Have a hard time believing this is true but if so, good shit Rory. Make that paper.
 
interesting. a tad better than the reported $59k/fight he was making in the UFC (source, source).

of course we don't know any of the real numbers. but that won't stop us from extrapolating.

good for him.
 
happy for him. he deserves it
 
I hope gsp gave him the passive income talk like he did nick
 
Wow that's crazy if true. I don't see how Bellator can even afford that. They only drew 600,000 for that event. How can they even be making money at this point.
 
The prestige of having his own Fight Kit though......

Dat Viacom money brah
 
He didn't have any sponsors either. So he'll make more in future fights when he has sponsors lined up.

#DatBellatorMoney. Rory should lead the charge of courting fighters over to Bellator. I hope Lorenz Larkin got something similar. Probably not 400k but it's gotta be well above 100k show.

He's missing out on those reebok dollars though.

he's worth more to Bellator than he is to the UFC

how much do you think Bellator is paying everyone else?

i'm willing to bet UFC pays higher on average
 
It's all speculation but I am sure it's more than the 59k he was getting paid by the UFC. Good move by Bellator.

Lol at some people in this thread who are saying he's worth more to Bellator than the UFC. The UFC is the premier MMA organization. Rory is a top 5 fighter and he easily beat the current UFC champion. The guy brings legitimacy to the UFC. It was a stupid move by them. They should be cutting PVZ and Sage's purse and giving it to him instead.

Strikeforce did not go bankrupt.
They sold to Zuffa.

Coker would not be free to do whatever he wants with finances at Bellator. There are people that he answers to.
 
His stock is on the way up. I like Rory! Only 28 years old this kid will dominate for 4 years.
