Hey thanks for that Gunslinger. That site is great.!

Justin.
Yea man, seems like they know how to sting you when it comes to MMA. I would have thought it would be a good move to make more events/fights free to try and draw in a new audience. Oh well. They sure do know how to make money!

Gonzo.
I have heard about and seen great things with HD Net. Over here we only have 1 PPV provider. I think you guys have a few, I’m not sure. I’m hoping that the Fight Network will get some of Affliction. For the other Affliction event, Fight Network shown the whole first hour free. I missed it though, it was on at 3am same time as UFN. I forgot about Affliction.

The only sport we get on PPV is Boxing. Most of the time it is WWE.

I think we will be getting HD Net, or so I’ve heard.

Do you guys get Cage Rage?

HD Net has the best MMA coverage. I have my DVR record all HD Net fights, and there is something recorded every day. It broadcasted DREAM 1 two weeks later, but DREAM 2-6 live. It shows a lot of Strikeforce fights and many I’ve never heard of. They also have a weekly show hosted by Bas Rutten. Check to see if you can get it on Satellite. There has to be a awy to get the upcoming Affliction PPV. That looks to be awesome.

Ryan,
We have to pay for MMA in some way shape or form, except EliteXC on CBS. You have to pay either a minimum $50 cable bill or $30-$40 (not sure) satellite to get Spike. Most of the UFCs are PPV which are $45 each, that has gotten better and better lately though, in that they are putting more on spike. ShoXC you have to get digital cable which is more than regular mentioned above, or still satellite, then pay extra to get showtime, which is like less than $10. HDNet covers the rest, but you have to pay extra to get it as well, about the same price as showtime. Other than that there are highlight shows on Fox Sports of Pride, and the replays and such on Spike. When the IFL was around you could get that for free over the air (like CBS).

HD.Net isn’t free its in certain satellite packages, yet not every provider carries it soo that kinda sucks and I believe u have to pay extra for it
StrikeForce use to have a half ass highlight show on CBS @ like 3am on saturdays soo if you’re good and drunk (pissed) that was fun to watch
Where I live in California we get PFC (Palace Fighting Championships the original WEC til ZUFFA bought them) on Fridays for free but its like a few months ago
UFC has their highlight show on Spike all the time
PRIDE still ocasionally runs on Fox Bay area
Japanese shows I haven’t found a way to get them even on ppv with my provider but they are on HD.Net (which I don’t have)

Yea man, I think ProElite might have left them. Not sure. Something has lost them a TV deal. The last one I went to wasn’t televised and that was Cage Rage 26 back in May. Freeman vs Cahoon. I just checked the site and their next event doesn’t mention being on TV.

I went to see Shammy get Knocked out. lol I just wanted to say I’ve seen him fight in person, no matter how bad it was. Ross Pointon always gives a great value for money effort on those shows. Shame he doesn’t get TV exposure now. I don’t understand why Paul Kelly is in the UFC when Pointon isn’t. At least he has a go. Kelly was too shy of a punch the other night. I would rather have Pointon representing the UK in the UFC than Kelly.

Now Kellys in for a bashing in here! haha.

Do you guys in America have to pay for all MMA? I mean, even Strikeforce and the Japanese shows? The Fight Network shows BoDog Fight here and its not that old. Just seems like they scrape the barrel when it comes to fighters.

Another company I wanna see is HDNET FIGHTS. Ive heard rumours of us getting that here.

Sucks right! Also UFC ON DEMAND wont let me register becuase of my country! That sucks also!
