not sure about soccer but UFC fights cost 5 to 10 thousand dollars per fight to show PPV at bars. If there are 100 people at the bar then it comes out to 50-100 dollars per person. Thats almost like buying a ticket to see the fight at the actual arena

That figure would likely be significantly lower is bars didn't pirate

Why do you assume that? I dont see any incentive to lower prices with higher demand.
