I think the Paramount deal with the UFC is good for viewers because it’s cheaper to subscribe to Paramount than to buy UFC pay-per-view events. However, I don’t think fighters are benefiting from higher pay, at least from what I’ve seen some of them say. Sean Strickland comes to mind off the top of my head.

Do you think the Paramount deal is good for the UFC and its fighters?
 
Normally, the companies will always protect their profit first. It's nice that the subscription is cheaper, but if the fighters do not benefit from it, it would backfire later. Everybody just want to cut cost but the people doing the real work are still suffering.
 
The deal only benefited Dana White the most and not the UFC fighters. Yeah, viewers are very happy with deal because they get to spend less but when fighters are not treated well, it's only going to be a matter of time for them to look for exit from the company.

Hey all. I've been playing mobile poker apps (PPPoker, X-Poker,PokerBros, ClubGG) for a couple of years, mostly in Asian clubs.Built a comparison directory at poker-catalog where I track rakebackrates, club traffic, and agent reliability. Happy to answerquestions about the mobile poker world — it's a niche mosttraditional poker players don't know much about.
