Showtime issuing Mass Refunds for mgregor PPV debacle?

[rickJen]

I won't trust these tech guys if I were a promoter.
You'll get easily charmed by just hearing them speak hi-tek language.
I just saw one getting high prominence in the ESPN/TR presscon.
He looks like a scam artist with a huge smile from ear to ear.
Arum must have spent millions of borrowed dollars getting bitten by it.
There's really nothing hi-tek about it. Any cheap company can do it.
They should go for the ones that have had experiences in these kinds of crashes.

Right before I bought my theater ticket, I was considering buying it on my SlingTV app. Glad I didn't, I'm sure it would have been a nightmare.

I actually heard good things about SlingTV on sat might be one of the few legal streams that didn't crash for the PPV. lol

Ah, interesting...

I'm not sure if I'll ever buy a PPV again after that awesome theater experience anyway. I just checked and tickets to Canelo vs GGG are only $20 for my local theaters. There's nothing quite like watching boxing on a gigantic screen with surround sound. And I was worried that I would be surrounded by casuals making ****** comments that would upset me but in my area it was only hardcore fans who showed up. They were completely invested in ALL the fights, from Tabiti to Jack and Davis fights.

So im assuming it'll be a while before official ppv numbers come out?

If at all...

Are streaming PPVs even included in the official total? It's not like streaming gets included in TV ratings.

UFC sent the first tweet out saying there were delays and it would be fixed soon when it crashed at 9PM. Hours went by they couldn't fix it then sent this tweet out

Basically told folks who ALREADY bought the PPV from them and couldn't login and watch hey go over to Showtime and buy it a SECOND time from them. And been ducking this shyt since. So part of the problem is the shyt crashed that's on the tech guys but the way they handled it is just terrible telling folks buy it again and then refusing to respond to emails their customer support number has been down. That's on the UFC guys being shady and crooked.

they ****ed up. ufc will eventually buckle too. they are gonna lose a **** load of money by paying refunds but the companys reputation would be absoutely in the gutter if they didnt pay them and probably would hurt them further in the long term. im no legal expert but i'd imagine if u pay for the product and the product is faulty, youd deserve a refund?

You know, once you start giving refunds people will stop blowing your Twitter up every time you post. #refund

You guys knew damn well your severs would not handle the traffic Saturday. I've emailed twice a day since and NO RESPONSE.

literally hundreds more like this and they keep coming every time the UFC tweet out anything they promote. Dana White has shut down and stopped tweeting at all. How long can these idiots keep holding out before their brand is ruined? lol

yeah they will have to cave in eventually. although morally its pretty bad they havent already volunteered to give instant refunds, essentially scamming their loyal fans. not a cheap ppv either.

Lawyer from the class act suit against Showtime just tweeted out taking a victory lap. Calling out UFC and other now. He is already preparing a class act suit for UFC some on twitter posted retainer agreements they were sent to be added to the upcoming class act suit hitting the UFC.

Our #ClassAction lawsuit caused Showtime to issue full refunds. Will SlingTV, UFC, and Sony also do the right thing?https://t.co/DilXox8MzQ
