Ariel Helwani Says UFC Purse Bumps Aren’t Automatic After PPV Exit

Helwani claimed fighters' managers confirmed no uniform purse bumps after UFC’s PPV exit into Paramount: “case by case,” with veterans and champs not automatically raised. He adds PPV-point replacements hinge on past draws and international buys, but “right now there is no absolute… draw.” One outlier: McGregor. A White House return would be “tricky”: “No gate. No PPV… no sponsors.”
