Media 2024: UFC continues monstrous growth in fans and massive profits

[volcom5]

Here we go again…

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

I find it hard to believe that its because the actual audience is growing.

 

[PaulieVegas27]

Given they're making so money, maybe they will start paying their fighters a fair and decent wage.

HAHAHAHAHA, okay that was a good one, I even managed to crack myself up!

 

[Koya]

Okay but why would they? They are clearly doing just fine under their business model, you asking a business to give up more profits for no reason?

And hence, the ones with no soul started to talk

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

End of the year of 2024 for UFC.

The next event will be in 2025.

UFC has experienced an insane growth in key demographic of fans of young men.

let us toast to the growth of UFC; may 2025 gain the organization even more fans and worldwide growth.

They've raised ticket prices considerably. People are still paying the prices so profits keep going up. There are other revenue sources but I think the ticket prices are worth mentioning.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Huh surely this means they can afford to pay more than 16% of their profits out to fighters, right?

no that's not what that means

They always have paid much more than 16% of their PROFITS to fighters.

Depending on how you figure it, it's between 35% and 53%

 

[suizuri]

according to anti-wmma "experts", putting wmma in cards will eventually kill the business. lol.

UFC dying confirmed.

If only they paid fighters as well as Bellator, PFL, Strike Force, Affliction, EliteXC, YAMMA...then UFC would finally compete with the other orgs.

But, But But,,, Sherdog been say'in UFC was DYEING BRA!!!!!!!

And there's a very good reason people use revenue and not profits when talking about what they pay people for work

 

[JBJ was here]

More wholesome 12/12K contracts will be handed out to DWCS contestants. Everyone is happy.

After paying coaches, training partners, and health insurance for a full camp, what's left of 12/12?

Trick question: you don't get coaches, training partners, health insurance, or a full camp for 12/12. You get gym membership and Medicaid.

Time for 30/30 minimum contracts.

 

[JoeRowe]

Doubt it's true, Sherdoggers told me UFC is dying

 

[BigSexy444]

Thank you Dana.

[Kevin Sorbo]

Your commitment to this gimmick is commendable.

I find it to be incredibly pathetic. Just look at how much time he spends on here keeping up this gimmick. The dude must have zero life outside of this forum.

UFC is dying confirmed

 

[Brigfa2]

Compared to 2-3 years ago, UFC is huge in non western countries now

 

[TRYHARD 2001]

Huh surely this means they can afford to pay more than 16% of their profits out to fighters, right?

Well, technically if they even just kept it at 16% a greater amount of money would be going to the fighters. But they probably won't.

But they could.
