On a serious note though, jeez talk about overpaid for Saul Rogers and Lemminger. Their managers deserve a massive raise. Those guys could negotiate their way out of a kidnapping.
 
Lol I doubt those contract negotiations for Lemminger lasted very long.

"How much do you want Mark?"

"Well I was thinking it's my 2nd contract so maybe 20/20?"

"40/40 take it or leave it"

1. Polizzi at 18/18 needs a raise.
2. Ben Parish needs to get signed and hopefully move to 185.
3. Saul Rogers, Mark Lemminger, Kiefer Crosby, and Myles Jury have secret naked pictures of Coker.
4. Neiman is banking! Now, please make Neiman vs Storley. Stop wasting money setting him up in meaningless matches.
5. Glad Davis and Romero are raking in some cash.

Bennet was fined $5,400 but Lara only got $2,700 out of that? Who kep the rest? Was it split between Saul Rogers and Mark Lemminger?
 
He got a disclosed 150k straight. He got 150k to show 150k to win in the UFC. Seems like for some fighter the grass isn't always greener at Bellator. The Costa fight was 150k show 150k win to be fair and before that he was getting 350k to show but those were for title fights.
 
Yeah, but he can get all the sponsors he wants. You think he got less than 30k Reebok was paying? I kind of doubt it. There's probably a tire salesmen in Cuba who'd offer him more.
 
and I doubt sponsors are paying a lot for short real estate in bellator tbh.

So he made the same disclosed pay and likely more via sponsors. Sounds like the grass was greener for Romero in this instance.
A fair point but we don't know how much that added up to.
Going to guess it's more than the 10k the UFC would have paid him.

UFC disclosed numbers are never accurate. Fighters often get backdoor bonuses, and sometimes weeks later they get unexpected checks in mail. You also have to factor in ppv cut if they are champs.
