Bars and restaurants are charged based on their capacity. Some places could end up spending close to $1000 per event. So let's say the UFC sells 500,000 PPV buys at $44.95 for an event, their actual gross revenue will be way more than $22,475,000 before splitting with the providers.

This is something Affliction fans should take into consideration as well (assuming there were some bars that showed Banned).

I heard the event was Banned from bars and restuarant





































bad joke I know

22 mil, I figured it would be more don't some sponsors pay more if a ppv buy hits a certain number

I've always wondered what Hooters pays for a PPV. Some bars in Chicago that regularly show Sunday night WWE PPVs have a $5 cover or a two-drink minimum.

Yeah, I'm not sure exactly how much per seat they have to pay but I know it ends up to be a lot. I tried to get my boss to order a UFC a while back and he told me about that. Makes you wonder how much they really make off of PPV's. Think about how many bars accross America show UFC events.

I understand if it's a franchise. I doubt local bars would do that.

My understanding is that 1000 or so bars in the US order PPVs. Lets say the average is $1000. $1000 * 1000 bars is $1,000,000 dollars.

Then 500,000 PPV buys at $45 per buy, $22,500,000, giving them $23,500,000 PPV gross.

However, the current deal the UFC has between in demand and directv averages out to 50/50.

That means the UFC gets $11,750,000 PPV revenues per event. They still have to pay a lot of that out to cover various costs.

Don't disseminate the wrong numbers, jerzeydevil. UFC ain't makin a 22 million profit per event.

On a side note, because the UFC is consistantly bringing in good PPV figures they are able to negotiate a better deal with providers. This will give them even more profit.

I'm on my IPhone right now so I can't link the article, but it's the headline on the homepage at MMAPayout.com. If someone could link it for me I'd appreciate it.

No, I get that they get around half. Was net profit the wrong term? My bad. I meant before the provider takes their cut.

good points in the thread, never really thought about the bar numbers before
