A notorious illegal streaming site is mocking UFC president Dana White after he called for the prosecution of piracy sites.
In September, Turki Alalshikh, Saudi boxing’s power broker, said he wanted reduce the price of boxing pay-per-views reduced to $20 to combat piracy, which Dana White has categorically rejected.
In response to Alalshikh’s comments, White disputed that this is the correct way to deal with illegal broadcasts.
“Believe me, we know exactly how to fight piracy,” he said. “I won’t tell you in detail what we do at every event, but we fight piracy very hard, and you saw that a few years ago we started prosecuting people. That’s how you fight piracy. Start prosecuting people for stealing.”
White’s remarks quickly caught the attention of Streameast, one of the biggest names in the illegal streaming world, which outright challenged the UFC boss.
“Come get it then Dana,” Steameast’s X account responded to MMA Junkie’s video where White shared his comments.
Streameast also commented on Turki Alalshikh’s idea of offering $20 boxing pay-per-views, saying: “We wouldn’t have to do what we’re doing if they made these things affordable.”
“We don’t want to have to do what we’re doing. We have to do it,” the site said. added.
The streaming platform also laughed off claims that Dana would come for them in response to ACD MMA.
“He’s been trying for over a decade and we’re more present than we were then. Tell him we said that,” Strameast replied with a picture of a T-shirt and the words “raise fighter pay.”
UFC fighter pay is a hot topic, with influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul frequently urging Dana to pay its fighters more than they currently earn. However, Streameast has blasted allegations that they are doing the fighters no favors by illegally rebroadcasting events.
“There is a difference between free and affordable. It makes sense that Dana White’s net worth is over half a billion dollars, while his employees have to pay for their medical bills out of pocket,” the site said. retaliate to critics. “Let me guess, you think Robin Hood is the bad guy, huh?”
Steameast’s comments come days after several piracy sites were shut down and even encouraged users to pay for content.
Whether Dana White will have the final say on UFC broadcasting remains to be seen, but for now, at least one illegal site is convinced he’s untouchable.
