UFC 60 Note: The final PPV buyrate for UFC 60 is not yet available because smaller cable companies throughout the United States have not yet reported their PPV sales. Therefore, we are using the "absolute minimum" number for gross PPV revenue, based on the numbers that are known for UFC 60 (see the PPV article for more details). The final buyrate for the UFC 60 PPV will be higher once all of the late buys from smaller cable companies throughout the U.S. have been counted.

Their totally not paying the right fighters high amounts of money. I would rather see someone take a shit than ever watch Frank Mir again, yet he got 56K. On the other hand Yves only got 8K for UFC 61. This is just one example of many. I fucking hate their marketing etc. They don't play to the real diehard mma fans but to the Pro Wrestling tubby's. Who like ridiculous feuds and arrogant tards. IE tito and shamrock.

Looks like they are making a huge profit.... Like UFC60 almost 27million minus under a million pay for the fighters.. Of course they have other things to cover for like the rent of the venue etc. But on the other hand i believe it doesent include sponsors.
