I'm saying that for UFC to use that music during a live PPV broadcast, they must first purchase the rights to do so, even if only on that one-time basis, regardless of whether or not it will later be used on DVD's or replays (which it probably won't, since that would only up the price for licensing the rights to use from Metallica).
Please don't argue with me on this, Rob. You don't know what you're talking about.

No they don't, for entrance music you do not pay a dime. Hence why ECW was able to afford doing whatever they wanted. Televised or not, entrance music is an accompaniment. No one pays to use it. The only reason WWE doesn't used licensed stuff is they don't want to pay the distribution rights for their video games, dvds, etc.
