It’s a monthly happening across many American homes:
Before at least one Saturday night every three to four weeks, fans go on ESPN+‘s website, pay the $69.99 (USD) fee (if they choose to take advantage of the $10 discount for preordering ahead of the Tuesday 3 am ET deadline on fight week) or $79.99 fee (if they buy during fight week) and wait around for Saturday at 10 pm ET to show up on the clock on the wall. Most of the time, it’ll be a perfunctory happening and go off without a hitch.
This past Saturday night, however, it was anything but routine.
