Ari Emanuel on #UFC compensation: First of all, you can't think of me like football and basketball. You gotta think of me as an individual sport, whether that be tennis, golf, etc. And we're right in line with the economics there.

Two is, I don't remember the date cause we went back and we looked at dates. Our revenues increased by 21%. Our fighter comp went up 26%. In addition...that's just on the fighting side. In addition, they make money on the kit, playing cards, NFTs.
I've also spent for their health in the area of the Performance Institutes. We have a meals program for them. We now have a Performance Institute in China and we're looking to other locations, like Mexico and the Middle East,
just to make sure that they're in tiptop shape as this sport grows. You know, we're only 28 years old in, as a business and we've really devoted a lot of time to spending for their health, plus we've given them other opportunities to make money.
Plus sponsorship we're helping them growing. So I feel very good...when you relate it to individual sports.
