DeMetrious Johnson Will Finally Earn PPV Points

Chromium -

I believe the trigger point is 200k actually.could be wrong.

Some guys don't even have trigger points and rather have a guaranteed minimum.  So like X cents per buy or 100k, whichever is higher.  But I imagine MM doesn't have the leverage to get that kind of a deal.

Good for him

he deserves it

Does he? He is a great fighter no doubt and exciting to watch but he doesn't bring in PPV buy's so why should he get a cut?

Tony gets no ppv points.  I don’t know if Lee does.  But they are the real attraction. 

MM knows they actually have to sell ppv buys to get ppv points, right? Ferg isn’t going to draw a dime. Most of his fights have been shown for free, he is in no way a main event draw…sad.

MM headlining a PPV has among the worst buy rates in modern UFC history.

Ignore the names and simply look for abysmal buyrates. High likelihood Johnson was the show’s anchor.

Fight Dillashaw and I’m interested. I’m not dropping 60 bucks on this and no one else is either. 200K+ buy rate would be a resounding win for him numbers wise, so I don’t actually see him earning any PPV points.

The PPV points kick in after a certain number of buys. Does anyone think this PPV will pass 300k ppv's?

I don't think it'll pass 200k PPV buys.

MM is not a draw.

Ferguson-Lee is rightfully the main event.

Finally!

When UFC cuts to 8 PPVs a year the avg # of buys per PPv will go up so it's good that it's in his contract now so when he gets on a better card, he will get paid.

Flyweight is a joke, move up and fight TJ.

This is where Tferg finds out he draws like Mighty mouse and is no where near the star status he thinks he is.

I won’t buy a ppv with mm on it until he fights TJ

Morpheus1976 -
Steve4192 - He finally has the potential to earn PPV points, but I doubt he ever actually earns any. To do that, he has to pass a certain minimum threshold of PPV buys, and a Mighty Mouse main even is the kiss of death for PPV sales. The only way he will ever cash a back-end check is if he has a strong co-main event to drag his ass over the minimum threshold.

he is not the main event

I wish he was the main event so i could turn it off after the Ferguson fight and go to sleep

yep

I don't think it'll pass 200k PPV buys.

Werdum vs ferguseon might have helped it get to 200k

fergueson last fight on fs1 did below average for fight night ratings though. 

At least this will do better buys than if he was headlining against Borg.

Malvert the Janitor -

That won’t mean a whole lot until he fights under Conor or GSP. 

If he’s headlining he might end up owing money..

Hahahaha

Thankfully I’ll stream as always and won’t be giving him a cent

A cool $40 per fight!
