The ones who take the beating financially are the coaches.
In European football, Guardiola and Mourinho make over $15MM each. More than the majority of players on their teams. I'm sure there are many examples throughout the pro sports leagues.
I think that mma coaches make enough to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and wish they could afford to go to a strip joint once a year.
BUT! They rely on fighters who don't make a lot and therefore the coaches get diddly. Perhaps it is like the wise sensei in Shaolin temple who walk around talking Zen-speak and the imparting of wisdom is enough... to be paid is to dishonour the passing down of deadly martial arts techniques.
Is Greg Jackson, Zahabi, etc rich from coaching fighters? Or is it the gyms they own?
I think coaches should get at least a 10% cut of the fighters fee and the bonus.
Coaches need recognition and a full piggy bank.
(Apparently, John kavanaugh is still eating potatoes 5X a week.)
