UFC's PPV numbers are at an all-time low. I Have Some Ideas.

[payton]

UFC is a nearly unwatchable product. It’s almost entirely mid cards now, with a couple "big" fights at the top. The ufc isn’t fostering talent anymore, they want cheap DWCS fighters not stars, they’ve said so themselves. Dana and Co can blame ESPN all they want for lack of viewership. But they keep putting on dog shit apex cards full of underpaid fighters and awful pay per views.

Price keeps going up and product isn’t improving. Low fighter pay provides no incentive for old and new talent. Perhaps the UFC should start paying more for finishes. double the payout.
I don’t have a problem with UFC signing entry fighters to low pay scales but when they aren’t even getting their high value assets into the cage 3X+/Y, we have a problem with the product.


- Increase the extra bonus from 50k to 150k.
- Lower the win bonus to minimize coasting.
- Introduce a 200k KO/TKO bonus in the first half of the fight.
- 80k bonus for submissions in the first half.

Share your ideas.

Dana has said that if he pays his fighters more then they won’t have the hunger down the road.

I agree. It’s far more important to play 100k hands on blackjack than pay your employees, sorry, your contractors.

Here's an idea ditch the PPV model. I doubt anybody under 30 has even ever ordered one.

Jake Paul vs Conor.... J/K . But it would break the Khabib vs Conor record.

How about not putting the PPV behind a paywall for a subscription most never use...

Haven’t seen a post with an algebraic equation in a while.

200k knockout bonus is a great idea, the younger and debuting fighters who are probably on small contracts will fight their ass off for the ko if that was implemented

He got tossed over the ropes by The Great Khali

In all honesty, UFC ring girls are dressed downright modest compared to most fight promotions now. Don't think The UFCs changed their outfits since the 2000s.

SOURCE?

I guarantee.. You don’t have one.

This is all fantasy. Which makes you disingenuous at the least. More than likely, just a liar.

I'm 52 and the last ppv I got was UFC 17.

I think you owe TS an apology @TempleoftheDog

 

[Luckyme]

There are way too many mediocre Apex cards watering down the product.

Even if a PPV is stacked, all of the abysmal FNs leading up to it kills the excitement, especially with casuals.
