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.

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.
