Dana White has given a final answer to questions about the wage after a temporary employment contract of $ 7.7 billion.
On Monday, the UFC CEO announced the end of Pay-per-view because of its 10-year temporary employment contract with Paramount and CBS.
Jake Paul was one of the many people who immediately wondered how the influx of several billions of dollars would benefit from UFC hunters.

Dana White confirms the payment bulb
On Wednesday, Dana White discussed the $ 7.7 billion deal on the podcast 'Pardon My Take'.
The UFC boss promised that the Paramount and CBS link-up will lead to his hunters getting a wage increase.
“If you are acting like this, we were talking about how good it is for the fans, it is clearly good for the company, but it is incredible for the hunters,” White said.
“We have always had a model where you eat what you kill with the pay-per-views.
“You just find out mathematically. It will be incredible.
“Since 2001, the day we bought this company, Fighter Pay has risen. Every new deal we have done has risen Fighter Pay. Of course Fighter Pay goes for this deal.
“Not only financially for the hunters, but also the amount of exposure now that they will get. More people can tune to $ 12.99 than for $ 80+.”
Dana White insists that Joe Rogan is not going anywhere
Dana White also addressed Joe Rogan's UFC Future after the $ 7.7 billion deal
According to Mma's most powerful man, Rogan and the rest of the commentary team will stay in place when the UFC goes to a new broadcaster in January 2026.
“Everything is good for Joe Rogan,” said White. “Joe Rogan has no problems in life.
“Joe Rogan did great for the deal; he's doing fine after the deal.
“Listen, Joe Rogan is not here at the UFC because of the money. He did the first 12 events for free.
“Joe Rogan has a time problem; that is all that Joe has. If Joe had no time problem, he would even do the fighting evenings. S -he would be with the Contender Series!”
“Everything remains the same as far as the team goes.”
