These celebrities risked everything to finance this venture they should get their just rewards over some uneducated bums doing manual labor. I wouldn't expect a butcher to pay the cows.
Sometimes when you have nothing and hungry you will take those table scraps.All this shows is that fighters are fine with the table scraps they are allowed.
UFC Shills on Sherdog will actually defend this.
No, court docs show pay right around the NY Post’s numberNot defending here, but I dont think its unreasonable to want something more legitimate than unverifiable sources. It sounds to me like someone pulled those numbers out of their ass.
Previous documentation showed total revenue share closer to 25% if I remember correctly.

The mixed martial arts giant has approved a massive $300 million dividend to UFC’s investors — a star-studded list that includes Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Gisele Bündchen, Ben Affleck and tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams, sources said.
Sources tell The Post UFC’s fighters cost the Las Vegas promotions company less than $150 million last year — or under 16 percent of its $900 million in revenue. By contrast, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and the National Football League all share between 48 percent and 50 percent of revenues with their players, data shows.
Experts say UFC could give up ground if it can’t continue to invest heavily in Asia, make meaningful acquisitions or expand into other areas, like boxing.
But Shapiro tells The Post that there are no plans to move into boxing — and he nixed recent reports that Endeavor might spin off UFC or sell shares of the MMA organization to the public through an initial stock offering.
“We never had any plans to go public. The UFC is a major and valuable interest in Endeavor. It is not in our interest to spin it off or IPO,” he said.
That jibes with what sources have told The Post — namely, that Emanuel doesn’t want to lose his cash-cow UFC business to an IPO or spinoff.
“Ari is adamantly against UFC going public. Endeavor wouldn’t be worth as much,” the source said before adding that they also “don’t want the fighters to know exactly how profitable the UFC is.”

what the news here that owners of a company are getting money from a company they invested in. wow who knew that what happenes.
next you gone post what investers are getting from amazon.
Funny you mention about Eric, because he seemed to be very inactive on social media but recently he posted a new pic of himself, he is looking great!!, can't wait to see how he develops on his young mixed martial arts career
Some recent pics of Silva, I wish him well, he is still very raw but is developing very well the young boy
I don't think they should push him too quickly, thats only 10 years, he needs time to develop and come up slowly. He is still too young.Erick Silva will be champ by 2030

Not a shill but the fighters are doing it to themselves
Those leagues both have a players union, the orgs. didn't just give em that split coz they're super nice people...They'd be doing the same thing the UFC are doing if they could
According to his nuthuggers, he owns the UFC thus the 900m will be his.Conor McGregor gets paid 10k in Reebok sponsors.
