I'll still be buying it. I'll watch events with GSP as a headliner simply because he's defending the belt, but I haven't enjoyed his fights in quite a while. I also felt Carlos didn't deserve the title shot and was probably going to be held down for 5 rounds. Condit should have stayed on the card and fought Fitch. Same kind of opponent only bigger but less skilled than GSP, and he would have had the chance to prove that he's the top contender.

Still ordering it. The card is still pretty stacked even without GSP.

So you'll have your cake and eat it too?
Sorry but that kind of thing bothers me.
Part of being wealthy, or well off means you can afford luxuries such as ordering a PPV event. Or going to a concert, etc....
The UFC is aware that people are going to always pass on paying for the fight and trying to pull it off the internet, which goes directly in to how you factor on how much to charge for the product. Do not expect for one second that the loss comes from the UFC or the PPV provider, they are like every other company in the world and pass the loss on to us the regular customer. While price of the UFC ppv went up with popularity, it was oddly enough at the during the boom of the internet downloading craze that we saw a spike in PPV. And is something figured into the value of the product by PPV providers. ----I'll admit that prices are not singularly attributed to online theft, but among multiple factors in to the cost that they reason that most people will accept.
I get being broke, we've all been there. But at least go to a restaurant, they are better than bars because they lack the "tapout" d-bags that think because they get drunk and watch fighting means they know how to do it themselves. The restaurant pays a PPV fee as well. Most likely your looking at atleast 20 dollars in expenses, but not bad for a night out, food, people and fights. You combine to costs into one and it can work out. Those that pull it off the internet are those directly a part of the cost of the PPV that gets passed along to us the consumer, because the provider is sure not going to take it out of their end.
But yes. I'm ordering it. I put enough money back for one ppv a month. Did not get the Edgar/Maynard fight.
Still really want to see Penn and Diaz. That is PPV main event worthy for me.

I didn't suddenly stop liking MMA because a card changed. I was married once and she bitched all the time.

Yeah no problem, the majority of us will all chip in and cover you through higher PPV costs. No problem.
Takes a lot of balls to steal something they're working so hard to protect, but telling everyone on the internet what a thief you are?...that takes huge nads!
You da man

I am in the same boat, I wont be buying 137 anymore.
Still though Penn/Diaz will be one of the best fights this year so no way I will miss this event, I just wont pay for it.

In your effort to insult St Pierre, you managed to tell us that you don't consider a card worth paying for unless he's on it. That's brilliant.
Did you think that up by yourself? Epic fail troll job failed epically.
Then you openly brag that you're one of those cheap stealing fucks who keeps driving PPV prices up for the rest of us.
There's a name for people like you but we're not allowed to use if on the forums. Let's just say it sounds a lot like brasspole.

I'm buying for the Nick Diaz fight.
The card is stacked and should be very entertaining. I think the last card I bought was 110 or 111 !!! This one is a must buy with or without the GSP match.

Wait a minute...I AM BLAMING THE THIEF.
My retraction was saying that you condone thievery, I didn't know that at the time. I could be changing my mind as we speak.
Anyone who wants to steal anything should have enough brains to keep that info to themselves. If you're ok with people stealing UFC cards and don't thin it effects what you pay (if you do) that's your opinion. I think it contributes to higher prices by a LONG shot. Zuffa spends big dollars trying to keep their produce under their control, and that cost is paid for directly from gates and PPV's, as is everything, including fighters.
It's probably not a good thing to throw your support behind.
