What business increases employee pay when the product is stolen and or revenue drops?

That’s the problem is they aren’t increasing fighter pay. Has your head been in the sand?
That’s why Jon Jones initially left the LHW belt as leverage for a better contract. Here we are 3 years later & Jones finally returns, but now Ngannou is out bc he was unhappy with his negotiations.
Bo Nickal is one of the biggest hyped up guys on a main card & his initial contract is $12k per fight. Thank God he got a POTN bonus.

Why are you spreading lies? You know damn well fighter pay has increased big time. Who is paying lower tier fighters more than the ufc?
Ngannou made a huge mistake and is a dumbass rrying to represent himself. Despite that the ufc was gonna overpay him and he turned it down thinking he was some big draw. Lets see how that plays out for him.
As for Nickal, the dude is coming off of the contender series and is being built up. What are you expecting him to get paid? He wins a couple of more fights and will be getting 6-7 figures and will be made into a star assuming he keeps winning. How many people heard of the name bo nickal before the fight the other night? Very fricking few besides the 3 wrestling fans and hardcore ufc fans.
I like the ufc model. Everybody wants to get paid more but it is hard enough to get these guys to fight. You pretty much made the point already the ones that are highly paid sit out to get more money. Imagine what would happen if the lower to mid toer fighters started making way more than they make now. Not only that but what other combat sport pays more??

facts.
and so many people are so damn clueless when it comes to "fighter pay"
just because you saw it on Twitter doesn't mean it is true..... the fact is that Francis is, and has never been a financial draw. he has never drawn more than 200,000-400,000 PPV buys as a main eventer ... yet the UFC offered him around $3M per fight, but he wants $30M per fight.... good luck to any dumb-arse promotion who gives him that.

Pardon me.. I stand corrected. This must be the big time increases you’re talking about. No wonder they got Jones to finally come back.

Champions will now get $42,000 per bout in fight week incentive pay, compared to $40,000 under Reebok. Title challengers will get $32,000, compared to the old rate of $30,000.
This was from the UFC-Venum deal.. I believe this was one of the few things Ngannou was pushing for as well-for athletes to make their own sponsorship deals.

Jones reportedly made between 7-8 million for 3 minutes of work.
Posted on 3/7/23 at 10:23 am to diat150
As he should. Ngannou would have made about 8M for that fight, as well.

ok so what is your? if jones fought 2-3 times a year he could make between 15-25 million a year. and thats not including any mailbox money or other sponsorships that he does on the side by using his platform as a ufc fighter and one of the goats.

Thats cool when you are like 20 but when you are a grown arse man you buy the fight to help put money in the pockets of these athletes that train their arse off and put on a show for you.
Sorry don't care how grown you are. If your audience only consist of people willing and able to pay $50 every month. The UFC probably wouldn't even exist today.
The UFC needs illegal streams.

damn tee were you banned?
again, what companies business model profits from people stealing the product?
yes, the ufc knows that people will steal the product. I am sure that they also hope that younger people that are probably more likely to steal the product will grow up, make more money, and prefer to purchase the product instead of steal it to help support the organization and fighters.

I remember years ago when Joe Riggs said the UFC paid him well over $300k in 2006 for fighting 3x (and only once on PPV) so I'm sure fighters today make a lot more than what anyone thinks.
