BKFC 41: Perry vs Rockhold 4/29 8PM

[Poirierfan]

Many sources are stating that Rockhold earned between $800-700k for his first BKFC fight. During his time with the UFC, Rockhold brought in around $200,000 per fight on average. Luke’s highest payout in the UFC was from his loss to Yoel Romero at UFC 221, when he made $485,000.

Perry’s payouts from BKFC have ranged from around $200k and $250k in the past. As for his Rockhold fight, Perry is expected to take home $500,000. “Platinum” made just a little over $100,000 per fight on average in the UFC. Mike’s biggest UFC payday was $190,000 against Mickey Gall.

I believe this is why Rockhold, Mendes, PVZ, Lobov, Leban, and other UFC guys will end their career at BNFC.

Not to mentioned they're allowed to have sponsors.

I dont think bkfc can pay so much money even the organisation itself did not get that amount of money for the event IMO

I believe it, every single ex UFC fighter has said the same thing so they all can't be lying. Plus, BKFC has multiple streaming deals, cable deals broadcasted all over the world plus sponsors, etc etc, it just isn't about the gate.

 

[Wizzlebiz]

No. By doing that it would be admitting bkfc created a star power perry.

Dana ain't admitting that.

 

[DOMMA]

Next time you get called out, just admit you plagiarized an article instead of doubling down as if it were YOUR nil research.

And learn how to spell knuckle so you don't say things like BNFC. BKFC is written all over their stuff for crying out loud.

It is not a term paper paper, just a simple post on a forum. Never claimed anything different.

Not sure if you heard that your and My country (Türkiye) so close at economic numbers???Becasue here everybody talks about we are as bad as Argentina lol

last year it was %180 lol they made present( one man) system and everything crushed

Perry likely better off as a big fish in a small pond. But who knows maybe they do offer him something they can’t refuse like a big pay day against Conor in an attempt to give Conor a styling win

 

[dogsdonutsdragons]

perry has how beaten a pro boxer, venom page, and luke rockhold. bet no one saw him in this position after he left the ufc.

 

[VAfan]

call me whatever you want but i'm kinda surprised this shit is getting sanctioned. i mean the ufc has rules and protections for fighters (like wearing fucking gloves) and then this other bush league org somehow gets to do away with them and look what happens. the guy no longer has teeth.

 

[SCTwins]

Guy is at the end of his career. It simply wasnt worth it for him to keep losing more teeth. He saw that he was not cut out for this kind of ruleset. It sucks that he didnt figure that out before he took this fight but it is what it is.

Didn't he get paid like a million for this? Seems like he just showed up to collect and said "fuck this" halfway through.

and now he has to eat through a straw.

Anthony Smith lost a bunch of teeth against Glover. We've seen plenty a tooth fly out in MMA fights.

 

[ChimRichalds]

I think BKFC does what it takes to keep Perry. Dude was made for bare knuckle boxing.

 

[Poirierfan]

Don't believe Perry would want to ever go back to making so little, plus he has sponsors now on top of over double the pay.

and it's not worse without gloves? it's almost a foregone conclusion these guys' faces will be mush when they finish one of these bare knuckle things. at least the gloves help.

I don’t consider Perry to be an easy win for Conor. In fact, I’d probably favor Perry in that fight.

 

[Poirierfan]

Go back and watch pro wrestling if you want stars you casual noob.

That's part of it, for people to become invested it's good that they know the fighters, it's not about stars or being a casual. The UFC is oversaturated with no names.

what if the ufc offered him more plus a guaranteed fight vs Conor w/ PPV points?

 

[IsNormal]

I don't know if we'll ever get legit sources.

But when Luke was asked if the purse was better than his last ufc fight he kinda said yes and did a "way more" gesture.
(Allthough you could argue he could've lied and said roughly the same "they take care of the fighters and give you what you're worth" even if he got paid less)

A random web sites says Luke got 200K for his last fight with Costa

 

[Morris88]

Chad Mendes' traps deserve their own thread IMHO. Dude looked fucking jacked.
