"make more per PPV buy than anybody in history,"
"I would have made as much as I did in my entire career."
"They didn't want to set a precedent of giving me the guaranteed money that I deserved, because once I raise that tide it lifts all the boats,"
"They just made a 7.7 billion dollar deal at Paramount. It's in their best interest actually not to put on the best fights possible but to spend as little money as possible so they can keep it."
Ronda Rousey will face Gina Carano on Netflix under Jake Paul's MVP Promotions after the planned UFC staging became unworkable due to timing and broadcast changes. UFC CEO Dana White reportedly offered a PPV-based deal that would have paid Rousey more per PPV buy than anyone and could have matched her career earnings if historic buyrates were met. The UFC's new Paramount+ streaming deal removed PPV revenue, and the promotion did not want to offer a guaranteed fee to replace lost PPV bonuses. Rousey characterized the promotion's incentives as favoring cost containment over guaranteed high payouts for marquee fights.
