Title: 2015 Olympia - Livestream This Year Will Be 99 Dollars??? Or Free?
Post by: Vince G, CSN MFT on August 20, 2015, 04:50:49 PM
I've recently heard that Amazon Sports Nutrition now holds the rights to the Olympia broadcast this year.  If that's the case then it will be available if you have an Amazon Prime Subscription.

hopefully someone in the BB community will pay and stream for us!!

Looks like Arnold Classic Europa will have more exposure being free & looks to be more interesting..

This has to be horseshit, there is no way that the Olympia is going to try to have a higher PPV cost than all of the boxing, UFC, wrestling, etc.... events this year. There is no way they'd even break even on the production cost at that cost. And yes, some will say advertising for Amazon will make up for it, but advertising only works if people see it.

So let me get this straight, they think that the only people who even knew the Olympia was broadcast via live webcast the last few years, and are used to being able to watch it for free, will now all of a sudden pay $99 for it? LOL that's gonna flop.

I think Vince is saying you need an Amazon prime account. Which is $99/year.

You mean you don't enjoy the dozens of Indian, Eastern European, and Gay low budget films they've added in the last few months  ;D?

On the upside, I love getting items that are several hundred pounds drop-shipped overnight for free.

Curb your enthusiasm just started this month.  Amazon prime is a great deal.  I spend at least that much on shipping so the streaming is free.  Lots of movies and HBO shows.

Indeed, I hang on to it for bulk stuff too. Once ordered a mattress through it, so it more than pays for itself.

I also have netflix. I actually think Amazon Prime is better than Netflix. More of a variety.

I am VERY excited that I will get to watch the Mr. O. I feel like a kid who walked downstairs and saw christmas presents under the tree.

He probably meant the charge for Prime, Ron.

(but they have free trial, too... or flexonline, like you say)

People have been saying Prime.  If its on FlexOnline, that's great because it was free.  Perhaps the Prime subscription is going to be for replay purposes.
