UFC 83 Broadcast on Yahoo! Sports

I have been thinking about getting the Serra vs St-Pierre UFC 83 fight. My interest in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) started with the reeeeaally amature fights on HDNet Fights. Then I graduated to EliteXC thanks to Kimbo Slice. Now I am ready for the big time UFC 83 Serra vs St-Pierre!

Well, while perusing my Fantasy Baseball team I saw an ad for the event to be broadcast over the internet on Yahoo! Sports for $45. It is a pretty bold move considering I can order it in HD on a 52 inch screen for 10 bucks more. The technology is still evolving rapidly, but the viewing habits of people are slow to change. I would love to see the number of viewers and what type of demographics are ordering it (ie. people without TV!)
