    The problem is you assume the fighters are asking for a raise in the current revenue distribution structure and counter that by explaining you get paid by ppv shares etc. The fighters are asking to change the system where the revenue is much more evenly distributed between ownership and athletes. In NBA for example, the share is around 50-50 while in the UFC it's only around 20-80.

    You don't get it. Everyone would be paid more if the revenue share was close to what other leagues have, ie 50/50. It is 18% for the UFC, and makes it very suspicious that you don't address it. And uncle Dana pretends he does not hear the question when asked...he was avoiding the question at Lebatard, he avoids the question everytime it is asked. 5 years now he says he does not know the exact number, he is not a numbers guy, can't talk if he does not know the exact number...

    @tsicola Před 4 lety +1

    There are a few reasons why Jon Jones specifically and fighters in general deserve more money. First, quality matters. Generally speaking, people who can afford it will pay more for a higher quality product. We know this because brands like Honda thrive and brands like Yugo fail. If you put out an inferior product your brand will suffer in the long run. Second, it's not all about spectacle. There are fans who will come out for Connor McGregor only to see him win or lose, but the majority of his fans are watching him because he is an incredibly talented and entertaining fighter. These two reasons can be personified in two fighters; Khabib and Bob Sapp. Khabib's performance is of the highest quality, but maybe not the most spectacular/entertaining for non-fight fans. Sapp on the other hand was all spectacle at the end of his career, and you can see where that's gotten him. At a certain point we have to realize that this is not the Kardashians. Third, the athletes take all the significant risks. If a fight doesn't sell out, the owners may lose money on an investment. This is an opportunity cost issue. They can take their money and get 8% in the stock market and be just fine. A fighter's night goes bad... So in reality, it's all about the margins; how much of the pie goes to the fighters vs how much goes to the owners. Just look at Walmart and Amazon to see how pay inequality can have a negative effect on the people actually doing the work. I'm open for debate on how much more, because if the business fails, no one gets paid, but I believe Jones raises the level of quality of the UFC, who would have a hard time defending their claim that they are offer the best competition without him.

    • @dndfan3000
      @dndfan3000 Před 4 lety

      You're not that far off in your assessment but with a ppv model everything is tailored for the spectacle more than the quality you have to understand that MMA is still at a space where a lot of people aren't willing to accept how violent it is and due to that they can't really fund it with ads and sponsorships right now where it would be more like a league where you could suggest the athletes make more money but while it's a business that argument is very difficult to make

      At the end of the day, televised MMA matches are a form of entertainment just like all sport’s. As part of entertainment, people tune in and pay for PPV based on entertainment and spectacle. If the fighter can’t bring in the PPV because the people hitting the pay button don’t care for the fighter, then that’s on the fighter, regardless how good at MMA he/she is.

      @@MikeShyu Thanks for your comment, but I disagree on one point. The fighter's job is to win fights; the company's job is marketing and sales.

I'm not saying that ppv sales are irrelevant, but they shouldn't be the only factor.

    Yes, fighters are paid on drawing power. Though, why not pay fighters collectively more than 18% of the UFC's revenue as it stands now (to ensure UFC fighters can afford to live the lives of pro athletes, as they by-and-large live already, but cannot afford to [unless doing another monetarily supportive profession, or..] unless top-tier among the top-tier. Would be curious to hear Chael's take on that matter. I think that's the better conversation to be had here (rather than addressing wonky practical concerns of being paid to the level of skill). Uncle Chael, would you support the notion of OVERALL fighter pay increasing (in terms of UFC revenue percentages)?

    That's not the point though, the point is that in other sports the revenue is shared more evenly than in UFC. Jon Jones is more popular than Damian Lillard, but Dame will make more money in 2020 than Jones has probably made in his whole career to date. That's the problem. You can't have a card whereby Jones is headlining and the organisation is walking away with tens of millions whilst Jones is walking away with 5 million max, that's criminal. Even McGregor isn't getting paid as he would if he was a star in boxing.

    I doubt chael reads these comments but if his staff does, here’s the truth of the matter. A fighter gets paid according to how much revenue they generate, how many tickets get sold, how many ppv gets sold, how many T-shirt’s get sold etc etc. so a lot of the time fighters with more skill will make less than a fighter with less skill. Then other factors like how good your agent is, if he has a bunch of other stars in his stable and threatens all of them hold out, if you’re the champion etc. this argument is the same as the one where people say “lebron makes 40 million a year while a WNBA player makes 800k. Yes bc lebron sells out every arena he walks into, sells a shit load of merch, he literally made the city of Cleveland 400-600 million a year more when he came back to Cleveland. Small city economy was dependent on him. That’s why he makes more.

    The popular guy will get you the most money, yes that's obvious. What is not obvious is :: is Dana making a huge amount of money and paying the fighters (all of them asa whole) less than they deserve? In the absence of any sort of laws to prevent this kind of underpaiment, the boiconting stuff that Cejudo, Jones, Conor, Masvidal etc. are doing is the fighter's only option.

    Yep, you are paid based on how much income you can generate, not on how good a martial artist you are. Usually those two things coincide but not always. Nate Diaz should probably command a higher paycheck for a fight than Jon does. Certainly he would have a year ago.

    • @antw9770
      @antw9770 Před 4 lety

      abdouldmml not all boxers are paid by tv networks. They just get a large cut of tv contracts that their promotions sign. For example the UFC just signed a deal with ESPN where the UFC will get 750 million dollars as long as they put on 42 events no matter the ratings or sales yet the fighters don’t receive any money in that deal. Terrence Crawford isn’t signed to ESPN the network he’s signed to Top Rank which has a contract with ESPN. Same as any UFC fighter. Terrence Crawford just makes a higher % of his events revenue than UFC fighters do that’s why he makes the money he makes without being a big draw. For example Chael mentions in this video that Jones vs Ngannou would do big numbers and Jon would make about 5 million. Terrence Crawford’s fight against Amir Khan only sold 150,000 ppv which is AWFUL and he made 5.5 million. If MMA fighters were paid the same % of revenue as boxers Jon Jones would be making 20-30 million easy with the numbers he does. The way the UFC pay structure is guys have to sell an insane amount of ppv just to make a decent pay day. Boxers are doing awful numbers and earning more than top draws in UFC

    As much as I understand chaels logic and his reasoning, but the fact is, they’re not asking for more money based off contractually agreements or flat fees, they’re asking for a higher percentage of the revenue they bring in, which in all honestly is fair.

    • @abdouldmml
      @abdouldmml Před 4 lety

      Other sports aint paid off revenue they are paid off profit. The 50/50 in the nfl is after profit, so take the 800m the ufc made last year deduct taxes, production costs,staff wages, arena costs,hotel costs, advertising costs and the multitude of other costs then tell me are they only getting 18%? Then tell me how you regulate a salary cap in fighting? Because every fighter always wants to renegotiate to get more

    • @lakehouse1607
      @lakehouse1607 Před 4 lety

      Trev1183 Jon Jones is a cash cow for the UFC, he’s made them more than any fighter not named gsp or Conor mcgregor, that’s why they kept him after he tested clean, it wasn’t out of the goodness of their hearts, it’s because he sells and fights consistently. 15 ppvs headlined, x 65 bucks a pop x 300-500k buys each on average is between 300 and 500 million, and don’t forget live gate and sponsors

  • @DezGSRD

    You have a point, at the same time you're a bit disingenuous. If you sell more, you get paid more, true. However, if you sell more, UFC get's paid a lot more. MMA Fighters in the UFC take a much smaller portion of revenue than in other major sports.

    Every fighter should be paid more than the promoter. Period. That's the real point and issue. Dana and the ufc will walk away with 10 to 15 million. While jon walks away with 3-5 million. Yet he's the one bringing the entertainment by getting his head kicked off his shoulders.

      UFC is a part of a subscription service in my country so I get most events as part of my TV deal anyway. Only get charged extra for 3-4 cards a year.
      I just think that what fighters make and are restricted from making (i.e Reebok deal) is an unfair amount, especially at the top end.
