Rumored Conor and Rousey's PPV payouts revealed in disclosures from the UFC antitrust suit, via Bloody Elbow

If the UFC doubled fighter pay, I think it'd be about right, if maybe a tad on the low side.
Nearly all sports leagues in the US do a 50/50 split. MLB can run closer to 60/40 if some of the top players hit certain performance bonuses. UFC hovers around 15/85 which is ridiculous. WWE is likely 10/90 because of the TKO merger which is truly insane.
 
Conor never made 10 m's for a fight?

I always thought he pushed 20 lol...


poverty company.

This only covered his fights up to 2016.

After he made bank for the Mayweather fight he got a new contract to come back and fight Khabib, Cowboy and Poirier and I'd be very surprised if he was fighting for less than $8-10m.
 
I'd say it's as likely as someone paying a 0-0 boxer 10 million dollars. But what's the likelihood of that?

You think Francis' marketability is the same or less after that bout? That's an honest assessment or just a fallacy grown out of a distaste for Francis?
Champions aren't making 30 mil.. you dont know what you're talking about.

What he makes depends on his opponent and that 10mil is about the max he is getting. He got that against the linel hw champ. That's the most he is seeing

His value is the same as before. He isn't a champion and lost.

He will never see 30 mil or more unless he is a champion against a high level opponent in a mega fight.

Do you honestly think he even makes 10 mil against a joyce,Zhang or Parker? Get fucking real bro.

I'm sure his khabib fight was at least 10-15 mil.
All depends on opponents and ppv sales
 
I don't really argue with anyone. Not worth my energy unless it's personally costing me something I value.

As the saying goes Don't sweat the petty things but it's ok to pet the sweaty things. Or something like that...

<{jackyeah}>

I have sweaty things and I barely want to pet them lol.
 
Pretty much what I expected. Randy couture and Eddie's contacts were released during that lawsuit and it falls in line with them. GSP also gave us a ballpark figure of his pay back in the day.

I remember Conor throwing around 15 million one minute and 25 million the next and Diaz supposedly receiving 10 million in their rematch lol

You also have to remember those PPV numbers the UFC releases via Dana's mouth are extremely inflated. When the UFC was trying to sell the company, they had a few actual figures listed from a couple of big events and they were leaked.

The numbers never added up between Jon Jones and Francis . Jon Jones was asking for 8- 10 million and they were going to pay Francis 8 million also? Lol. I've even seen some crazy ass people saying Francis would get paid 8 million per fight with his new UFC contract

Bullshit, Thats not what the Saudi guy (who's paying Francis) and Eddie Hearn are saying, they talking about Francis's next fight being 3 to 4× his previous amount. I'll believe them over goobers like you.
 
On that very same note, it makes even more sense why Conor was willing to make a fool of himself against Mayweather. 6.8 million vs Eddie vs 30 million guaranteed and possibly 75-85 million against Mayweather.

The same story all over again. MMA guys going over to boxing and making more in a single fight versus his entire UFC career

If thats the case the guy would have made 25mil against the linel champ..

If you think he is making 40 mil against fucking Daniel Dubois or a Andy ruiz or a jared anderson you're fucking retarded <Lmaoo>

I hope he does fight in December so I can tell you to eat shit. And serve you some damn crow.

These guys pay is determined on the opponents and what the value of the fights are. Maybe you're too stupid to understand that, but if he made 10 mil against the best hw in the world he sure as shit not making 40mil against a number 6 ranked guy with barely any name value.

My God, imagine if you ran a business!! Your dumb ass would be bankrupt and done with in a month:rolleyes::confused:
 
The courts aren't as infallible as you might believe. Especially at the billion dollar level.

I don't doubt these are the recorded payouts.

However, I would also expect the UFC more than most corporations to provide payments off record.

It doesn't add up. These are numbers stars who did half the PPV's made over a decade ago. GSP, Rampage and other stars have been open about what they made.

Conor said he made 20 mil for the Diaz rematch iirc.

Forbes said he made 10-15 mil.

I think there's more to these numbers than meets the eye. I wouldn't take them at face value.
What makes you think rampage or Conor were telling the truth? You also realize that the numbers are from the UFC's witness, why would they underreport fighter pay when they are being sued for not paying enough?
