When Georges St. Pierre was at the top of his game, negotiating for a portion of pay-per-view revenue came with the territory.
As one of the UFC’s biggest stars, St. Pierre was a driving force behind pay-per-view buys for events that he would headline. Like many big names, the Canadian was paid for those sales through points — though the exact amount was rarely, if ever, revealed. Moving forward, pay-per-view points will be a thing of the past.
When the UFC announced its new rights agreement with Paramount on Monday, one of the most noteworthy points of the deal was the elimination of pay-per-view cards.
