How many fighters do you think get PPV points now? Lorenzo said in 2011, 29 fighters got a PPV cut. When the UFC signed Eddie Alvarez, his contract was for $1 for every buy between 200,000 and 400,000, $2 between $400,000 and $600,000 and $2.50 for every buy over 600,000.

You can probably look at the rankings and put together a good guess... Basically anyone who has headlined a card, or who was a free agent they had to entice away from Bellator (Alvarez, Melendez, Lombard) and McGregor. There may be some others who got sweet deals
