New information on "PPV revenue cut"

[DreamGoddessLindsey]

Okay, I was actually checking numbers, and it turns out PPV revenue cut does not that its percentage from your PPV revenue, but rather adds on a percentage of their base pay like with every other perk. I don't know if this is how it's supposed to work or not, but that's how the numbers add up. So having five people with 20% would not make you gain no PPV revenue, it just means your person maing $1,000,000 will make an extra $200,000.

 

This was a relief to me, as I have been having to hand out more and more PPV revenue cuts as my people got more popular.

I thought it was a bonus for PPV appearances. But maybe that is how TEW words it

So it's just a bonus % based on their wage? Strange wording for it, then. lol

Yea, when I hear cut I think a cut of the PPV profits. That's why I wanted to choke out a fighter who turned me down after offering 100% PPVV cut. I thought he was turning down like 15 million a fight.

Seems a bit strangely worded, I have never had to offer more than 8 percent on that bonus to my top fighters that is why I assumed it was a cut of the revenue.

I think in the real world it actually IS a cut of the total PPV revenue for guys like Lesnar, Anderson Silva, etc. but I always figured it was a % of their pay in the game. Like DGL said, everything is a % of their base.

It is, which is why I assumed (like the rest of you) it was the same thing in the game. Strangely worded, indeed.

 

And I doubt Silva gets a cut of the PPV revenue. I doubt he gets all that much money at all; for as good as he is, his fights don't sell all that much from what I know. I think only his fight with Sonnen did big business. Lesnar is the only fighter I for sure know who receives a cut of the revenue.

 

EDIT - and I stand corrected:

 

The PPV estimate can be taken a few different ways. One is that Anderson Silva has been putting up some very decent numbers as of late (600k PPV buys for UFC 117), though we have to point out that this card was put together in a way where Belfort and Forrest vs Franklin would definitely boost up the number for Silva. It is believed that Anderson Silva will make more than six-figures after his PPV points are tacked on to his reported base pay. The other is that these numbers are on par with what George St. Pierre typically puts up 650K-750K. It is very difficult for the UFC to break the 800k-1 million PPV buys mark on a card that does not feature Brock Lesnar, and GSP is by far the the second biggest star in the UFC. A bout between Anderson Silva vs GSP will most likely do Lesnar numbers, but the negative side-effect of GSP or Silva losing could affect their drawing power in the long run.

This actually helps because i put together a card where the two guys in the main both had 10 % its interesting to see its not part of your ppv income and is just a bonus that adds to their income

I always thought fighters were only getting a % of PPV revenue if they headlined.
