So Masvidal is a Multi Millionaire now...

[Doughie99]

yeah the dollars-paid-to-a-PPV-cut-fighter per PPV buy is banded (a bit like tax bands) and if the PPV buys exceeds a certain level, then instead of maybe 3dollars per buy, the fighter will get 4 dollars per buy for PPV's ABOVE that threshold. Probably 3 different bands.
So it rewards a really high number of PPV buys with banded amounts.

So I'd say 2 to 5million dollars for Masvidal at a guess, as the PPV apparently sold really well. He was reported as being on 500k to show and the rest will be PPV money which as far as i know tends to take a few weeks to verify etc.
But yes for sure Masvidal will get paid several million dollars for that event, and as disappointed as he is to have lost the fight.......he lives to fight another day, and get another nice payday.

@Mesos
I did a quick visual of the type of calculation that is typical for a fighter on a 'Fixed amount to show, plus a banded cut of the PPV buys' and here it is below :



So this MAY be correct in structure terms.
Note :
1) we don't know how many bands was agreed
2) we don't know the US$ per PPV buy for each band, but 2 to 5 dollars might be about right (as above) given what I remember from previous data (often from @FrankieNYC R.I.P.)
3) we don't know for certain that the total PPV buys was 1,300,000.
4) 500,000USD was the reported 'show' money for Masvidal.
5) obviously this is gross amount, and tax is payable
6) any backroom bonuses are not shown, nor is info released.

So this is illustrative, and the total could easily be half that OR double that, depending obviously on the (secret) contracted pay levels.

Lmao at 7 million pay. He’d be lucky if he got a bit more than one million after taxes and gym fees. Well deserved, though. Masvidal has been around for a long time.

You're delusional.

 

[Doughie99]

You're delusional.

err....ok. If you say so. On the numbers or the structure?? I remember discussions from a few years ago with I think Frankie (our fallen Sherbro) and this is more or less the structure that he talked about then and although we don't *know* he structure, this is typical of the sort of thing. Whether the amounts per buy are 1$ or 2$ or 3$ or 4$ or whatever....that's obiovusly not known and debatable.
It might be that it was agreed one FLAT $ figure per PPV buy whatever the PPV totals were. We just don't know.

But instead of just calling me delusional for contributing to the discussion and making an educated stab at it...perhaps you could make your own educated guess? With every respect 'n all that. Bro.

The graph is nice.

Also, Jon Jones has said that he's made about 5 million per fight. His PPVs did something like 800,000 buys. However, he might have a different deal being a long time champion. But yeah, I'd say 3-6 million seems reasonable. Also, he must've been paid for the videogame stuff. Mas is making bank.

My guess, first off, is that Masvidal - a former never champion- doesn't receive PPV points. Do you need me to expand furthet from there into the complexity of your delusional assumption of the ppv point structure for every fighter (upon a scale of which he'd rank amongst the bottom)?

Your dollar amounts are absurd. And I don't give a shit what a guy who hid behind an internet name claimed to know.

 

[Bluehefner]

The standard ppv buys compensation came out in the big lawsuit:

$1.00 for every PPV ticket sold between 200,000 and 400,000 tickets. Compensation for tickets sold between 400,000 and 600,000 is given as $2.00 each. Then, tickets sold over the 600,000 threshold result in a $2.50 reward each.

This is on average, individual fighters may have negotiated slight differences. If all this is true for Mas, that means he made: Base salary 500,000 + 200,000 + 400,000 + 1,750,000 = 2.85 Million. However, I suspect he negotiated for more.

He may have just said $3 for straight buys over 400K, which would have net him 2.7M. I doubt he made over 5M whatever his deal was.

Couple million or more probably sounds on the money. (no pun intended)

He has stated several times in interviews that he would get PPV points for this fight. It's the only reason the negotiation went well. He did vs Diaz as well. I think all main event fighters do. You're ill informed man.

You make grand assumptions, and I doubt he was earning more than 1% after the first 200k buys, which would be 1.5m with his disclosed - far below any $5m claims.

 

[Volador]

You make grand assumptions, and I doubt he was earning more than 1% after the first 200k buys, which would be 1.5m plus his disclosed - far below any $5m claims.

What assumptions am I making? 1% of what? Or you meant $1?

I just posted a source from a lawsuit where Overeem made $2 per PPV vs Lesnar after the first 10,000 PPVs or so. I doubt Masvidal made less than $2 per buy. If the PPV really made 1.3m as reported, that's 2.6m + 500k = 3m. Which is why I put 3m as the floor. I said somewhere between 3-6m, that was my guess. Not saying this with any certainty, but don't understand why you have certainty either. You weren't even aware that he's getting PPV points, and now you're trying to instruct people?

 

[Broad Blade]

Crazy how one big fight can make such a difference. I wonder how much of a cut Masvidal got from 1.3 million buys


Anyone know how much UFC pays top guys typically get per buys these days? Think Brock used to get 3 bucks of a ppv buy. Has to be more these days right??


If I had to guess Masvidal made more than $10 million

If he won, I think he would've made around $10 mil. But since he lost, my guess would be around $6 to $7 mil...

But he def. deserves at least $10 mil. for his next fight...

jmo

y you salty Jorge is a multi-millionaire.

 

[Zarate]

I did the math. Based on 1.3 million ppv buys and taking into consideration the "Dana" cut, Jorge will walk away with a total of $46.98. Before tax.

+ Reebok Money

 

[Zarate]

Remember when Cucks claimed Cowboy made several Millions with the Conor fight but only get 200k?

lol @ 10 million dolares

Look man ....... I have no dog in this fight, I really don't !!! -- I'm not Masvidal's manager or his buddy or his agent.

The numbers were just a best guess, that's all, nothing more, based on my memory of some previous discussions bout PPV pay structure quite a long time ago.

I don't know why you feel the need to be so aggressive and attack someone just cos they posted a potential pay structure! If you disagree, then please be more polite and constructive, there's no need to start spraying your Uzi 9mm around the board, emptying the magazine cos you feel like doing it for fun.

- It sounds to me that you have something personal against Jorge Masvidal and are, therefore, randomly trying to smash any messenger that suggests that Jorge Masvidal may have made a few million dollars on this event. As I said before the contractual details are obviously private, we are all just speculating a bit, but there's *nothing wrong with that*!!

I'm not saying he DID get an amount like this, i'm not saying he is overpaid, or underpaid, i'm simply contributing in a calm & analytical way to this thread and you're just hurling insults around like a pissed-off 5yr old who got told he cannot have chocolate ice-cream today.

I've seen you on this board for a long time now and I genuinely thought you were better than this. It's a little surprising.

 

[KarateYeah]

I miss Frankie. Only guy I trusted with numbers

If I had to guess Masvidal made more than $10 million

Avg is 2.5 percent of ppvs though masv prolly negotiated to 5. Percent or 7 percent

 

[cburm]

Okay a ufc champ who's not Conor gets 2.5 percent of the ppvs so uzmen made around 2.2 mill

Masv I'm guessing got up to 5 or 7 from negotiating percent he earned 2.2 to up to 6 million dollars hes somewhere in that range

I'm pretty sure conor earns some were between 5 and 12 percent from ppvs though he did say his last ufc fight was 40 mill he could be in the 20 percents of ppv buys

 

[riskyfella]

You guys are crazy if you think Masvidal made anything less than 5M.

 

[cburm]

You guys are crazy if you think Masvidal made anything less than 5M.

I def dont think he made over 6 million I cant see the ufc giving him more than 7 percent maybe they will give him more now that they seen his ppv numbers..

But this isnt how they work and my numbers are off of what fighters have said that earn ppvs even conor said this a champ gets 2.5 percent now those who sell and negotiate are getting 4 to 6 or higher
