Anyone know the %'s? I've heard of Lesnar and Sonnen making millions of dollars, but nothing ever concrete. Anyone has any insight into how % of PPV Revenue is divied up between the 2 Main Event fighters? Also, do they get a % of the gate?

Every fighter negotiates the rate in his contract, with the mid tier and lower fighters getting nothing. Obviously Lesnar had a high rate coming in due to publicity. I'd assume any fighter fighting for the title would get a slice of the PPV. That is why Anderson's manager didn't want a fight with Weidman, the PPV revenue for a fight with Weidman would be far less than against GSP.
You can bet that any fighter who normally gets a slice of revenue from PPV would get some sort of compensation for fighting on a free TV card.
*All speculation.

From what I've heard is that the few fighters that get a cut of the PPV's only gets a percentage of the sales over a certain amount of PPV's. Such as after 500K so and so fighter will get ?% of each buy. There's not much information on it. And I don't think too many fighters are in this category. The obvious ones are Silva, GSP, & Jones. I'm pretty sure Chuck did back in the day too.

The only numbers I've read are from Overeem. He made $2 per PPV buy for his fight with Brock.

It sounds like Overeem got abou 4%....maybe Sonnen gets a little more in return for hyping the s--- out of a card.....Maybe Lesnar got something like 4% too.

UFC should simply increase Andersons paycheck so he will take the Weidman fight. Its not like Dana cant afford it.

Good question. GSP has stated he makes 4 to 5 million per fight(imagine the other money he has coming in through endorsements and whatnot!). He didn't say if that includes sponsors or not, but I'd like to assume so. If you look at what's reported to the commission, it seems like he would be pulling in at least $3 per buy. That's obviously just guessing, but seems pretty fair.
I also remember reading an article quite awhile back where White said something along the lines of 20 or so of his fighters were making one million plus per year. I'd imagine that number has jumped up quite a bit, too. Seems to be fair to think that quite a few of these guys are getting at least $1 per ppv thrown in where as the likes of GSP, Lesnar, Liddell(when he fought) and maybe even Jones and Silva(and so on) are getting a hefty fee per buy.

I remember reading an article ~1 year ago, and it estimated GSP's earnings at $3 per ppv sold in excess of 250K. Just an estimated number, but it seemed they knew what they were getting at.

I bet not all of them make cuts, unless they have it in their contract.
I guarantee you all of the big name fighters like Overeem, Anderson, Rampage, Jones, Sonnen, Evans, GSP, BJ and others make a cut from it but I doubt Barao got any cut, does that make sense?
But who knows
