The pay-per-view model has been the backbone of UFC’s business strategy for decades. Fans shell out anywhere from $75 to $100 for big fights, while the promotion splits that revenue with cable providers and streaming platforms. Fighters typically earn a base purse plus additional money based on how many people actually buy the event. This system worked great during the peak years of stars like Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz, and later Conor McGregor, who could reliably sell over a million pay-per-views. But times have changed dramatically in the streaming era, and the numbers tell a different story than most people realize.<\/p>

The UFC recently announced a groundbreaking deal with Paramount+ that could completely reshape how fans consume MMA content. Instead of paying for individual events, subscribers will pay a flat monthly or yearly fee to access all UFC programming. This shift represents one of the biggest changes in combat sports broadcasting since the early days of pay-per-view itself. Many industry insiders believe this move could finally solve the long-standing issue of fighter pay, which has been a hot topic for years among athletes, managers, and fans who want to see competitors earn their fair share of the massive revenue the sport generates. Now, renowned manager Ali Abdelaziz has come out with what this deal means for the fighters.<\/p>

Ali Abdelaiz Shares The Harsh Reality Of Modern PPV Numbers<\/h2>

Ali Abdelaziz, recently dropped some eye opening truth bombs about the current state of pay-per-view sales. According to the outspoken manager, only one fighter in the entire UFC<\/a> roster can still be considered a legitimate pay-per-view star. That fighter is Conor McGregor, and everyone else falls far short of the million-buy threshold that was once considered the gold standard for major events. Even current champions and popular fighters like Sean O’Malley and Ilia Topuria haven’t been able to crack that magic number consistently.<\/p>

“UFC right now have no PPV star outside Conor McGregor. Nobody can hit a million buys…O’Malley, Topuria, none of these guys sell PPV’s. This pay-per-view thing is a myth.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
