UFC boss Dana White, Turki Alalshikh offer differing views on battling combat sports piracy

LAS VEGAS – Dana White and business partner Turki Alalshikh appear to have a difference of opinion when it comes to combating illegal streaming of pay-per-view events.

Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority,  argued that decreasing boxing pay-per-view prices will help increase the fanbase and discourage people from pirating events.

Alalshikh said he intends on making the undisputed light heavyweight title bout between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol on Oct. 12 at “£15 for the U.K. and $15 around the world.” Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois is currently priced at 19.95 pounds for U.K. fans.
