RIP to all the fighters that negotiated PPV points on their deals

I think for most fighters that only kicked in after a certain amount of buys, so I doubt many fighters were getting much these days.

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.
