Does anyone care to guess what the average percent of revenue the UFC pays to all fighters combined on a card?

First we have to put this in perspective.

The average revenue paid by all sports franchises in all sports is 50%. The average for baseball is lower slightly and the average for football is slightly higher, but it is around 50%.

In boxing the fighters on the card get an average of 75% of the total revenue.

The UFC has been paying about 10% of their revenue to combined fighters on the card.

I don't mind to pay Anderson Silva and GSP and BJ Penn and Chuck Liddell, but I don't like thinking that when I purchase an event the Fertitta brothers and Dana pocket around 90% of my money.

I don't mind them making money and making a lot, but 90% of my purchases shouldn't go to them.

This is a long way for me to say that I hope Trump and Cuban can put a dent in their market share.
