The Hollywood Reporter reports: “ESPN has gained WWE’s premium live events, but it is losing a lot of real fights. On Monday, Paramount announced a new seven-year, $7.7 billion deal with UFC (and WWE) parent TKO, making Paramount+ the new streaming home to UFC events in the U.S. — including the MMA giant’s 13 numbered pay-per-views (on top of its 30 “Fight Nights”). Some of the numbered events — formerly pay-per-views — will be simulcast on CBS.”
