Media Figueiredo wants PPV points..

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.
High bonus pay is different than high base pay.

You can have high base no points or low base and get points.
The bonus is a separate thing.

It was a typo I meant base pay not bonus pay.
 
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.
He got his PPV points deal. I’m happy to be wrong.
