UFC just paid the Heavyweight champ 600k to headline a PPV and Dana wonders why Francis is unhappy

[BigDanStudd]

LMAO, I'd love to see someone try to defend this. Absolute SCUMBAGS, these UFC cunts.

Major PPV they're charging the public $75 bucks to watch, and they paid out $1,450,000 for the main and co-main events total! They're actually paying a WORLD CHAMPION 200k to co-headline a PPV.

Francis now has the leverage to tell Dana to eat his ass and balls, and Dana will go into his regular spin cycle and paint Ngannou as the bad guy for wanting more money, wanting to box, etc.

Gee, I wonder why Francis would want to box?

"Per the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the contractually-guaranteed purses for Wilder and Fury are both for $5 million. However, as noted by ESPN's Dan Rafael, both men are actually guaranteed more than $25 million, plus a percentage of the pay-per-view receipts."

"Usyk will make a solid payday for this title fight, but Joshua will make the bulk of the money as the champion and bigger name. Total Sportal is reporting Joshua will earn a guaranteed £10 million (approximately $13.7 million) while Usyk will earn a guaranteed £3 million (approximately $4.1 million).

Both fighters are getting a cut of the PPV sales, but it is unclear how much that would entail. Joshua would likely be getting the larger percentage of the PPV after promotion fees are pulled out. Joshua’s last fight against Kubrat Pulev generated between 600,000 and 700,000 PPV buys, per ESPN’s Mike Coppinger. "



I wonder if Gane and Ngannou get to share in a percentage of the PPV sales? loooooool

 

[Rationality]

You are absolutely correct.

 

[CallMeCasual]

Does Ngannou get a PPV cut? Because it doesn't seem like you get a PPV cut just because you are a champion right?

What does it take to get a PPV cut?

 

[phenomphan2]

We thought boxing promoters were bad? UFC and Dana are a bunch of scumbags.

 

[Rdude92]

I won't be mad if Ngannou goes over to boxing. Go Ngannou be free! Get that money!

 

[Saye_mc]

Preach on, I agree

 

[Pierced7681]

Ngannou wouldn’t do shit in boxing, so he’d never command a big payday like those guys. Does MMA need to pay more? Yeah, but it hasn’t been around as long as boxing has and isn’t as big worldwide so it’s understandable why it doesnt.

 

[pick999]

For that performance it was perfect.

 

[Oregonmma]

Francis deserves atleast 2m regardless of what happens. Fucking pathetic.

 

[No Mas]

And all those boxing PPVs paying 50x+ likely also sold a fraction of what this event sold.

 

[phenomphan2]

So glad Nganou did not sign an extension. Hope he makes bank boxing or with a different organization.

Ngannou and Gane aren't big stars. Fury and Wilder are two of the biggest names in boxing. MMA has no one with star power right now, other than McGregor, who is injured.

The Paul brothers make more because of star power. Star power, not skill, determines pay.

There is a sales threshold last time I heard. Was before the ESPN deal. Not sure if they changed the threshold or eliminated it all together. Francis and Moreno get PPV cut if ppv meets qualifications (once again, not sure on threshold change since ESPN deal) Not sure if Gane gets it as interim champ (he may)

 

[Poatan Power]

Man, it wasn't an exciting fight.

Francis doesn't KO someone, Francis doesn't entertain. It's that simple.

Even in losses, nate/conor/jorge/colby/etc entertain. there's something to be said about money made and entertainment.

 

[AJ Garcia]

Are people still acting like the athletic commission reporting and the actual pay are even close?

If you are a multi billion dollar Company than you pay the heavyweight champ more than 600k period.

 

[Mammothman]

It's embarassing, they have the BADDEST person in the entire planet and they are paying him peanuts, he have a massive star potential but those bozos still refuse to work together to make him a bigger draw.

I thought all champs get a ppv cut

Oh ok, That might also be a reason why they didn't stack it then. To make sure it didn't reach the number of sales to give Ngannou a PPV cut, basically fuck him over twice, no cut, and to "prove" there is no interest in him fighting, for other organizations/boxing.

Weird tho, IMO they should be guaranteed a cut of the PPV if they are champions.

 

[KantoTerror]

Pathetic...Dana wouldn't think twice giving Ronda, Conor and Jones millions but Francis didn't even get 1M...
