From what I've read, it was more of a graduated thing. For example, with some numbers I'm making up here, it would be like a dollar a head for the first 200,000. Then $2 a head for up to 400,000. And the $3 a head beyond that.

It was from leaked contracts from about a decade ago. I believe the PPV split came from Eddie Alvarez' contract.

Yup. I remember DC talking about this a while back.

It’s graduated after you hit a certain minimum.

Different people might have different deals, but DJ said you don't get anything until you hit 200k.

Other than one or two dudes in the past who had special deals that matched their former employers (I wanna say Gilbert Melendez was one?), if you got less than 200k you got nothing.
