~ 3 Mil illegal views for May-Mac PPV

[Mitchell Kane]

most people that illegally stream are young. They have less disposable income and income overall. I figured the reason they stream is because they can't afford to pay for it.

However, According to you, When you are really interested in watching something you pay full price for it. If you are only interested in watching it a little bit, you illegally stream it.

Does this apply to other sports as well? For example, do the people that illegally stream NFL games do so because they are "not quite interested enough" to pay for direct TV or go to a bar to watch?

I don't know that you can characterize all of them as people who "can't afford to pay".

A lot of them probably just don't want to pay - especially at that price - for something they can find a way to get for free.

Yeah that has been Posted and I don't disagree that a percentage streams illegally and can afford it. I posted I have a fire stick but only watch the fights that are not broadcast in the USA.

What does your own viewing habits have to do with the preposterous claim you made?

I personally streamed the fight. I could have bought it but I didn't want to pay $100 for an exhibition match.

Just realized the illegal streams alone for this fight would be the 3rd highest selling PPV of all time.

Loooooooooooool

[jaded]

No way to stop all the streams, people I know streamed it on Facebook for others to see.

The UFC has been more successful at killing streams than boxing has. Most of the work is done before the night of, I know there was a lot of talk around that streams would be tough to find, so I imagine most people having parties just paid the $100.

I still see 6 million + buys.

Not true. UFC is very easy to stream because it's free in UK for those who have premium cable (like having HBO in US)... BT2 always airs it and there are countless good quality streams of it to be had.

Ok, well if that is the case what issue do you have with me posting it takes money from the boxers pockets?

Why you gotta answer my question w/ a question? I have no issue with you posting it takes money from the boxers pockets, but that's obvious af. How much money, is all speculation.

again, what does your own viewing habits have to do with the preposterous claim you made?

My viewing habits are not driving my reasoning.This isn't complicated. For most that don't pay for it and stream it illegally the primary reason is cost.
