But I don't think it is evil for the UFC to go forward with it. While it will obviously make Dana and other owners way to much. Most of the rest of the fighters on the card and not millionares and can probably use the money not to mention all their coaches, trainers and so on. It is shitty that the US does not have universal health care and so on but I understand why many of the fighters want to fight. | ||

https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2020/4/8/21213333/wsj-ufc-pushing-through-to-reach-event-quota-earn-around-750-million Brandon Ross, a media analyst at LightShed Partners, who estimates that the UFC could earn around $750 million by simply putting on their contracted number of events this year. They cite that with the ESPN contract, the UFC is “required” to complete 42 shows in 2020. They’ve so far hosted just seven shows this year, meaning they’ll have to put on the remaining 35 events. By simply putting on UFC 249, Nash estimates that the UFC will get well over $20 million “no matter how much — or little — it sells.” That’s a far cry from the UFC’s previous business model from years past, where they relied heavily on the PPV buy-rate. As both Nash and the Wall Street Journal noted above, in this current ESPN-era, the UFC now relies heavily on those contracted deals. Even with PPV buyrate being reportedly lower than previous years, White boasted about 2019 being the biggest year in UFC history. The company’s record breaking revenues were reportedly at $900 million for the year. So while the UFC likely won’t be able to reach last year’s record numbers, they’re still set to make massive money — even when losing out on other revenue streams on these closed-door events. | ||
