    haha whatever dummy... Dos Santos- Mir was a fight on the feet... Cain Took Silva down and beat the hell out of him. It didn't look like homosexuals rolling on the ground.. It looked like a Lion eating his prey... Primal ****!

    I said this earlier in the thread but no one listened, so i'll try again, to save you all arguing when it's pointless

    the disclosed paydays DO NOT include PPV bonuses, that is common knowledge, and has been confirmed many times over by the UFC, dana white, the nevada state athletic commission and several fighters themselves.

    So we don't know for sure what the top guys are making, but you can safely bet it's a hell of a lot more than what is being disclosed.

    Just done a little research (took all of 2 minutes)

    and found info from a very credible MMA website that reports that 29 current ufc fighters have PPV bonuses wrote into their contract.

    Also, GSP made $4.4 million from his last fight with his PPV bonus added.

    Not exactly Mayweather money, but not peanuts either.

    Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any other "locker room" or special bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. They also do not include portions of the pay-per-view revenue that some top-level fighters receive.

    In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.


    ^^ Taken from the UFC website itself, so no you guys, GSP and Anderson Silva aren't making $100k per fight.

    Well,the UFC wouldn't lie to you,would they?It also doesn't include the incredible costs to the fighters training camp.UFC pays **** and the company keeps it all "in house".
    Where else do these fighters go to make a living?They are ****ed until the unionize.Then the UFC will sell.

    What's wrong with these payday? This is actually a good pay for most of the ufc fighter. Most of them made more than 10,000 in this fight. The only surprise part was why dos santos didn't get no bonus for the knockout win.

    This ain't boxing where fighters get paid millions. The only fighter that i know that ever got paid over a million in an MMA fight was fedor emilinanenko.
