0:00 you see that Waffle House girl you did The Waffle House girl Wildflower is one of the best fighting rings I've ever seen I haven't seen that yet wait so is is there business model sustainable though Waffle House it's crushing him [Music] hi Nick educate us on the pfl oh the pfl is a MMA League organization and they're big is a ████ fighting League got him what's cool about the pfl is that unlike the UFC they do a tournament style for each weight Division and the winner of the tournament bracket wins a million dollars at the end oh and whoa whoa they
0:50 pay their buyers the tournament no it's over like a couple like a couple months maybe it's like a last man same night would be crazy old school mmas were like that is it last man standing style kinda but it's like so so if you but it's over time oh you have like four fights to the title and then if you win the title you get a million dollars but then they it's cool because they restructured in a way where they pay their fighters to be able to have a life and be able to compete for the million dollars and then like if you win by like a knockout you get like four points and that puts you up at the top of the bracket if you win by decision you get like two points or some ████ that's the way it works out good the way it works out is the guys who get finishes the guys that do really well they get incentivized really winning you're doing better you get the top of the seed clear Knockouts not my decision and a lot of the UFC guys that got cut
1:40 from the UFC have gone to the pfl and won championships there and won millions of dollars so it's like a cool thing where it's like oh if you're talking about fighter pay it is really cool to see an organization that is paying their Fighters nothing pissed me off more recently than watching that Patty the Baddie fight oh yeah and hearing him like basically Donald Trump his way into into trying to sell the crowd that it was a great fight he's like Fight The Noise Okay fight to the ████ noise and I'm like bro you won by decision and everyone thought you lost yeah he did with us fight to the ████ noise who who runs the pfl like who started it uh I'm not sure I'm not sure I think it was a guy named Ray cepho because he was oh yeah I think I think he's one of the president kiss boxing Legend and K1 before it used to be called World Series
2:30 of fighting and then I think they restructured the company into this pfl it was uh founded by venture capitalist Don Davis wow wow that is way off I was like damn I didn't know business business Acumen it was so crazy Ray steffo might have been like the Dana White actually oh okay okay you can bring them all together yeah yeah because he's a Legend um what's also mentioned here is I was like really is that check nobody fights for a million dollars and everything Nick just says wait wait what what does pfl stand for professional fighter uh ████ Fighters League professionals too late Paul and the pfl have co-created a pay-per-view division called called pfl ppv super Jake Paul right yeah super fight I saw he just got
3:21 signed to it which is a huge deal it's a huge deal uh and that is a division that guarantees Fighters will receive 50 of revenue from its events 50 that's a ton well when Jake Paul was talking ████ to Dana White about that stuff totally yeah so now he's putting his money over his mouth and this is this is the perfect league for him to like combine with to like talk ████ to Dana White whoa pretty good so Paul is the first fighter sign or to talk to another org about and now everybody's like well why don't you fight MMA fight MMA because an aspirin's there yep oh is he yeah he he's part of pfl now yeah do you guys think that Dana White's gonna give his wife a shot at the title the slap Championship yeah on TBS I mean not on TBS anymore but yeah so yeah Paul's the first fighter signed to the new division he doesn't have a match scheduled but plans to compete in 2023 he says quote I've
4:12 proven myself in and out of the boxing ring and now I am going to do the same in MMA and there's no limit to the positive impact I can have on the sport wow that's pretty gangster dude I like that it's pretty cool the path piece Paving is pretty gangster everything did you guys hear that he's also the communications director for the Cleveland Browns no way Jake Paul we got a knock and it's not food you sure I know it's not food why it's it's your wife hey guys we have a special guest no come on come inside just real quick just say hi just say hi what the hell dude [Music] what the heck wait how is this a thing she's bringing your phone she brought your phone dude I was taking
5:02 this ████ earlier she's like she's like what's she's like I'm trying to bring the phone what's happening that's so nice because I didn't even happy New Year wow thanks for doing that that's really cool hi nice to meet you yeah she's never met yeah that's right wow you wasn't a drink protein shakes you want some chicken you want to sit down you want to get in the hot sauce hey you want to get in the hot scene thanks for bringing my phone that's cool yeah you kept getting scam calls I was like oh you want to call them back thanks for not signing up to anything wow that's that is so sweet that's awesome that's love dude thank you you wanna go say butter I didn't even ask you yeah
5:52 [Applause] [Music] dude that was the most thoughtful thing I've ever seen my phone I didn't even like say anything to her tip would never bring my phone dude she would throw in the ████ trash the ████ garbage disposal dude none of them watch this show either all right so back to the ████ thing yeah oh yeah yeah ████ Fighters League um Paul and the pfl said they want to create a
6:42 fighter first culture with the new 50 50 Revenue partnership model for all Pay-Per-View fights there Revenue split is much better than what talent makes in the UFC where Fighters reportedly earn less than 20 percent of gross revenue which is true it's very true and the only guys that make all the good money in the UFC are probably the biggest stars the Stars yeah so it's still like regardless of your record it's just if you draw in the seats you're gonna get paid if you get the pay-per-view logistically that also kind of makes sense like you can't pay more than like what is you know what are you laughing at huh what are you laughing at keep going I'll tell you later I want to do derail think about Ryan I mean kissing girls right now oh boy is that funny funny so yeah also for the announcement Paul has been appointed quote head of fighter
7:33 advocacy and said he will continue to work towards a business model that benefits Fighters quote I invite all top MMA fighters both men and women to join the pfl and get a Payday like they've never had before see that's a really good incentive now there's competition in the marketplace with Fighters where they might be like hey once my contract is up I'm gonna go to the pfl like Nate Diaz his contract was up in the U.S yeah where is like pfl like compared to like UFC are we talking like NFL XFL are we talking kind of NBA WNBA like like pfl I think in a lot of people's eyes MMA fans that are like casual they kind of really don't know it exists but PJ masks probably yeah not even it's probably it's probably like like a like so this is what Shaquille O'Neal is like no Reebok military is no Nike I'm gonna go to Payless ShoeSource there's like UFC
8:23 Bellator yeah PS1 yeah UFC won Bellator and then maybe pfl with pfl is on ESPN how long has pfl's been around a couple years and then and then wipe out you see that Waffle House girl you did the ████ Waffle House girls one of the best fighting rings I've ever seen I haven't seen that yet which so is is there business model sustainable though Waffle House it's crushing everybody and then when you get into Waffle House you hear it's time once you get between those four walls dude you don't know what's gonna happen that's the tough part it's hard to say because that's what Dana White always says where he's like if you guys try to run this business you'll see why it's the way it is right right so who knows I
9:13 mean none of them have been as long around as long as the UFC and I think the way he does it it's like you kind of have to prove yourself and make yourself a mini star and then he'll give you a launch pad which is why the stars make hella money but in the beginning people get like 10 G's maybe a 520 G's a fight and you're not you're not even showing on pay-per-view so Patty the Baddie right he's a star he's a star he probably gets a lot of pay-per-view numbers for when every time he fights um but his last contract was like 12 and 12. so meaning 12 000 to show to fight and then 12 000 to win for someone who is as a big of a star as he is 24K is like that's how much you get to fight somebody in the case does boxing pay better because the audience size is bigger because that's the only thing that makes sense for me where like uh
10:04 like football right the audience size is massive even though if it's just the us watching it it's hard to compare because if you're up and coming like journeyman boxer you're making like a thousand dollars a fight yeah so it depends on who you're comparing are you comparing like star with stars yeah start with star middle are you like a right the Stars will not make as much as boxers and I'm not even saying like people who would throw their own uh fights like Mayweather I'm just talking about like guys that show up and get paid they're even getting way more than like a UFC fighter is it because of how long it's been around like TV versus YouTube or like I don't really get it it's equalizing now I don't know if box if the top boxers are getting paydays like the way Mayweather used to yeah well there's something to the waiting the contracts too because like MLB they'll pay people like four million dollars ████ yeah and then they they could get injured and still get paid and then the
10:55 contracts are really good for baseball versus like football you if you're injured you're out you don't get paid and the average is like 500 um yeah half a million dollars like the average player gets that so the The Benchwarmers getting a ████ ton of money in baseball is it because it's been around so ████ long I think so the contract's way more sick the contracts are long though in baseball you're talking about like 10 12-year contracts sometimes but like with UFC or or fighting it's like that person might not last till the next fight and that's the big thing the the person could even get injured in training camp and he's out the next fight but didn't Patty the baddie sign something with like bar stool and a couple other places so like six or seven figure deals so that supplements his income and then what he gets from the fight is like 24 G's but then he gets a bunch of other ████ for being like a big name so apparently there's a lot of controversy with uh era Hawaii is like the big MMA journalist he's he's great but he was talking about
11:46 specifically Patty the baddie's manager works for this company called um it's like the Irish UFC the cage Warriors oh and they are like Conor came up yeah that's where Conor came from they are the feeder system to the UFC so because he is the manager of this promotion this fight promotion of cage Warriors and he's the manager of Patty the Baddie there's a lot of controversy saying that like oh he's just kind of using you to get a really low deal for Patty the Baddie but the UFC gets all the benefit because he's a massive star and they get to benefit way more from how many eyes he brings to the show but then Patty the Baddie don't care because he's got bar stool Barstool is paying him probably like six seven figures is to be a sponsored athlete so they're taking care of him but if he didn't have that I wonder what he would feel like if he was
12:36 getting paid 24K with all the eyes he's getting interesting yeah that's the weird dilemma like he's in a really special place you know I I could see how a model with pfl with 50 50 Revenue split towards the fighters could still make sense from a business model I mean it's Revenue Spirit right so it's like it's it's in their actual net earnings you get a guy like Jake Paul to bring all the eyes to this promotion now you're now you're cooking with some fight 50 of whatever Jake Paul is going to bring is probably still a heat you know what I mean because there's some UFC fighters that are like you know I think Jake Paul's a ████ ████ but I like what he's doing you know like is it true though that that Jake Paul and Logan Paul bring the eyes but not the money in terms of people paying for pay-per-view see I think because the product of the boxing matches are just kind of like hit or miss it depends on who the who the B side is Right obviously we know Jake Paul is the a side but the last pay-per-view they did
13:27 was who do fight last uh Anderson Silva yeah apparently Andrew Silva's Pay-Per-View fight like didn't really do kind of tank it kind of Tanked right but I think it's because it's Anderson Silva and it's like he may not be as mainstream as like I don't know who and the novelty kind of wore off a little bit yeah and he's a 45 year old dude it's like people are kind of getting sick of Jake Paul anyway but this brings a whole new light to it especially if he's gonna fight him man isn't it like like because I don't know what I'm looking at when I'm watching UFC fights for example like I just see a lot of ████ dudes hugging and stuff but and like the Jujitsu stuff I don't know like but you guys but you guys are fans of it right and you know what you're looking at so like is it like maybe the mashup like for me I'm like oh ████ the Bills versus the Bengals that's two of the
14:17 best teams like in the NFL right now I can't wait to watch that right but then like for you guys it's like Jake Paul versus some clown like or or even Silva It's like that is not even a a competition I would rather do something else tonight yeah I think what it is it's a lot of that and I think that's what the UFC does really well is their marketing and their storytelling that's what they're best at so they I think that's why they will continue to crush because if you watch enough of their like UFC inside access or even their commercials two people you never heard of all of a sudden you're personally invested yeah yeah whereas Jake Paul and Anderson Silva they technically have an insane storyline there but it's just hey I'm gonna fight Anderson Silva hey I'm gonna fight Jack Paul and then they're just repeating that rather than having like a really good story to tell like if that was a UFC fight it would blow like all the seasons narrative would be like but also too for the UFC they have a really strong schedule of fights that
15:08 they put on all year round so if the fight's gonna happen in August you're already hearing about it in ████ June and may yeah they're pumping that ████ up and they're like yo so it's always in the back of your mind and then you always have something to look forward to and so it's like a steady drip of like really insane but even like the the drip of advertising that I hear about UFC stuff it's like the best versus the best right the heavyweight versus the heavyweight there's such a huge like anticipation for that because it's like ████ Unstoppable force and movable object and like it's crazy but like with Jake Paul versus Silva it's like it's like a bug versus a boot it's like who like you're not you know what I mean like I'd watch that but like you know what I mean like when I hear about that I'm just not jazzed for that it's like that's also because I think it's mainly for Jake Paul's fans yeah that follow him for him so if that's not sold well to them I think
15:58 that's why the numbers taint whereas I think when when anyone wants to do a fight for the first time all your fans are like oh ████ that's ████ tight that's crazy but if you do it like eight times and it just seems like the same gimmick they're like I don't want to watch anymore it's the same thing I always felt like it was because the Paul Brothers have such young fans that are more Savvy to just hack the ████ thing I think that's it too that too good point like if you're just a kid you probably know how to get it and you don't give a ████ but we'll just get in the free download link older people are more like hassle-free and they're like I'll just pay for it dude they know how to click the ads too they're like they know how to x out the ads in the right sequence yeah it's impressive it's really good they can get the X like right in the middle of the Cross whereas like idiots like me I click it and I'm like oh no it's fireworks down like I'll just pay for it I'm like I don't want to get a virus yeah [Music]
