Tuivasa earned 20k headlining that card lol

Fake news. Tuivasa's salary was not released.

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Why would they?

About it being the sports capital of the world. If you read the thread you can see it.

Then Bellator couldn't even right this wrong. As they are having MVP vs Daley fight in Connecticut one week after their UK card.

 

[VaskisRanger]

sounds like the UK needs a champ.

UK needs more kangaroos

“Melbourne has proven once again why it is known as the sports capital of Australia, if not the world,” David Shaw, UFC Senior Vice President International and Content said.

There was an article I just read again that based his pay on previous pay, so 16k and 4k fight week incentive bonus

UFC dying bro...

 

[AJ Garcia]

Don’t ticket companies pretty much buy them all and then sell them with a ton of fees on top?

 

[JayPettryMMA]

That's good and all, but the Marvel/Docklands Stadium that hosted UFC 193 held over 56k seats, meanwhile the Rod Laver Arena holds about 15k.

UK is kind of at a low point right now for name recognition in the UFC right now. Bisping retired which was their easy go to for setting up more interest in the area. And the current most exciting british prospect is in Bellator. So they might not be getting enough interest to even warrant bigger names as the region may not care enough at the moment so it'd be a wasted booking of a more interesting fighter. Whittaker has whipped up interest in australia so it's worth their time to make good cards as it'll actually get the draw they're looking for to fill their venues.

It's so nice of the GOAT Spider to bless this bum card with his presence. Kelvin and Bobby Knuckles should be thanking him for the red panty night.

absolute truth.
