UFC 145 salarys

robbing *******s, supposedly they got 800,000 ppv buys big profit margin there

 

They only report the base pay.

As the previous poster showed, they get much more than that.

 

I think Michael McDonald should've gottin KO of the night, not Rothwell.

 

Che mills went to america to get beat up for $8000. Thats a joke!!!

 

I don't mind the $8k salaries but not for a co-main event. Che Mills got ****ed in match making and in money. That is terrible. I understand some guys move up the ranks quicker than others but there should be a minimum wage like $30k or something. I think Carwin got ****ed too cos he moved up the ranks quickly.

 

dana really does screw some of the fighters over. look at Yagin- if he fights 3 times a year for the UFC and wins all 3, on his current contract he will make $36,000. i know dana says fighters make money through sponsors etc.. for the big names this must be ture. but for the other 95% of guys i cant believe that they get that much. its not a great deal for fighting in the largest mma organisation, in what is a rapidly expanding sport.

 

The UFC should just pay their fighters thirty million a fight and go out of business with Affliction, Pride, World Combat Championship, Extreme Fighting Championship and Strikeforce.

It's a successful business model that allows the UFC to pay the fighters and continue to grow the company without causing the doors to close on the entire org.

 

Have you ever seen the salaries that boxers make on the undercards of HBO, Showtime, ESPN, ect... fights? Let alone the fact that even the top boxers have a large portion of their pay taken out for the promoter's fees. UFC fighters are WELL taken care of. That's why all of the best MMA fighters in the world strive for a chance in the UFC.

As a base pay for one night of fighting... that's awesome. Especially considering their sponsership money. Anybody who has any television time whatsoever on a UFC card is getting very good sponsership money. Now, considering that the UFC has been television prelims, ect... before the main card even starts... that only benefits the fighters that much more. We won't even discuss any fighters who also make more money off of the PPV draw. I am not sure which fighters have that option in their contract, but I know that those who do are making a lot of money that isn't being reported in the base salary that the UFC puts out.

 

i hate it when people go on about them getting their sponsorship money, locker room bonus and all that boolox, at the end of the day they done 800,000 ppv buys do the math the winner hear is zuffa not the fighters greedy ****s

^This. There are guys who fight for hundreds of dollars on boxing undercards. For all of the pissing and moaning about what Zuffa pays it's fighters, I've never seen anybody complaining about what the low men on the cards make in boxing on this forum.

I heard an interview with George Roop, who is on the low end of the pay spectrum in the UFC, and he said that he makes two to three times his reported pay every time that fights for Zuffa not counting his sponsorships.
