Decided to start a separate thread for this because of all the crap going on in the offseason thread

Now is a good time for those without ESPN+ to sign up.

All of team USA round 1 games are on that.

WAS getting clogged with clown shit...

This format is weird. There are 2 rounds of group play pretty much. I thought usually it is one round of group play then knockout round starts but seems like knockout round doesn't start until QF.

I hate ESPN plus. Why do we have to pay for standard programs. I missed a lot of UFC fights because of this same crap.

At least with ESPN+ the fight cards are now archived. I used to miss a lot especially when they were on FS1 or Fox, but now I can watch them pretty easily.

It is literally $5 lol. I have zero issue with it. I get great programming/shows that I wouldn't see on ESPN anyway. If you're a die hard sports fan then it is great.

@trojanfan12 pin this please until end of tournament.

That's a bonus. Do they archive the PPV too?

I don't like Disney trying to nickle and dime viewers when it isn't necessary. It's not like they aren't making a ton of money anyway.

Sometimes yes. They have a lot of past fight cards, but not every one. They've posted recent PPV's but they don't post them all. But there's generally a good amount of fight content on there to keep you happy for a while. They archive all the prelims and fight cards so there's a ton of stuff to watch.

How's the quality? Do you watch on your computer or do you stream it on your TV like Netflix?

Quality is decent. Like anything depends on your connection. I have pretty poor wireless service in the area where I live, but even then it streams pretty well. So I imagine if you have a strong connection you won't have any issues. I stream it on my television through a firestick.

Streaming platforms are the new way of business, Get with it

I already pay a lot for cable that should provide me with such standard programming. It seems criminal to add to that even at a modest price that Disney is charging.

I have cable too but I also have ESPN+ and Hulu which will soon be Disney+

But most people are going the no cable route.

Also if you know someone with these streaming platforms then you can just ask for their info which is how I currently use Netflix and Amazon Prime.

I agree that it is criminal. They think everyone is rich.

I can't really afford to pay for all these streaming platforms and still keep my cable. Also let's not forget about monthly subscriptions to freaking read newspapers online.

It is out of hand. Just need to choose pick and choose which ones you need and which ones you can live without

 

[trojanfan12]

I get to watch all of that stuff without paying for any of it. My son finds it free. Not sure how he does it. I'm pretty sure I don't want to either. Lol
