UFC 121 Payroll ...................

These are the official payroll figures only. They don't include 'locker room bonuses' that the UFC pays to all fighters nor ppv points. Lesnar is probably looking at earning 3million minimum.

I also think people have to take a step back and remember just how many competitors are employed by the UFC. You're not talking the 30 or 40 that a normal sports team employs or even the 70odd that Golden Boy promote. You're talking over 200 fighters under contract. When you have that many fighters there's only so much you can pay each individual.

 

But yes they should never have signed Tito on such an inflated deal, he simply isn't worth it. Still such deals bring with them added pressure as they expect to able to use him in a position where he can justify such expense.

 

yeah but don't the 200 fighters only get paid for actual fights? if so, then you have to look at per fight pay vs the amount the event takes in. if they get some ppv points each then maybe not bad pay

 

Well said i mean what 1 million buys at around $50

So that means there was around 50 million to share around and the fighters in total between all of them were paid about 2.2 million were the **** does the other 47 million go.

That is a ****ing joke and Dana thinks theres something wrong with boxing.

Thats not including the Gate aswell as sponsorship deals.

Lets say UFC generated total earnings of $70,000,000 and the fighters got around $2.2 million of that to share.

 

Don't forget Velasquez, Sanchez, Thiago and Roberts all got 70K KO, fight and sub of the night bonuses.

 

No fight of the night or sponsor money included.

 

The UFC have a winners pay scheme. If you keep winning you keep getting paid more. However once you are an established fighter you usually get paid well i.e. Ortiz and Sanchez got paid well coming off a loss.

 

You are a hate the system type of guy. Huge pay days would see less fights and more fighters moaning. The top guys get paid well. Diego has just earned the 3 years wages in 3 months worth of work.

The UFC are paying for the sport to grow. The money has also been steadily improving for years.

So what where the pay per view numbers? How bad was the mass raping this time?
