In the Yahoo article with Dana White, Dana mentions royalties for fighters after they are done.
Quote "We’ve created a business where 15 years from now Chuck Liddell can still be making money on royalty checks,” White said.
“I can tell you this right now; Leon Spinks isn’t collecting any checks right now. He’s not collecting royalties because he once boxed on a Don King or a Bob Arum card.”
How many fights in the UFC do you think you need to have in order to get a piece of this pie?
DVD sales maybe?
oh dana
fryabusa - DVD sales maybe?
they don't get royalties on dvds or ufc on demand at ufc.com, or re-airings of fights on Spike ...... nothing... to give you a comparable......WWE they get very small residuals on dvds, but residuals nonetheless.. they don't get anything on TV re-airings
i'm pretty sure he's not talking about the videogames....
he's talking about the folks that have signed the UFC merch agreement...folks will keep getting royalties because most likely they will always be under the merch agreement... there is a revolving clause in the contract that gives the UFC the option to renew it indefinitely....
