UFC 146 salaries: Headliners Dos Santos and Mir to make flat $200K paydays

Oh dear Self ownage is amusing in the morning

 

very true.

These guys are being raped and milked for all their worth. Anderson had a small disclosed pay because he is one of the few who actually get a PPV cut. All the other guys like JDS dont get PPV cuts. The ones that get the cut are the popular ones like Anderson, GSP and Brock, the ones that get the PPV numbers up.

 

And they dont get flowers when they win :-(

 

Haggis have a fkn meltdown mate. Sound like a ****ing mug sticking up for UFC stand over business philosophy

 

200k for the heavyweight champ .
Far out one would hope he is atleast getting a million in these backstage bonus"s we forever hear about..

 

Hard to see JDS breaking a mil on this one at the UFC's discretion. He isnt guaranteed a PPV cut as some have been saying. Im sure he'll get more than has been disclosed, but if he breaks $500k with the discretionary bonus' included then he will be very lucky imo.

Just to put that into perspective

 

What? :huh

Who's throwing a tantrum? :conf

All I am saying on the issue is that none of us know what Cigano or Mir's pay will end up being. We all know that JDS will earn more than the flat 200k. But none of us have any clue how much more. We're not privy to that information. So I don't have an opinion as to whether JDS is getting paid too little, too much or just about right.

I'm not "sticking up for UFC" at all. I'm not praising them or condemning them. I'm just pointing out that scurla is a ****wit for acting like the UFC paid JDS a flat 200k and told him to **** off. All of us here know that's not true, but scurla wants to pretend it is so that he can **** on the UFC for doing it. That's dishonest. :conf

:hat

 

You are :good

Cringeworthy indeed

Ok let me try and get this thread back on track...BASE salary

As we all know by now, both Frank & JDS earned a guaranteed $200000 each, with bonus' on top, but as we can all agree nobody can be sure we know how much

Now to add a little perspective at UFC 139
Dan Henderson: $250,000 (no win bonus) def. Maurício Rua: $165,000
Wanderlei Silva: $200,000 (no win bonus) def. Cung Le: $350,000

So after bailing and joining SF, Hendo in his 1st fight back earned more than either JDS & Mur, and Cung, in his 1st fight for the company, only earned less $50 000 than both those guys combined base pay

UFC 141
Alistair Overeem: $385,714.28 (includes $121,428.57 win bonus) def. Brock Lesnar: $400,000

We all know Brock is the biggest draw in the company. But in disclosed pay both he and Alistair earned nearly $800 000 between them and both are known to take a cut of the PPV home guaranteed as well. Not bad for a Non Title fight

UFC 143
Carlos Condit ($55,000 + $55,000 = $110,000) def. Nick Diaz ($200,000)
Fabricio Werdum($100,000 + no win bonus) def. Roy Nelson ($20,000)
Again, the former WEC and now UFC guy in Condit earns substantially less than the guy who fought for SF and bailed on his title fight with GSP. And Werdum v Nelson speaks for itself really

So what does that tell us. Do the guys who come in from outside the Zuffa umbrella know something the UFC company men like Mur and Junior dont when they are negotiating their deals?

Or is this an admission that Strikeforce was better at building box office draws than Zuffa is with guys who've practically spend the last few years fighting for them?

 

still don't understand the super secrecy behind the UFC paydays even if JDS made a million it is still way too low considering what the Klitschko's make per fight and other Champions. Hell you have mediocre Heavyweight contenders in Boxing making 1 mil for a title shot.

These MMA guys other than a select few like Lesnar, Silva, St Pierre, and a few other Dana White favorites are getting railroaded Carwin got 45k for his fight against Lesnar :roflatsch


I mean if the UFC is so popular they should be paying top dollar to all fighters.
