[Question]

Only 1.2 for Jones in 2014 is pretty crazy...

 

[dildos]

Only 1.2 for Jones in 2014 is pretty crazy...

For a fight with glover what didn’t really sell too highly isn’t bad.

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

Highest UFC payout: $4,374,326 for Anderson Silva

So that's where the phrase "Anderson Silva money" came from

 

[kingghidrah]

Brock fought once for $6 million and he couldn't even follow the rules. UFC should have claimed at least half of that money back, given it to Hunt and the other fighters on the card.

 

[VonSupervillain]

Damn, didn't think Silva and GSP were getting 4mil+ in early 2010s.

 

[Duke Kensington]

Only 1.2 for Jones in 2014 is pretty crazy...

$2,278,553 vs. Rashad Evans — Disclosed purse: $400,000

$1,566,196 vs. Vitor Belfort

$2,750,000 vs. Chael Sonnen

$1,173,560 vs. Alexander Gustafsson

$1,237,880 vs. Glover Teixeira

$3,637,500 vs. Daniel Cormier 1 — Disclosed purse: $550,000 (500K+50K bonus)

$2,677,530 vs. Ovince St. Preux — Disclosed purse: $500,000

He did better in a few other fights but still…

But they knew damned well Brock was juiced, and still allowed him to fight.

 

[Dr Fong]

Chael, Jones, Rousey and Conor in that order are the biggest relative victims of U Fight Cheap. They have been screwed the hardest compared to what they have earned the UFC.

Rousey earned about 18 million total in her UFC career. Conor earned about 26 million in his UFC run until the end of the Alvarez fight. This included 5 PPVs that did:

1.6 million
1.3 million
1.3 million
1.2 million
825,000

Imagine what Floydor or Canelo would have earned with those same numbers? Guy might be the highest paid UFC fighter, but he is still getting absolutely shafted.

I think Chael's cuckery relative to his shilling is worthy of its own thread.

 

[nostradumbass]

Only 1.2 for Jones in 2014 is pretty crazy...

Why? He fought once the whole year and the PPV did worse than Tito Ortiz/Forrest Griffin.

Saw this list the other day it was posted

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Is the ... one time 50% off Reebok coupon included?

 

[markys00]

We will never know how much they make

 

[orca]

it really doesnt surprise me
brock is popular back then and still now

you show a pic of brock and connor
to any people in this planet

theres a big chance people would recognize brocks face
connors not even at the same level of popularity against brock

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Makes sense why Conor McGregor was begging for that Mayweather fight. Guaranteed almost 5x of what he made and that doesn't include PPV %. If he actually did make 75 - 100 million that's life changing money. (Yes I know he had to share it with the UFC)

I won't lie, the Lesnar one was kinda surprising

 

[RockyLockridge]

$2,278,553 vs. Rashad Evans — Disclosed purse: $400,000

Imagine taking the least amount of money for an ass whooping from gustufson

 

[TGArthur]

Off topic what was Khabib talking about when he said Irish fighter 10 million Russian fighter 100 million (i forgot the exact figures but it was something to that effect after the fight)

 

[Unheralded Truth]

I'm calling bullshit on these numbers simply because it was basically official that Anderson Silva was the best paid fighter 2008 - 2012.
How come he's topping this only in 2013 now, the year when he lost two fights? That really doesn't make any sense.

The weidman rematch sold millions in PPV
