UPDATE: MMA Payout received an email from DirecTV this morning regarding its cancellation of carrying the Shine PPV. A spokesman for DirecTV emailed the following:
We pulled it off the schedule given the possibility that the event may be cancelled based on the last-minute venue change. Those who may have already been charged for the event will receive a credit on their bill.
It would be interesting to have seen the number of PPV buys prior to the announcement. Obviously changing venue at the last minute played a part in DirecTV’s decision. From the perspective of DirecTV, it did not want to be in a position to issue credits to its customers or disappoint them if they were to purchase a PPV that all of a sudden did not occur.
