Just to add to this. The UFC is guaranteed 32.5M for the PPV and they get a cut of any buys over 500k. No one knows what percentage but let’s say it’s as high as 50%.Considering ESPN is only guaranteed to pay the UFC a min of 32.5M for the PPV portion of the event a 50M guarantee doesn’t seem likely.
This means is they sell 2 million PPVs, that will be another 97.4 million generated. At 50% The UFC gets about another 48M for a total of 80.5M.
The numbers don’t work. I can’t see the percentage being as high as 50% either. Anybody else?
