Re: FOX and UFC announce multi year deal
I believe so... They said in the press conference that they weighed the options of having a UFC Network or this deal..and they decided that they weren't up to running a network.

already in the sports section. And per the press conference, Fuse (which is MTV's big competitor and still plays music videos) won't become a full blown ufc network

So is Jay Glazer creaming in his pants right now?
to more free fights. sucks we'll have to endure stupid commercials, but i'm willing to pay that price not to have to pay the ridiculous PPV prices.

no matter how you look at it, we're getting more free fights than we've had in the past. i know they will continue to do PPVs, since that's where the money is.

Re: FOX and UFC announce multi year deal
Interesting move. Anyone remember the last time boxing was shown on network TV?
Not that boxing and UFC are related, I'm just curious how long fights have been off the airwaves.

Re: FOX and UFC announce multi year deal
this might not be good for TNA... if Spike changes their format, wwe would easily buy them
or
if Spike puts the pressure on TNA, TNA will have to deliver to keep them on

Re: FOX and UFC announce multi year deal
I prefer FX to Spike. Ultimate Fighter was the only thing I ever watched on Spike, so I'm cool with this from a convenience standpoint. Also, a big for more free fights.

Re: FOX and UFC announce multi year deal
I hope they don't show many on "Fuel," which is not in HD.
I actually thought Spike was a great fit, but I'll watch it wherever--7-year deal sounds very promising.

Re: FOX and UFC announce multi year deal
Those XC fights on CBS were impossible to watch. Tons of commercials and introductions that were longer than the fights themselves. It didn't surprise me when they started having trouble. I'm sure Fox will keep a similiar format to Spike. Replay old fights, periodic free fights and Ultimate Fighter
