Tonight, i went to go connect and order a main event pay per view and saw that the UFC 100 was scheduled for 6am monday. The event is on Saturday night in the USA and even with a slight delay would mean the even would be shown at 11am or 12 midday on sunday.
If this is not pay per view, why is it that we see no mention by foxtel that its a fully delayed telecast considering could go to sleep sunday night, wake up monday morning before the scheduled main event begins, check my email and see the ufc, bodog, or other mma related website email showing results. Isnt this a main event ?
Charging main event money for a delayed event, yet not disclosing it is delayed by half a day is deceptive, abiet misleading.
How many other events have Foxtel touted as main event ppv and excuse me but anywhere around the world, ppv is live outside of a short delay for a proper realtime event.
This overall is deceptive conduct, and really is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Australian premieres of shows or events, considering Sanctuary is new yet how new? A search of TV.com shows its way older but we pay that price for many chans of crap verses a few real chans of latest shows.
