MVP Confirms $40,000 Minimum and Majority Revenue Share for Netflix MMA Debut

The fighter-first pay plan challenges the UFC’s lower revenue split plus show‑win pay.

Overview

  • Co-founder Nakisa Bidarian said every fighter on the May 16 card is guaranteed at least $40,000 with no win bonus.
  • He added that each athlete will also receive a guaranteed performance bonus that varies by fighter.
  • Bidarian said fighters will take much more than 50 percent of event revenue under MVP’s split.
  • The Netflix event at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles features Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano with Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry as the co-main.
  • The model contrasts with the UFC, where reports peg fighter share near 18–20 percent and entry-level deals often start at $12,000 to show and $12,000 to win.
