so what. the lowest paid in the ufc are the same as bellator and people tried yelling that the ufc needed to show fighters respect.
who cares. people on ufc prelims were making 5k for a while and people got mad about it.
Probably because the UFC is worth $4 billion. Bellator is not...
you do know Viacom is a 40 billion cable giant right.
But, Bellator doesn't generate the revenue that makes Viacom a $40 billion dollar company. In fact, Bellator might be even be cutting into that value by being a money-losing venture based on how much money they are investing in free agents and what they get in return from advertising revenue.
These numbers seem weird, Rory got 400k show for his last fight, why would that drop down to 100k? Unless they structured payment to avoid Cali taxes or something..
The difference is that Bellator fighters can have sponsorship. Think of it like a waiter who gets tips. Low base pay, but perks for good service
The thing is Bellator operates on the different model from the UFC. Bellator prelims are typically just local guys with shit records, and will never fight on a main card.so where are all the people who called the ufc trash for paying people no money.
look at all the people making 1500 or 4000 on this event.

Viacom gives scott coker a blank check to sign any one he wants. all they care about are big rating and the ydid almost 2 million views on sat

The difference between a UFC main card and prelims is about nil.
I should clarify. Bellator's prelims are a mix of legit fighters and local nobodies.so joey davis is a bum
This. Idk why people are trying to pretend that undercard guys in the UFC and Bellator are the same.I should clarify. Bellator's prelims are a mix of legit fighters and local nobodies.
