UFC 200 fighter purses
Brock Lesnar: $2,500,000
Mark Hunt: $700,000
Jose Aldo: $400,000
Anderson Silva: $600,000
Daniel Cormier: $500,000

How does Brock get nearly 5x as much as Daniel Cormier who is champ?

 

[DavidKratos92]

I think Daniel Cormier deserves the most as most fans wanted to see him fight Jones

 

[RR]

Because he draws viewers and sells tickets

 

[RyanRAW]

The real question is how did Hunt get paid so much.

 

[DavidKratos92]

Because he draws viewers and sells tickets

yeah i know but five times as much as everyone else?

 

[Fahcough]

Did WWE have to buy the commercial space or was it part of the deal

 

[DavidKratos92]

The real question is how did Hunt get paid so much.

probably for fighting Brock Lesnar

When you bring money, you get money.

When you bring money, you get money.

But how do they determine which fighters draw in the most viewers?

 

[Byron Pechorin]

When you are the greatest martial artist of all time, you get paid.

 

[Ingjr]

Some funny pay structures going on here. AS gets more than DC? Is this bizzaro world?

[Noah]

Silva deserves more, Brock got what he deserved dont hate.

+1 They have no idea who tunes in to see who.

 

[Ruthless_RL]

Where you at Conor?

 

[BeardotheWeirdo]

Aldo, Hunt, Silva & Cormier could be getting PPV shares. Cormier and Aldo aren't big draws though.

But how do they determine which fighters draw in the most viewers?

+1 They have no idea who tunes in to see who.

The PPV companies and TV networks track that kind of stuff.

They know how the ratings change from fight to fight, in each specific event.

 

[Itachi Uchiha]

Nice to see Hunt get a nice paycheck.

Some funny pay structures going on here. AS gets more than DC? Is this bizzaro world?

Because Anderson has a better contract and DC can't draw a nickel to save his grandma.
