That's not profits, it's revenues and you didn't account for the 50% (until after you were corrected). Thanks for playing.
Talked profits in two separate posts, accounting for the 50% and didn't even take into account the higher bar restaurant rate (after YOU were corrected) or gate/merchandising.
Thanks for playing, it's back to the elementary classroom for you for some reading comprehension and basic arithmetic.

What you aren't accounting for is the difference between a Conor PPV and a Ferguson PPV. No matter what way you slice it 1.5 million buys is creating more net profit for the UFC than a 140,000 buy Tony Ferguson headlined PPV. Your earlier post neglects this as well. Even paying Conor a larger percentage of the pie than Ferguson they still net several times more. Production costs would remain largely stable through both PPVs.
I'll use your numbers here to illuminate this for you. You say they are splitting $35-$40m for a PPV? Well that must be a Conor PPV because nobody else is pulling those kind of numbers (That is quite low as revenue from private purchase PPV alone would put a typical Conor PPV at $90 million even without factoring in closed circuit and streaming). By your count that leaves the UFC with $20-$25million for their end. A Ferguson headlined 140,000 PPV isn't even GROSSING $10 million in PPV money, even including closed circuit, but I will use it. Using your figures that leaves the UFC and Tony to split $5 million. Tony gets a half a million and the UFC pockets $4.5 millon. $4.5 million Ferguson PPV revenue vs. the $20-25 for the Conor PPV (again this is low). It's an easy choice.
