Smilin' Sam not smiling as he misses weight & loses 20% of disclosed purse.

[HaulParris]

All this talk of “backroom bonuses” makes me blush and giggle. Anyone else?

 

[FrankieNYC]

But then they couldn't cut his pay by 20%

UFC doesn't keep that 20% lol

 

[JohnBergman85]

Does anyone know who deducts the 20%, the UFC or Athletic Dept? Either way I think the UFC should help him out and cover the deduction. He is doing them a favor and show that they reward short notice fighters(Even if history has shown otherwise).

Here is Sam's response...

Maybe they mean Emeev wanted the 20% and didn't accept the catch weight. Don't know if that's what he meant, just a possibility

 

[Danespina]

I give him credit for coming close and needed to drop 34 lbs

More than 34 pounds. He said he was "north of 220".

 

[Der Eisbär]

I don't recognize 90% of the names on this card. Strong wtf.

Thanks (I think) & great jpeg

Why do u always say “thanks (i think)” when i compliment you, am i coming off as sarcastic?

 

[Jehannum]

• Anthony Hamilton (256) vs. Adam Wieczorek (233)

wtf! I thought Hamilton retired after losing on Sep 16th yet he's back a month later?

wouldn't be surprised if he gets stopped again

 

[shino]

Short notice fight that he accepted 34 lbs. over 185. I think I was reading he took it on 10 days.

True.

I didn't realize I did that to you before lol
I apologize

It goes to the opponent if they agree to still fight
It's in bout agreements.
I'm sure UFC will cover it
He is a warrior for them

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

I really don't think MW is the place for him.

I know it goes to the opponent. I meant who enforces it?

Like I said it is in the bout agreements, so both UFC & the AC does.
If it is in an area where AC does not regulate like CSAC, NYAC, NAC, etc., then UFC does
But it is agreed to in advance by all parties

Awful performance against an equally awful Rashad, seems more interested in promoting his gimmick than putting on exciting fights and all around a failed funnyman. Not a fan.

 

[Private Whatley]

Isn't he taking this fight on short notice? I'm sure he'll be compensated somewhat backstage for stepping in as a late replacement against a total unknown, particularly given that he's coming off a win - albeit a shitty one - over a major name and future HOFer.

Makes sense, thanks. I always that it was the AC.

 

[is normal]

So he's gonna make like $3000 for this fight then?

Only if he wins!
