I doubt he's really bringing in any revenue.So they haven't invested in Chandler yet.
And Overeem hasn't headlined a PPV in ages. My reply was to someone who claimed than Chandler's fight pay requires him to be in a main event (of a PPV) or co-main of a PPV for it to make financial sense for the UFC. This is simply not true.
Although they're definitely not paying him those dollars to have him fight anything but top 5. Wouldn't really make much sense.
He's had some losses, but he's still been a top 5 - championship level fighter for a long time now. The UFC knows this as well.
