    Thanks man.

    this is the guarunteed purse? No bonuses? No incentives?

    They all make a shitload off endorsements also I'm assuming.

    How can Vera possibly be making more than Franklin?

    UFC seems to be paying these guys like ****.

    No training expenses and no insurance coverage other than that obtained during the fight.

    When the gov gets their part, you can cut those figures about in half. Really pathetic when you consider what they put on the line. DAM

    Most fighters train in team facility, so it doesn't cost too much. The only real costs for training are coaches and medical bills.
