That means he didn't get PPV points for UFC 255 and NOT EVEN UFC 256 after a record-breaking turnaround...

Walid(His manager for those that don't know) taking a big big L how do you not negotiate for PPV points... UFC was desperate as hell for a PPV worthy main event that was the perfect time to negotiate PPV points....

What makes you so sure that wallid didn't even try to negotiate for ppv points? Maybe he did and was shit down. I'd think that wallid would've atleast tried.

You weren't in there during negotiations. How do you know for certain he was even offered a choice?

That's a supposition at best.

Let's not act like Dana and the ufc havnt used strong arm tactics before. My way or the highway type shit most probably sums up this situation in a nutshell. Look at dj's treatment for further reference.

The micro weight division tends to be a net loss.

It's GOAT routinely had people leaving the arena and breastaraunts during his fights. It's GOAT literally crawled between the ref's legs like a mouse.

Don't be surprised if the midget leagues don't get the same benefits as the human size leagues.

Just based on production costs, can almost guarantee you MM was a net earner for the UFC. Really hard to believe the promotion loses money on any of their events given how cheap they are to put together.
 
he better be smart and not sign his life away ... 3 fight contracts at most these days ...


keep the negotiation power on your side
 
Im sure bow that he is headling and bringing fans in he will get them in the future. Im not sure if others here are right saying he signed a contract for high pay vs PPV. He might want to get that changed. Ive seen a lot of news about him. He will prob do very good taking points now.

Figgy made less money for both his combined UFC 255 and 256 wins, than JDS made for his loss at UFC 256. shrug.

Clearly he paid the 'I am a 125er' tax. and JDS was paid the 'I am a Heavyweight' bonus. This is not new bigger guys when all things are equal make more than the little guys.
 
Important question is how many ppv's did he sell in his last 2 events?

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.

Where a source to this bc it sound like your are making it up tbh. He's making $120-120 a lot of champs get more than that so I don't believe you.
 
Didn't Dana already grave him a bag full with cash? Don't get greedy Figgy...

This is not new. DJ was in this same situation.

This is a quote from DJ
"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," Johnson (19-2-1 MMA, 7-1-1 UFC) told MMAjunkie Radio. "I know I'm not a big name like Anderson Silva or [Georges St-Pierre]. 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."

All due respect to Walid who’s a legend in Jiu Jitsu but he’s not the guy I would want negotiating a financial deal on my behalf

To add to my previous post look at the title fight between Joanna and Claudia on TUF 23 Finale. They both made similar money and people complained about that but Joanna went on to fight on a Conor PPV and ended up making about 2.2mil that year. She chose the lower base pay and PPV points then fought like hell to fight on Conor and Ronda Cards which is while she has made over 4mil in 2 years.

What do you think "I'd rather take the money up front than wager a bet." means? The money up front is the guaranteed higher base pay. The wager is that he could get on a draws PPV. If you can't figure that out I can't help you.
