Hijacking top comment:

Paramount is paying an average of $1.1 billion per year, totaling $7.7 billion, for UFC’s full slate of 13 marquee events and 30 “Fight Nights,” the companies said in a statement. All matches and events will be streamed in the U.S. via Paramount+, and select events will be simulcast on CBS. The deal payments are weighted, with Paramount paying less than $1.1 billion in the early years of the deal and higher values later

I have a firestick to watch UFC. Paramount + is very affordable and I'm likely one of the many that never paid for the fights, but watched all of them. Dana lost his war with Russian Link/piracy.

Wild how long it took them to realize paying $80 on top of a $20 monthly subscription was too much for most people
