We should really consider how much money and time it costs the company to create this business endeavor in the first place. If they don't get a good return on their investment, what's the point? They're not doing it to contribute to the community... that's for sure.
I don't think this is relevant either. If you have as many viewers as the UFC, and as many OTHER sources of income (e.g. ticket sales, ppv television, merchandising, ad buys) then you can create an economy of scale in which its acceptable to make very minimal profits from internet vods.
Compared to Gom's situation, Gom should be charging even more than they are if they want to make profits at a level which will sustain good gaming entertainment and competition for years to come.

that is correct from GOMs perspective but not the consumers. It's GOMs problem that they are not big enough, not the consumers. Theyre competing with real sports here becomes when a student on a budget will be choosing which to go with a UFC event with the buddies or watching grainy starcraft videos alone he will choose the UFC.
Theyre in charge of their marketing, not me.
damn this is so early for me and there wont have vod... I hope someone will record it and put it on youtube![[image loading]](http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab24/0ompaLoompa/NotSureIfSerious.jpg)
