Thankful heavyweights in the past who made less money then Francis

[Yrat]

1.

Frank Mir 2004

Fightmoney: $90,000


2.
Andrei Arlovski 2005


Fightmoney: $30,000


3. TIm Sylvia 2006

Fightmoney: $120,000


4. Randy Couture 2007

Fightmoney: $250,000



Conclusion: Francis made more money but he is the one who is complaining and wants to leave the company.

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

Yeah, but the UFC at those times aren't worth $4+ billion plus either, with big global network deals and exclusive equipment sponsors

 

[Midget Boxer]

Frank beats all those guys

 

[Busgosu]

Add yer mom to the list

 

[honzo]

Might wanna check your fighters there mate.
Randy sat out for a while because of fighter pay and the video game saga.
Nice try though.

 

[Sweater of AV]

A second yellow is well deserved.

Also, lol at posting Tim and Randy. Even recently, Tim has expressed his "thankful" feelings...

Dana, weren't you supposed to put the belt of big Frank and attend a press conference?
Stop shit posting on Sherdog and start doing your job. I know you are butthurt that Francis' gamble paid off but common man.

 

[Bronson]

What are your feelings on Mark Hunt?

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Mark Hunt got paid much better than these clowns though, right ...?

 

[Anaconda99]

They did have no choice for the most part. Randy also left UFC for money reasons.

[MeatWagon06]

Really good stuff. You should make more UFC HW fighter pay threads.

 

[Pixel_Daddy]

Man doesn't know what inflation is

 

[The Big Babou]

WTF?

TS why would you take the UFC's side on this issue? You're either incredibly naive (that's ok, you'll eventually understand the problem of dodgy contracts and underpaid fighters) or you're being paid by the UFC to spew this shite. Take a time out for a year or two out just post in the War Room

 

[StonedLemur]

Ffs, this shit again?

Couture made bank, he got a $500k bonus on contract signing plus also:

"Couture also earned a $250,000 purse against Sylvia and $936,000 more in pay-per-view revenue -- making the fighter’s take from just that fight more than $1.4 million."

So basically $2million and that was in 2007.

I'm sure Francis got PPV money and he would've got a bigger purse if he signed his new contract.

There should be a subforum that is dedicated to fighter pay, haha.

Stop complaining about another person wanting a raise. Worry about your own life.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Randy couture complained about money the entire time and rightfully so.

Frank Mir is getting beat up for dollars in boxing

Big Tim is a broke roofing guy at a 9-5 job
