Originally posted by Charlie Sheen View PostNah PPV's won't happen. Outside of massive PPV's like Mayweather/Pacquiao etc the PPV business is dead in the UK/Ireland (I assume they made this a PPV in the UK/Ire?) and will be dead in the US in less than 10 years.
The UFC/Dana White have talked about there being no more PPV's in the future.
WWE looking to move off Sky and have PPV's exclusively on their network.
A cheaper PPV model for UFC fights could make Sky a few quid.

Can't see the UFC having the pull at 3am start times to keep a steady rate of buys especially with some of the piss poor PPV's they've put on in recent years. All of the bandwagon on the McGregor train in Ireland/UK will disappear as quick as they jumped on when he loses and he will at some time. They probably couldn't tell you much about Faber/Frankie if anything at all, nevermind that they're fighting this weekend.
It's a quick boost to the interest in the UFC while McGregor keeps his run going but the interest will drop back to it's original numbers soon enough.

If McGregor is as good as he keeps telling us he is though Sky might at least try. Only Anthony Joshua is coming up for Sky. As you can see from the Froch/Groves buys, promotion pays and McGregor is soon going to be the worlds best self promoter.

Usually go for the same bet and double odds with B365 promo but decided to lock up some free cash instead. Backed Bayern/Draw @ 2/5 pregame and Barca in play 7/4 so I'm guaranteed €20 or €37.50 profit depending on outcome. Do they actually pay out when you gurantee yourself profit? Feel silly for not just playing it safe every time now.

Oh 100% promotion pays even though most fighters still don't grasp it and that they should call out fighters after a win and leave the 'I'm just here to fight and will fight whoever Dana etc put in front of me'. Call out someone ranked above you, have something smart/funny/shit talking in the holster to make yourself stand out and make people care about it.
I'd say some fighters think Conor/Chael etc just come up with what they say on the spot when they've actually spent time working on it.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostFor #PSVDay :
1. Was thinking yesterday of the absurdity of taxpayers subsidising the post office to go around and shove spam through our doors.
2. Registering to vote is fcking ridiculous. You shouldn't have to register. Just turn up with valid state photo id, state your address, and vote. If it turns out aren't really at that address you get in a fcktonne of legal shit. Voter preregistration as it currently exists is designed to prevent voting.
As for "if it turns out aren't really at that address", how much would be spent trying to prove that. What if someone gets elected by 4/5 votes and its found 5/6 people shouldn't have voted in that electoral area. Can you imagine the court case than ensues. We actually have a good electoral system, costs lots but its fair and allows everyone the opportunity to vote if they want to.
#psvday mingers in mini coopers. Shouldn't be allowed. Awful disappointing to look across hoping to see some beaut, only to see some horror looking back. or worse still, some bloke.

Don't think he's ever glassed someone in a nightclub, repeatedly cheated on his wife with hookers, been done for racism or banged a teamate's wife. Could be wrong though."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
