Lorenzo: "Ronda is making millions of dollars per fight".

Because too many people perpetuate rumors that MMA fighters don't make any money.

Yeah, trolls like Rich Franklin, a former champ with 20 UFC fights, who is one of the smartest guys in the sport, who says he didn't make enough money to retire on. What a Zuffa hating shertard that guy is.
 
Pretty sad to think that if she wasnt hot, none of this would be going on right now.

yes, rich franklin, 39, mw champ 2005-2006, isn't wealthy enough to know he doesn't ever have to work again in his life.
 
Must feel good to all of the fighters that have been slaving away in the UFC busting their asses to be at the top. She comes in and already is one of the all time top earners (according to Dana) even though she isn't a huge draw.

Yup.

Now I am just waiting for someone to come in and say "Well, 168 had over a million buys so that proves she IS one of the biggest draws in the UFC"

Yeah................ because Silva-Weidman 2 had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with those numbers......

Pretty sad you think this is only going on because she's hot. Name me another girl that has a record arm bar streak, 100% finish rate, and an Olympic medal in judo.
 
why do they keep harping on this?

we all know that champions make millions.

we (those of us that read mma news beyond forums) know that Zuffa uses tournament economic theory payment structure (think if all NFL players made $100k and superbowl winners got $10m) instead of payment structures other sports negotiate with players unions.

and we know that Zuffa keeps more revenue than boxing promoters, because boxing has a multitude of promoters and Zuffa is 1 promoter. and therefore the economic structures are completely different.

so what, exactly, are they getting out of telling us again and again that Ronda makes millions?

Ah I see. So the top fighters make millions and guys in the lower ranks don't make shit. You're right, totally different economic structure than boxing.

Do you actually think that if she was butt ugly she would have all these modelling gigs and photo shoots to earn all this money? No. She would make decent money in the UFC for her amazing talent and thats it.

The only reason she is getting modelling gigs and photo shoots is because of her AMAZING TALENT. Without that, she's not hot enough.

And you think that's acceptable? Rich was a main event guy for a company that was making 100's of millions a year. He should be living like a fat cat for the rest of his life.

Its a combination of her talent and looks. She has both but without the looks, she gets no modelling gigs and hence much much less income.

Stop being daft.

Rich was champ when the UFC was losing 10's of millions per year. he defended his title twice.
 
Good for her but she still aint makin dat anderson paper!
