Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: UFC is on The Balls of It's Ass, No Marquee Stars Left!

UFC 217 only sold 875k. That's nowhere near the May-Pac record. It's not even close to the UFC record.

Yeah i had to look that up, broke that Canadian PPV sales record lol. Also thats 875k sales in north america... not US its US + Canada combined. So .... very misleading.

I absolutely GUARANTEE you that the UFC didn't come close to selling 875K PPV's for the GSP-Bisping fight.

Notice how these figures never come from UFC itself but out of someones ass. Unless it comes directly from an official announcement from the UFC or a Cable Provider, its meaningless.

So many ufc fighters have come out and dispelled the reported UFC PPV as being FAKE as they've seen the actual PPV numbers and they're alot lower then the reported ones.

I bet you're "someone"

Revenue -- it's not just based on PPV.

How much did May-Mac generate for WME?

Most of it is. FOX or whoever the fùck has UFC on their terrestrial television show offered them 50% less this year which is like 200 instead of 4? Big hit right there.

No data on that. We do know Floyd got the lionshare.

I can guess real quick?

North America PPVR: 430 million (we know for a fact)
Global PPVR: 230 million* (alleged 6.6 million total buys)
Gate: 55 million
Additional purses: 1.2 millon
Venue+Staff+Additonal fee's: N/A

Mayweather Purse: 300 million
McWelfare Purse: 100 Million

After doing the appropriate math above we got 316.2 million left.

I'm sure Showtime gets the lionshare (probably not 3:1) here, then UFC next. FMP, and McWelfare Sports and Entertainment start cutting the rest. Never mind additional logistics costs.

After it's all said and done WME probably got 100-150 million. We don't even know if those global numbers are correct. I think my spread here is the best possible outcome for WME.

Dana White's net worth: $500 Million

Bob Arum's net worth: $200 Million

I'd say the Serpent person who is what 80+ will die worth more than 2X less than Dana White.

do you mean less than 1/2?
