Work Friend Keven posted:The highest buys a DJ lead ppv has ever done is 125k, you can't get ppv points on nothing. Yeah I can't remember how the points are structured, but you have to clear a certain threshold to get paid on points.

EmmyOk posted:The only thing worse than "bland or boring fighters" are fighters who are trying to ape people like Conor and Chael when they have no charisma or personality. The only thing I think more fighters should do is have an opponent in mind for the post fight interview rather than "I'll fight anyone". Apparently that's too hard because 99% of fighters say that poo poo post-fight. It's obnoxious because generally it's not true and most guys are in it to get paid and would want to fight a Conor McGregor to get a huge payday.

Gay Horney posted:Yeah why would the UFC promote its most dominant champion? Because the most dominant champion sold fewer PPV buys than James Toney and his gold belt in jiu-jitsu.

Cyber Dog posted:The thing is, you don't have to promote DJ. Just give the mic to the other people, put them on main cards, etc. Those that stand out are gonna fight him and sell it. all of DJ's opponents are worse at promotion than he is

If the division is a net loss to the UFC, maybe the new owners just don't feel like doing poo poo with them anymore and this is all just a pretense to cut loose a bunch of roster guys.

Veskit posted:I've been following it enough but i severely doubt that there's a written minimum that you are allowed to get points on a PPV fight during the negotiations of the fight itself. There's a difference between you get no points on the fight, and you'll start accruing points when you hit this amount of buys. If you think about it that's not even enforceable look up Eddie Alvarez' contract offer that came out when he was suing Bellator. PPV points are tiered in that more buys = you get more money, but you've got to cross a 200k buys threshold to get paid on points. Tezcatlipoca posted:Why is the UFC refusing to give him points if he's getting less than 100k buys? Because it's in the contract he signed.

Like the only person I can think of that contested his contract was Randy when he tried to leave to fight Fedor, and he lost.

Best Friends posted:On the one hand, this guy is extremely good at basketball, and is totally reliable. On the other hand, he never once got in a screaming argument with another basketball player. Look, as a fan, all I'm saying is I'm going to need a detailed breakdown of how he's helping the NBA's bottom line before I agree it's bullshit that management routinely kidnaps him and hits him with hammers. Basketball is a real sport, MMA is barely a step removed from pro wrestling.

It's also not really true that DJ hasn't been promoted. He headlined 3 Fox cards in a row and his drawing ability on PPV after that is middling to none.

The main event is gonna start at 10pm PST, go 10 rounds, and will be thoroughly unremarkable unless Floyd effortlessly clowning Conor gets you hard.

Scrapez posted:Ferguson is God awful as an analyst. I don't even know how he got that gig. Do they not screen test them at all? in the past maybe Lorenzo and Dana would keep poo poo like this from happening, but in the WME world they have no idea what the gently caress they're doing. Hendo needs to unretire so he can swirlie Ari Gold or some poo poo.

Tony Ferguson is a belligerent drunk who accused a guy who was having custody issues of being a deadbeat dad because of his own daddy issues. That he's weird as an analyst should've been a given.
