New Paramount deal means loss of PPV points for top-tier fighters?

[HoiceNJuicy]

Are they going to get screwed in this deal? No sponsorships on shorts. No PPV points. The UFC keeps finding ways to remove benefits and incentives for the talent.

I hate to say I don't care, but like, this benefits the fans way more in my selfish opinion. Maybe the viewership increase will supplement it? I don't know. But I'm willing to accept their sacrifice of PPV points. I'll take one for the team.

Don't worry I'm sure Dana will compensate them since they are making billions

Seriously though, this one of those times where the to fighters need to be bargaining hard with the UFC.

Aspinall islam and toperia need to be raking them over the coals.

I'm sure they'll be compensated well with other things, like a dozen UFC hotdog branders

Giblert was a bum in the compared to his historical success in other promotions. I put 100% of the blame on this stupid fit kit and mispelling his name.

Sounds like more retired legends.

The white house bullshit is the only thing holding them in place until next year.

This is interesting (to watch fans care more about themselves than fighters getting paid).

Another 7 billion in the UFC corner and somehow the fighters are begging to be on a single card.

Sad days ahead.

They'll likely redo the PPV points system for fighters and tie it to Paramount Plus / CBS ratings etc. Or just give certain fighters a higher guarantee.

TKO found a way to double their revenue while paying fighters less

 

[Milenkovic]

They will get a hot dog brander and like it

I don't think dana cares or wants to be involved much anymore.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Damn I never thought about it. I'm sure they'll find a way to screw the fighters. Probably base it on viewership averages. It doesn't matter how much money the UFC will be given because they don't like guaranteeing big money up front to fighters

U'll FIght Cheaper

He's been on autopilot since Frank and Lorenzo dipped. Still has a hard on for boxing though, lol.

What does this mean? You're not making the sacrifice here, they are, and you seem to know this.

And the fans don't benefit if the sport is harmed.
