the same price.

But leave the 1.99 and such videos at ufc.com So i’m guessing this is going to replace the UFC on Demand PPV events. But leave the 1.99 and such videos at ufc.com
