What a crock of ****. Neither of them deserve that kind of money and it shows that Elite XC was literally "banking" on the two of them. Not only that...Gina Carano only got $25,000 + $10,000 bonus and she's their other "star". http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news;_ylt=Aoe0FBtejYflfVdzQjF4Zzw9Eo14?slug=ys-mmaweekexc100608&prov=yhoo&type=lgns I was SOOO happy to see Kimbo go down. :happy Standing Roy Nelson up when he had control was bull****.
As was the biased commentary that stated that Arlovski won the first round when Nelson clearly controlled the round.
500,000 dollars for 14 seconds, that has to be a MMA record. Kimbo was exposed big time, he won't be getting paid that again any time soon. I had some one tell me they couldn't beilve Kimbo lost. They didn't think anyone could beat him. Kimbo was a media creation- nothing more.
AA must be the biggest wage earner in MMA; he was one the top UFC earners even when he was beating the likes of Marcio Cruz and Jake O'brien on undercards.
Carano got screwed, and sadly, it wasn't by me. Kimbo earning half a million dollars to get knocked silly by half a punch from a journeyman LHW...atsch
Kimbo is evidently much smarter that most MMA fighters including fans. He went from nothing to making half a mil. Thats not exposed thats business sense!!!:yep
I can understand Arlovski getting paid like that. Give that woman more money. Kimbo should've got paid what she did but really that isn't bad pay. Although she should get more after tonight.
Arlovski is top fighter, Kimbo is a big draw and brings in money, Gina gets paid for American Gladiators. They are all getting paid just fine and they all deserve it.
