The UFC and Fathom Events are teaming up once again to show UFC’s PPVs in movie theaters. A joint press release announced that UFC 181 will be the latest to be shown in theaters with additional PPV events in 2015 to be jointly shown via PPV and also in nearly 500 select movie theaters across the U.S.
UFC 182: Jones vs. Cormier, UFC 183: Silva vs. Diaz and UFC 184: Weidman vs. Belfort will also appear in local theaters. The latest PPVs to movie theaters were announced at the UFC’s #TheTimeisNow launch.
It appears that the move, which restarted with UFC 180, will be a constant throughout the first two months of 2015.
Payout Perspective:
Here, there are at least 6 movie theaters within the Seattle area that will be showing it. Tickets are $15. The latest move appears to be a way for eyes to see its events and also an attempt to garner some additional revenue from sagging PPV buy rates. Based on the latest S&P move to downgrade Zuffa’s outlook to negative, it looks like the UFC is trying to turn around its financial outlook any way it can in the first quarter of 2015 to avoid another credit downgrade. It would seem that putting the PPVs in theaters siphons away potential PPV buyers. Then again, with the downward trend in UFC PPVs, this is an option for fans on the fence of buying an event.
I was watching yesterday’s episode of the MMA Beat and one of the journalist was saying that he went into a theatre to watch UFC 180. He was late so he was afraid there’d be no seats left and as he got in there was only ONE person sitting in theatre! By the time the main event had started, two more joined in so that four people were sitting in the room!
That’s crazy!
More empty theaters?

$15.00 a ticket isnt bad. Mayweather fights in the theater are actually about $25.00. and they sell well. UFC ripped this marketing idea off of Boxing as well as having traveling press conferences. dana said he was impressed with the Mayweather vs canelo travelling press conferences. yet meathead Donna White says Boxing needs to follow MMA’s marketing lead.
