A settlement has been reached in the UFC streaming technical difficulty class action lawsuit that alleged a technical difficulty with the streaming service caused millions of fans to miss parts of “The Money Fight,” a well-publicized match between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor, that occurred on Aug. 26, 2017.

Lead plaintiffs alleged in their UFC class action lawsuit that they and others who purchased access to view the much hyped fight between the popular UFC stars were interrupted at several points during the match. They said they were most disappointed when the stream cut out during the “knockout” win in the 10th round.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has agreed to pay viewers up to the full purchase price of the pay-per-view service, nearly $100, depending on the amount of time missed. Additionally, viewers who purchased beverages or food to watch the fight will be compensated under the terms of the settlement agreement.

Nearly 6.7 million purchases of the match were made leading up to the fight, alleged the plaintiffs in their UFC class action lawsuit.

UFC admits no liability under the terms of the class action settlement, but has also agreed to pay attorney’s fees of up to $900,000 and an award of $1,500 to each plaintiff.







The deadline to opt out of the UFC class action settlement is June 8, 2018.

UPDATE: On Nov. 11, 2018, Top Class Action viewers started receiving checks in the mail from the UFC Mayweather-McGregor pay-per-view class action settlement worth as much as $99.99.
