The new distribution math: UFC's shift from PPV culture to Paramount+ bundling
Since its first ESPN deal in 2018, a five-year contract valued at $1.5 billion, the UFC grew familiar with PPV economics under the cable-and-satellite model. The UFC's major events generated revenue by selling individual shows at premium prices, often $60 to $80 per event, on top of existing distribution fees paid by networks. ESPN amplified UFC's visibility via integrated studio segments, weigh-in coverage, and highlights across SportsCenter and other properties, solidifying the UFC's place in mainstream sports media. This era helped elevate both brand awareness and PPV volumes. Now, with ESPN's contract expiring at the end of 2025, the UFC has secured a new seven-year, $7.7 billion US rights deal with Paramount Global . Under this framework, all events, including numbered cards and Fight Nights, will be available on Paramount+, while select marquee cards will simulcast live on CBS. The deal's headline figure dwarfs the previous agreement; however, the shift in delivery models critically transforms how revenue is structured and how audiences engage.

That model creates spikes in revenue tied to each big card but places purchasing decisions squarely in viewers' hands every time, a dynamic that can hurt overall event uptake, especially for casual fans. Under ESPN, the UFC's PPV model relied on both the promotion's marketing muscle and ESPN's promotional ecosystem to drive sales. The Paramount+ model moves to subscription-based bundling: UFC events become part of a broader content package. Consumers with subscriptions pay a flat monthly or annual fee, removing per-event friction but also potentially dampening per-card revenue excitement. The success now depends on subscriber growth and retention, whether enough viewers subscribe to Paramount+ primarily for UFC content, or maintain subscriptions long-term. Viewers get more inclusive access, potentially increasing casual viewership, but the promotional juggernaut that ESPN offered, a constant highlight of UFC content in daily programming, is diminishing. Bundling benefits, and risks for viewers and fighters For fans, the all-access model may appear advantageous. Paying for a single service that delivers multiple UFC events removes the pinch of paying $60–$80 per card. It supports binge consumption and discovery, a casual viewer might sample a fight night without extra cost, encouraging engagement. Meanwhile, broadcaster bundling aligns with evolving consumer behavior, favoring flat-rate, multi-content experiences. Live Events But for fighters and promoters, this shift may reduce per-event revenue spikes that PPV models deliver. Under PPV, UFC created direct event revenue and often shared PPV points with high-profile fighters, meaning big-name cards could yield substantial payouts. In the new structure, those spikes may flatten into distributed revenue across subscription tiers. Unless UFC negotiates more favorable revenue-sharing structures or views Paramount+ subscriptions as functionally equivalent to PPV volume on aggregate, fighter compensation dynamics could change. Whether Paramount+ pricing and subscriber growth can replicate, or exceed, total PPV revenue is uncertain, although the $7.7B rights deal provides a baseline. Also read: Paramount acquires UFC rights for $7.7 billion to boost streaming Distribution reach and exposure Paramount+ currently has approximately 77–78 million global subscribers. CBS remains the most-watched broadcast network in the US, dominating primetime ratings. This offers UFC both streaming reach and network visibility for select events. In contrast, ESPN's daily cable viewership and social-media promotions created constant exposure for the UFC. The shift may trade high-volume, event-by-event marketing for concentrated promotions around major cards on CBS. Although UFC may no longer receive heavy exposure as a daily feature across ESPN platforms, it gains access to Paramount+ subscribers and broadcast reach for marquee cards through CBS. Audience habits are rapidly shifting toward streaming: Nielsen reports that streaming has, for the first time, eclipsed combined broadcast and cable viewing in viewership. The model aligns with broader industry movement toward direct-to-consumer (DTC) distribution. The broader industry context The UFC's new arrangement mirrors a broader sports-media trend: marquee content migrating from PPV or cable-based packages to streaming-first distribution. This migration reflects shifting economics in content consumption, where maximal reach is nested in bundled offerings rather than per-item price spikes. The NFL , NBA, and other leagues are exploring or embracing similar models, often through exclusive streaming rights deals or app-based packages. For fans accustomed to choosing individual fight nights, this new paradigm emphasizes subscription maintenance over per-event purchase. Conversely, fans who paid only for select PPV events might now consider shelling out monthly for bundled access. Whether the shift encourages more consistent viewership or loses engagement due to 'subscription fatigue' will be closely watched. Implications for UFC's financial model The new deal represents a marquee annual figure, over $1 billion per year, solidifying the UFC's valuation as a global sports brand. It secures multi-year revenue certainty and aggregates the rights fees into one major partnership. For corporate leadership and fighters, that predictability offers benefits, but may require new compensation formulas. If previously lucrative PPV points disappear, blockbuster paydays may shift to salaries, bonuses, or share of subscription jump spikes tied to all-content releases. Crucially, UFC's leadership, led by Dana White, had sufficient leverage to command premium pricing even as they migrated platforms. But this transition tests a fundamental understanding: are consumers willing to adopt subscriptions rather than pay per fight, and will the model be more profitable in aggregate? Also read: UFC -Paramount+ $7.7 Billion Deal in U.S.: What's included and will fans face higher costs for live sports Long story short The UFC's move from ESPN to Paramount Global marks more than a rights transfer, it signifies a tectonic shift in how live combat sports are packaged and delivered. UFC is trading the PPV model, with its episodic revenue bursts, for a bundling model that favors subscriber scale and platform integration. Viewers may benefit from reduced per-event friction and increased accessibility. Fighters and promoters must recalibrate revenue expectations and value creation models. Meanwhile, UFC's success under Paramount+ will largely depend on its ability to drive subscriptions and maintain engagement without the constant promotional funnel ESPN provided. This new distribution math reflects the evolving media landscape: a world where continuous content access takes precedence over event-by-event spending, marking the UFC's latest chapter in adapting to streaming-era economics.

Apollo Hospitals shares in focus as brokerages hike target prices post strong Q1FY26 results

Nuvama also highlighted potential value unlocking from the Keimed merger, front-end restructuring, and a possible listing within 18 months. HealthCo's valuation multiple was raised to 26x from 22x, and FY26E/FY27E EBITDA estimates were increased by 2% and 4%, respectively. Motilal Oswal: Buy| Target price: Rs 9,010 Motilal Oswal also raised its target price to Rs 9,010 from Rs 8,720 while maintaining a 'Buy' rating.

From geopolitical tensions to growth opportunities: Siddhartha Khemka analyses current trends
Siddhartha Khemka , Head-Retail Research, MOSL , says Q1 earnings season shows good inline numbers with 8-9% growth. Geopolitical tensions are high, but improvements are expected after US-Russia meetings. RBI's liquidity injection should boost corporate earnings in the second half of the financial year. Financials, domestic consumption, and FMCGs are promising. Government capex has frontloaded in FY26, driving demand for infra and cement companies. IT is one sector that can be avoided for the next 2-3 quarters. Given the uncertainty right now, we might get a slightly clearer picture on Friday and then at the end of this month when a meeting potentially takes place between Dr S Jaishankar and Russia. How should an investor navigate the volatility that we are seeing at present. Siddhartha Khemka: Two different pictures are emerging from the market perspective. First is the earnings picture. Only a few more days are left of the Q1 earning season and more or less, we have seen a good set of inline numbers. We have got 8-9% earnings growth compared to a 6-7% earnings growth expectation. So, broadly, there is no negative coming out from there. If at all, some of the sectors and domestic focused segments have given a strong outlook going forward, that should be positive. Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 4 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 3 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals By Vaibhav Sisinity View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 2 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass Batch-1 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now The second picture is on the global front where geopolitical things are heating up initially from a friendly and almost on the verge of signing the trade agreement with the US, to a situation where things have become much worse. We are among the highest tax slabs of 50%. But again, several meetings are lined up between the US president and the Russian president. India on its part has steered up a lot of meetings globally. So, a lot of development, news flows will come from the global front. We expect that things could only improve from here on. It is difficult to say whether things will go bad from here but there is hope that there will be some negotiation between the US and Russia and that could lead to removal of the secondary level tariffs which had been imposed specifically only on India compared to all the other importers. So, things will become clearer once these meetings take place. Nonetheless, as you asked what investors should do, in this volatile time, it is better to stick to some of the domestic names. There are several segments that we like. We have seen interest rates coming down sharply from the start of the year. RBI through its various measures including the repo rate cut, the CRR cut and other lot of other provisionings has injected more than Rs 8 lakh crore of liquidity into the system and we expect that to start showing up in the entire corporate earnings demand push up by the second half of the financial year. So, Q3 and Q4 should see a big impact. Live Events You Might Also Like: Portfolio reshuffling contributing to market volatility? Deven Choksey explains Financials, and the domestic consumption theme should do well. Monsoon has been good. Inflation is at an eight-year low and that is very conducive. So far, some of these domestic financials, consumption-driven companies, and FMCGs could do well in the next two quarters. We have seen that after FY25 with its lacklustre government capex, FY26 has started on a strong note. The government capex has been frontloaded in FY26 and that has led to strong demand for infra companies, for cement companies, and that is again a domestic theme but coming off with strong execution and better numbers. Since you spoke about a whole host of sectors that you are bullish on, is there any sector that you are completely staying away from at this juncture, especially after the kind of numbers that they have reported? Siddhartha Khemka: One sector which we are a little bit averse to right now is the IT sector and from a near-term perspective because things are very uncertain and the numbers and the downgrade in terms of earnings outlook for FY26 does not leave any triggers for IT companies. Hence, I would suggest avoiding IT for the next two-three quarters. We will get enough time in the coming quarters for long-term investors to accumulate them.
