Any idea how much an elite training camp like GSP/Hendricks cost?

[Diamond Jim]

Just curious reading the salary amount each fighter got. GSP made $400K plus bonus & sponsorship. Hendricks $50k plus bonus & sponsorship. How much do you think these guy pay for a elite level training camp?

 

[ajmonsta]

1 million dollars muahahaha

 

[countswagula]

A warm meal and ringside tickets for the fight

 

[Mma Adiction]

I think a fighter once says that it is like 100k but i cant remember who was it

 

[ranjitbasnet]

Depends on fighter

 

[shadownero]

Typically 10,000$ + if you are talking about the highest level such as the UFC. I would be shocked if GSP's camp costs less than 20,000$. I heard Mike Dolce alone runs athletes 2,000$

GSP just bought an octagon, that can't be cheap.

Rampage spent some absurd amount on that MusclePharm facility. It had a movie theatre in it for some reason.

musclepharm spent "1 million dollars" not rampage.

 

[JimmyTheHand]

Didn't fitch say that like 20% ish goes to camp/gym/management fees

They fronted the whole bill? I would assume that they would have split the cost. $1mil is a ridiculous amount of money for Musclepharm to spend for one segment on one episode of Primetime.

Hendricks pays 50% of his earning to his managemnet who pay for everything for him,but a standard fee is about 30% for gym fees and coaches from what information fighters release,Rampage said a training camp costs him 100k +

when they get to the top seems like it would be better for the fighters to pay a flat fee rather then a percentage

Let's hope they have enough for a ride back home and a meal as well after paying their trainers. :icon_chee

 

[KingMellow]

More then you make in a year.

from what i understand they fronted the whole thing since they are using the facility as their headquaters unless i'm mistaken and just hyped it up as RAmpages camp for the primetime, and the construction was factored into the million dollars.




They also gave Rampage a muslcepharm green lambo.



and as far as GSP, he probably didn't see a cent of that 400k. but he made a few million aside from that 400k.

Bout tree fiddy.

50% is a lot

 

[P0rkchop]

I think it was Brock who said 100 000

 

[KarateKickbox22]

It cost Anderson Silva money.

I remember reading an article that said on average 50% of a fighter's purse is immediately taken by taxes, training, management, etc. Really brings out the importance of sponsors and bonuses for the guys starting out.
