Dana gets 7.7 billion and I don’t have to pay for pay per views anymore. Sounds like a good deal to me. I really hope this translates to higher fighter pay. They’ve earned it. This is a x5 from their last tv deal, so I would imagine fighters should get a big raise. They’ve sat silent (mostly) and been underpaid for years. Time to reward them.

Yes, it's wonderful for the spectator. But I think fighters will continue to earn the same amount. Unless it's at events within the US. In fact, there are fighters who don't fight in the US due to visa issues or even preference.

Nah, fighters have got to benefit from this. This is the same sort of growth the NBA saw that led to their players making tens of millions per year from a few hundred thousand.

Interestingly, Dana said today that Pay Per View isn’t dead and that he will still do one off events. I wonder if that means the White House fight will still be a pay to see event.
