A LARGE portion of that for US based fights is off of the crazy numbers they get for arena tickets for fights. PPV helps as most are $50-150 but more and more people are going in with large groups at home. But ringside for multiple fights last year with $10-50k and sold out in minutes. The huge purses are also getting fewer, larger but more infrequent as only a few names can draw that well in house.
