but I know of two somewhat recent sponsorship deals the UFC made (Cypto.com and the Rock's ugly as hell sneakers) where they didn't share a single solitary dime with the fighters in terms of revenue sharing. I doubt it amounts to as much as the TV rights deal, but it does add up for Endeavor I'm sure.
Now that I think about it, the UFC made another sponsorship deal with some beverage Logan Paul and some youtuber named KIS concocted. I assuming the fighters aren't getting a share of the revenue from that deal either, but I don't know for certain.
Also, $1.5 billion divided by the five years of the ESPN TV deal should be $300M, not $150M that you typed in your response to me, unless you have another reason why you divided the number in half I'm not aware of.
Pardon me if I'm appear to be snarky about this; I just happened to be curious about the power sharing of this deal and I have a fair amount of disdain in terms of how much Dana White underpays the fighters. That disdain may spill out in my responses to this thread.
