Like if you want to watch The Rock Versus Stone Cold Steve Austin in 2018, you would have to pay 200 bucks to see that match. It would be a pay per match event instead of a pay per view event.

As for PG or TV-14, I think FOX would be looking for an edgier product to capture the demographic that they would have missed out on on with UFC. So, I think TV-14 has better chances than some might think.

Except there was nothing in the article alluding to that at all.
It's public knowledge that Fox wants the tv rights to the WWE, there were even Fox exec's sitting front row at SD 2 months ago. UFC wants too much money and Fox could actually make more with the WWE license.

If anything, the bright side of this is it will force them to get creative again and actually try to put on a consistently good product. If they get put in primetime on big FOX, they'll be competing with real shows on the other networks.

I'm sure it'll still be on Mondays and it is going to be on Fox while SD would go to FS1.

Fox would also get 52 weeks of original material which is huge for network tv, especially in the summer time. Plus it would help promote FS1 and get people to find out there is an FS1. USA gonna be absolutely fukked if they leave for another network.
