    As for the comparison I would say it's more like Comcast is M-1 and Direct-TV is the UFC.

    Damn, I didn't even know I lost VS until just now. :dunno:


    Seems like a pretty shitty strategy. Make your channel available in as few homes as possible.

    Don't worry there is plenty of boxing on between then and now, seeing as how your such a big fan.

    Is it possible for you to post in the MMA section without crying like a baby?

    You mean you won't be camping that weekend? It seems you're camping every time a big event comes around. :lol:

    Nah, November is a little late for camping around here. Although I did have to miss both Pac-Morales 3 and Hughes\BJ Penn 2 because they were both on the day I got married.

    What this isn't telling you is that 90% of all the networks are raising their renewal costs. ESPN, Disney, CNN, etc. Carriers are having to decide which networks are worth the cost. Obviously, Direct TV didn't think VS was worth it. Comcast raised their rates on E and The Golf Channel and Direct TV accepted those without hesitation. Dish Network dropped ABC for almost a year until their customer base complained ehough and they lost enough customers in the process. Its all business, The NFL just raised Direct TV's costs on the Sunday NFL ticket almost 35%. My friend just got his bill and saw the increase and almost took a shit.

    Greedy motherfuckers. I'm almost getting to the point where I'm seriously contemplating going off the grid like Petre and canceling everything. (I know, I know.........anti-establishment Petre probably has 4000 channels and the biggest TV gold bullion can buy)

    Then I think about all the fights I'll miss and I pussy out.

    $100+ bucks a month to watch TV is ridiculous. :shit:

    I am not crying. Just pointing out that you are on a BOXING forum and never post about boxing. Just blowing MMA or in this case you are crying that you can't watch MMA because you are losing Versus network :atu:

    This is much more than a boxing forum. You should know, you spend enough time in the MMA section begging for attention.

    Why the fuck would you even care what I post about anyway?

    This sucks. I keep Direct TV for the NFL Sunday ticket. But I am a huge WEC fan. Tough luck I guess.
