UFC remains king of PPV hill

[blegit]

I agree with the person who said Dana White makes it so fighters cant duck each other. Dana cops a lot of shit from everyone but not from me, I like his no bullshit attitude. At least hes speaking his mind and at least the UFC get super fights happening immediately, where as boxing it takes yrs and yrs of ego bruising and then finally a fight.

Dont get me wrong, I love boxing way more then UFC but in the end there is something to be learnt from the way ufc is managed.

hell of a lot of home truths in that snakey

But its hard to compare a major UFC showdown where there are hundreds of thousands at stake and a major boxing showdown when your talking about tens of millions of dollars.

This. UFC has a PPV every month and when you compare the UFC's revenue to every other major sport including boxing, it's peanuts the percentage of that revenue that actually makes it back to the fighters.

Exactly, its how the business pie is being split. Its real simple to figure. The percentage of money from the PPVs that is given to the fighters is minimal. I never get why people don't see or understand this is why UFC easily runs the PPV numbers for the year. Boxing could do a better job but there is no way it can match UFC in PPVs because in comparison the UFC fighters are getting sweatshop wages. St. Pierre, arguably the p4p guy of the sport, got $60,000 for one of his last two fights. If Pac or PBF were normally getting less than 6 figures then boxing would have no competition in PPV sales because you could load a card riddled with p4p guys and have a total payroll of less than $1 million. For Pac and PBF to get in the ring together they command a predicted $70 million pie to split. That kind of pie would pay every UFC notable for years to come. That would include getting Anderson Silva/GSP, UFC's top 2 p4p match, together. Boxing PPVs have a payroll of many millions while UFC PPVs have at best a tenth of boxing's. Many of the UFC fighters have complained about their wages and that they have to earn those bonuses, like KO of the night, in their fight to even get a decent wage. As long as the UFC can consistently get away with paying their fighters 5 or 6 figures they will always have a PPV every month and with many top guys in it. The UFC and the fans get what they want and the fighters have no better option. Its simple business.
