Would have had to be negotiated in when the contract was first written up his manager fucked him. I don't thin UFC just "adds" to contracts he's screwed until next time.

Yeah, „add“ means basicslly negotiating a new contract.

I don’t know his PPV numbers off hand, but I think he deserves it. But I think that model is dead save for the TOP guys. The UFC does get an undisclosed percentage of any PPVs sold above 500k, but they’re not trying to share that with every champ. All this complaining about fighter pay escalated after the ESPN deal because WME got even tighter with the money. It sucks for the fighters which is why the UFC shilling on Sherdog annoys the piss out of me.

The thing is, my perception as someone outside of the US is that the PPV model as a whole is dying a slow death. Of course there are still attractions that will sell, but with the entire entertainment-industry switching over to streaming and their own subsctiption-based models I dont know how much Fig could squeeze out of these PPV points. I wouldn‘t be surprised if within the next decade fighters and champs will put pressure on the UFC to get percentages of these streams or atleast a percentage of the number of viewers during their fight. Not a union-type thing, more individual. If PPV really is going to die out, the UFC will likely be forced to make that switch. I dont know though so maybe you can tell me if its really trending that way.

This is worse than Cowboy fighting Conor under his regular contract. Who manages some of these guys.

The UFC also put The Post in touch with Cerrone’s manager, Josh Jones, vice president of sports marketing and entertainment firm KHI Management, who said Cerrone “got compensated tremendously. Multiple times more than $200,000, a lot more than $200,000.”​

Deja vu all over again.

DJ defended his title 11 times before getting PPV points.

MM:
“I’ve talked to fighters in the past who’ve had pay-per-view points, and they’ll fight on pay-per-view, and they won’t reach their goal, so they won’t get the pay-per-view points. I know I’m not a big name like Anderson Silva or GSP. That’s why there are only a few guys that have that kind of thing.

I’d rather take the money up front than wager a bet.

You’ve got to think, like, I come from a job where I used to make $10.76 an hour, and I would only net out, like, $20,000 a year or maybe $18,000 a year. For me, I fight to take care of my family and be secure and to live. I’m only 27 years old, so I’ve still got a lot more years to climb the ladder.”​

Champs get the choice. High Base pay and no PPV points or Lower Base pay and PPV Points. Obviously he is trying to double dip. He picked the high bonus pay and 2 fights in he wants PPV on top of it.

And he absolutely deserves every penny.

Figgy made less money for both his combined UFC 255 and 256 wins, than JDS made for his loss at UFC 256. shrug.
 
And just like that he will be defending his belt on ESPS from now on lol
 
Wait what the fuck ppv points aren't standard for champions anymore?

lol!! no wonder Dana has been so happy with Fig.

edit: He has a $750K base salary.. as someone said, he took the contract with high base and no ppv.

My bad i think it was Eddie Alvarez i am thinking of.. :oops:

Thing with Alvarez is that when he signed his contract, they never envisioned he’d be headlining a card selling 1.3m ppv. He didn’t need to renegotiate. He made like $2m because he did have ppv points.

He could have got way more look at Nate. Eddie screwed himself out of a red panty night!
 
Well he's earned it, and he's someone the ufc highly respects for the work effort he's putting in for the business.
 
Sorry Fig you're an awesome fighter but people aren't tuning in to watch you. You'll be regulated to co main status soon. If MM couldn't make the 125 div popular I highly doubt you can. And ppv points is directly tied to popularity and the amount of people you bring to the table.

Lol there goes the myth “Champs automatically get PPV points”

I'm 100% sure before the ESPN deal they did. ESPN has ppv rights now. This is the exact reason why Brock didn't come back. Now very specific fighters I think still get it.

$2m was very much red panty for Eddie.

Nate got more for the 2nd fight because he already sold from the first fight, and won. He put himself in that position. Eddie wasn’t a draw coming into the conor fight.
 
everybody besides wmma should get ppv points no matter if they are kid sized or not
