Alright, let’s talk about how I snagged the UFC 304 PPV event. It’s a bit of a journey, so buckle up.
First things first, I had to make sure I had an active ESPN+ subscription. I went ahead and got a standalone plan. Turns out you can also get it through an add-on or the Disney Bundle Trio plan, but the standalone worked for me.
Next, I found out that the UFC 304 was going to be streamed live via PPV on ESPN+. Now, here’s the kicker – it’s priced at $79.99 for active subscribers. And, being a subscriber already cost me an extra $10.99 per month. So, it wasn’t exactly cheap, but hey, it’s UFC, right?
Finding the PPV Event
- Opened the ESPN app on my phone.
- Navigated to the ESPN+ tab. I know there are other ways, but this one is my go to, it is easy and convenient.
- Scrolled through the upcoming events until I spotted UFC 304. It was hard to miss with Edwards vs. Muhammad 2 as the main event.
- Clicked on the event, and it took me straight to the purchase page.
Making the Purchase
Once I was on the purchase page, it was pretty straightforward. I entered my payment details – had to double-check those, you know how it is. Then I hit that confirm button, and boom, I was all set. The confirmation email popped into my inbox almost instantly. The email not only confirmed my successful purchase but also detailed some additional events or matches that would be included in the PPV package.
Waiting for the Event
With the purchase out of the way, all that was left was to wait for the big night. I set a reminder on my phone, grabbed some snacks, and got ready for some epic fights. I also checked the PPV page again for the exact start time to make sure I wouldn’t miss the first match, and I found a feature that allowed me to add the event to my calendar.
Watching the Event
The event night arrived, and I was hyped. I fired up the ESPN app, headed to the ESPN+ tab, and there it was – UFC 304, live and in all its glory. The stream was smooth, the fights were intense, and I definitely got my money’s worth. As for how many people bought it, we will only know once the main event is done and dusted.
So, yeah, that’s how I got my hands on the UFC 304 PPV. It was a bit pricey, but for a die-hard fan like me, it was totally worth it. If you’re thinking about it, just make sure you’ve got that ESPN+ subscription sorted, and you’re good to go. After all, it’s not just the main event – there were some seriously awesome undercard fights too.
Later on, I got my hands on some official figures for the UFC 304 PPV buys. Let me tell you, it was interesting. They also shared some details about the revenue share and fighter bonuses, but that’s a whole other story. And, of course, Belal Muhammad’s name popped up in those discussions, as expected.
There was also some chatter about new users getting a discount. Apparently, if you weren’t already subscribed to ESPN+, you could bundle the UFC 304 PPV with an annual subscription and save about 30%. That would have brought the total to around $134.98. Not a bad deal if you ask me.
Oh, and I stumbled upon this other tidbit – apparently, you can watch Pay-Per-View events two weeks after they happen if you have ESPN+. Plus, they show those frequent fight nights that are usually only on ESPN+. Seems like an affordable way to catch the fights, legally of course.
So, that’s the lowdown on my UFC 304 PPV experience. From subscribing to ESPN+ to the final bell, it was quite the ride. I hope this helps you out if you’re planning to catch a UFC event in the future. Trust me, it’s worth every penny if you’re a true fan!
