The UFC is so fucking cheap. I recently learned their payout for fighter is literally only 5.4% of their intake. Think about this fight. Even if it ends up only being like 300k PPV's that's 19.5M dollars. Where does this money go? (rhetorical bc it's obviously all CEO money) The 17000 people's tickets more then pay for the venue and their absolute lack of promo's for any of these fights.

it's fucked up man

To say the least. I think boxing is close to a 50% split. A 5.4% to 94.6% is assinine. This is why I think other promotions like Bellator will have a huge uprising in the next decade. They pay out more than the UFC by a decent percentage, and some of these guys are just going over there right away and making more, plus sponsors, where even Brendan Schaubb proved he was making like 120k-150k per fight from sponsors. That's money that the UFC took from them. They literally said no more sponsors on your hats, shirts, shorts, can't have a drink, but ohhhh shit now look where those sponsors are----- ON THE FUCKING CAGE AND CANVAS!!!!! They ran over them with that shit. Here's your 2500 dollar reebok payout :/

yeah man killing the sponsors sucked, i actually liked a handful of brands like jaco, clinch gear, and bad boy. the reebok deal was bullshit from the start, killed that entire industry.
