pretty obvious that they are doing this because UFC 78 is going to be nearly impossible to sell on its own!

Thats because they know ufc 77/78 card will suck….this is a good way to get the extra money …… plus i know im gonna buy the new years eve one.. i was not gonna buy 77 this makes me think a second time… i may half to take this deal… it would be stupid for me to pass up…but am i pist about the fight cards for 77/78…why save the best for last all the time???… they are smart about the fight package deal…

I looked at this but it doesn’t save you any money. Basically you commit to prepaying for all three and get some freebies. It’s okay if you know your going to watch them all at home.

I probably would do this but I will be in Canada during the month of DEC so I would lose money on this deal.

BINGO! Now they need to make similar deals with Dish Network and all of the major cable providers, and then they might get quarter of a million PPV purchases for this card. Actually, 77 is going to have rather low PPV pruchase totals as well.

I think this is a very lame promotion. The $75 membership is really worthless unless you want to buy tickets early and want a really expensive t-shirt. There is no discount for the 3 fights normally at 39.95 each.

if they really want to give us something, then discount the horrible upcoming cards and start remembering the people that use to go to UFC fights in local towns for 20 to 40 $$$ a seat and kept the company alive for years.

Its going to be hard to sell a package like this when the fightcards arent even offical.

i wish they offered this to brighthouse customers, i’d get it for sure, i’ve always wanted to get that ufc fightclub membership, but never wanted to drop the cash

I pretty disappointed with Directv right now. I missed UFC 76 because they were having technical difficulties in my area and I couldn’t get the fight. All the people I invited over were pissed off at me and Directv didn’t do anything except credit my account for the PPV event (even though my bill was up to date and paid in full). They informed me they do not credit bank accounts for events they can’t deliver, just credit Directv accounts. I hope I don’t have any issues with them in the future or I will cancel my account. I am in favor of the UFC signing with HBO or someone. I definelty would not pay in advance to Directv after my bad experience.

This is NOT much of a deal.

I was excited when I saw there was a package deal on UFC ppvs but where is the savings? I would probably throwdown for a 6-12 month package if there were savings involved much like the Sunday Ticket. But as far as ppv costs go there is no discount and the fight club membership has no value to me. Just hope it doesn’t rain on ppv nights.

so true

i already have a fight club membership doesn’t expire till next year so what would they do add another year onto it. the fight club membership sucks, all i use it for is to get tickets before the public does, the service sucks, they have lied to me before in the past about previous stuff i have bought, ufc 77 and 78 won’t sell out, for 3 fights they should have knocked off at least 10 dollars off per event or something.

WOW, that sucks. If I were invited to your house, at least your buddies woulda got to see 1 fight, me kicking your ass for making me miss the PPV!!!!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding Hobo, I would have probably cried in the corner like Forrest did after the Jardine fight.

I signed up for this because i order every PPV anyway, and you get the free 1 year membership to the UFC Fight Club. I did in intentionally because I wanted to get UFC 78 tickets before they went onsale to the public. Well I’ve called Directv 4 times and spoke to 4 different customer service retards and none of them know how to get signed up for the free membership. I’m so pissed I could smash everyone of them bastards.
