    I think fighters often ***** about pay when they are chatting ****. Some guys earn $30k and then comlpain. They earn a years wages in 1 fight. Alot of the low level guys get poor pay but they are nobodies. I think average fighters get paid okay relatively speaking.

    He is indeed a very shrewd businessman and that's why he only and will always care about what benefits the business and not the fighters.

    that may be the very reason that UFC is still around too.

    what you have to think is how much money does an event like UFC 94 generate for UFC?

    I'd say 20-40 Million$

    What percentage of that goes to the fighters? About 2 to 5 percent.

    So about 95 to 98% goes to the UFC. Its completely unfair and will lead to the emergence of other organizations
