In an effort to promote the movement to organize fighters, the Culinary Union has started a website called Fighters' Agenda containing posts supportive of the unionization cause. The most recent post titled "Women Fight Cheaper" claims female UFC fighters are "paid less in base salary when compared to male fighters."

It goes on to note that female UFC fighters earn 61% as much as their male peers and only 41% when Ronda Rousey's excluded from the analysis, far below the national average of 82% according to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development statistics.

Well, the war between the UFC and the Culinary Union is still on, but if any of this pressure helps raise fighter pay for anyone on the roster, the scrutiny is perhaps worth it.

It's evident that the Culinary Union is on a vicious smear campaign against the UFC due to the Fertittas not unionizing their casinos, but if recent actions from the UFC has shown us anything, it's that they're no angels either.

The disastrous Reebok deal has really antagonized the promotion, and this is just following up on a recent report that the Culinary Union and Teamsters Union wanted to aid in unionizing UFC fighters. How legitimate those intentions are is anyone's guess.

Lol, original argument there union lawyers. You're about 1 year too late to jump on that bandwagon.
 
Lol Ronda might be the highest paid fighter in the sport and Tate also makes bank. You get paid what your worth and the other ladies simply aren't worth a lot in this sport as of right now.
 
but do they make less than men with the same number of fights in the UFC?
 
what ts fails to note in the article he cites as source, it goes on to totally dismiss the culinary unions figures as utterly wrong..

the article clearly says that, ts just didnt bother reading past the first paragraph
 
lol, their poster boy (well, fucking ancient, decrepit, corrupt old man) got put away and they're still on for this.

I love how this shit doesn't and never has had anything to do with MMA and is 100% about putting money in their pockets.

That's Bloody Elbow's analysis; not my work/credit to take.
 
OH REALLY

fuck them

(the culinary bs)
 
I'm not on-board with Zuffa by any means (e.g. that rotten Reebok deal), but the folks over at the culinary union are a bunch of morons who need to stick with cooking meals.
 
How about you guys just make my carbonara and shut the fuck up. By the way, it was a little eggy last time. Thanks.
 
For a start the 82% statistic they mentioned is proven bullshit anyway. Secondly, one of the reasons women make less in the UFC because they're easily the least popular fighters. Why should they be paid the same when nowhere near as many people want to watch them? This is coming from a fan of WMMA by the way.
 
all we need to do is compare is how many Male fighers are in UFC compared to female fighters(much much much more men in the ufc so the male payment average is going to go up)(less female fighters so the average will go down)


the entire study is bullshit
 
Good

I doubt many of them actually even train if they get a fight with ronda
 
Guys:
get hit a lot harder
get more brain damage
more injuries
earlier retirement
more damage to the body and organs
higher risk
more knockouts
more health costs

Girls:
Can get a lot more money with magazine photoshots



Guys rightfully get more money. Ronda is the most overpaid athlete in the ufc.
