Having that passion is what drives us fight freaks to buy every single PPV. The PPV model is stale. Even the UFC knows that. Dana White has even stated his intention of eventually getting away from PPV. They need to draw new fans into the sport.
In the short term, loyal fans are struggling to keep up with the sport and its costly price tag. There are some exceptions to that, but mostly it is a title fight or at least some very attractive fight.
However, not be taken lightly and any UFC fan will know, there are some great fights, and some great fighters as well. Following the success of The Ultimate Fighter, Spike also picked up UFC Unleashed, an hour-long weekly show featuring select fights from previous events. However, UFC Usman vs. Burns did not have a total reported and is rumored to have finished under , buys.

If we say the average gate for a UFC event is 2 million dollars and 14 events a year that is 28 million dollars. While, 28 million dollars may seem small compared to the fact that pay per view buys are ten times that amount, the gate from an event can just about cover the costs that go into an event such as fighter salaries, paying the crew members , and setup and other costs associated with the venue.
That makes the million from pay per views pure profit. Now think about the fighters that we see the main event and co-main event fights. These are all of the very well known fighters. These fighters are being used to draw in the viewers, but the other spots on the card aren't used up without reason.
