Joe Rogan discusses UFC’s new TV deal
“They just announced the UFC just signed some crazy deal with Paramount Plus. There’s going to be no more pay-per-views. All the events are going to be available for everybody for free. Every pay-per-view, every fight card that they have from the Apex, which are my favorite. Yeah. Everything’s going to be available for free. It’s an amazing deal.”
“I think it’s going to explode the sport even. Oh my god. Through the roof. And it’s a super smart move for Paramount. What a great move to not just have the UFC for seven years, but have it for free. Like I don’t think Paramount costs, but what, how much does it cost a month? It’s like eight or 10 bucks, I think.”
“If it’s 10, let’s say it’s 10 bucks. That’s crazy. That’s $120 a year. You could watch every UFC pay-per-view. Two UFC pay-per-views like 140 bucks, right? Isn’t it? Aren’t they like $70? So you get all of them. Everything’s free. That’s incredible.”
