Protect the Ali Act. Expand the Ali Act.

Can’t negotiate with a monopsony. They set the price. That’s what makes them a monopsony. Support the Ali Expansion Act and ongoing antitrust cases.

I’ve got the space operational and taking clients. Still have a lot of work to do but I’m at a point I can start training people. So if you want to learn something and don’t mind the heat, shoot me a message and let’s get started.

Georges St. Pierre Skeptical Paramount Broadcast Deal Benefits UFC Fighters sherdog.com/news/news/Geor…

Dude who got PPV points understands how much more F'd things are about to get.

1) the ESPN deal was originally 1.5B for 5 years and excluded PPVs. They then modified the deal to include PPVs and extended it for two additional years. So this deal more like a 2.2x increase and not a 4.5x increase. 2) No

Rob Maysey was already on my show explaining how some fighters could leverage this deal to their benefit if they're willing to do it.

New deal adds on average $600m year. - raise bonus to $75k adds $4.3m to total fighter pay - make minimum 14/14 adds $10m more - redo ppv contracts to replace ppv & increase guarantees for top 20 - $60m Raises total fighter pay by 33% but share of revenue falls from 16% to 15%

Hey fighters, Are you awake yet?!?! You’re getting fucked again. Nobody cares either. If you don’t stand up for yourselves, No one else will.

Nope

True. (Of course if your employer doubles their revenue on the back of your labor and increases your pay by 1% they could say pay has gone up and it’s technically true but doesn’t feel true). But his point about exposure? How much, in the current environment, does exposure help?

I guess we’re going to do yet another media cycle of media accepting pay has gone up without asking whether the percentage of total revenue fighters obtain has gone up.

To understand how wild its legality is listen to Rob Maysey's description of the how any disagreement with CSAC's approval was stricken from the record when they voted on it. The fix was in.

Dana's framing is business as usual. Of course fighter pay goes up as the pool of money grows. The fact is UFC fighters are stuck receiving a 20% wage share while the owners keep 80% for themselves. The pay discussion has always revolved around the revenue split. Ask about that.

My preferred solution would be to just limit contracts to one year in length maximum and then let the market take over. This would also apply to PFL.

We’ve had disclosure of the UFC’s finances for about a decade now and yet the idea that they are barely squeaking by because of all their reinvestments is still pretty common.
