UFC Statement on DISH Network

[Morpheushasleftthebuilding]

Due to contractual issues, DISH Network will not be offering UFC 186: Johnson vs. Horiguchi on Pay-Per-View this Saturday.
While all other providers in the U.S. have come to an agreement on renewal terms, DISH Network has elected not to renew its distribution agreement with UFC.
We have enjoyed a strong and productive relationship with DISH over the years, and while we’re disappointed with their decision, we are confident that our fans will be able to enjoy this weekend’s card through several other viewing options that you can read more about by clicking here.

We remain hopeful that an agreement can be reached with DISH in the near future, but remain committed to ensuring that all fans have continued access to UFC events through multiple distribution options.

Luckily for DISH owners, this cards a POS anyway, so it doesn't matter. But can you imagine the shitstorm brewing if this isn't resolved by UFC 187 & UFC 189?

And now word is the Belle Centre has blocked off 1/2 the arena seating because ticket sales were so bad. They should have put this card on FS1.

Mighty Mouse must love loosing 14 million potential buys. This is funny because I watched the entire UFC dark age live on dish network. Crazy now 17 years later you can't watch.
