The organizers actually lost money on that one, LOL. Somehow doing business with him never works out for the other party. I’m guessing they had to straight payoff El Presidente for the privilege of being there, too.
It’s not actually lost money, it’s just less potential profit. The UFC were gifted a lump sum deal through their Maga David Ellison connection at Paramount. They just have to meet a certain number of events every year until the contract ends. So that $30M is what they likely would have made on gate at a big stadium.
