Media Dana said he'll never give bonuses higher than $50K ever again after last night's event

Of course greedypotomus was looking for any excuse not to pay fighters extra, and they unfortunately gave him the ammo last night. But even part of that may have been due to fighters having to perform at 4 a.m...

"So what?!"

Bonuses were 70-75k like 10 years ago, how tf are they 50k now?

It's like Dana doesn't get that making the performance bonuses 100k now would just be keeping up with inflation at this point, not some generous gesture fighters should be getting on their knees for in praise.

It wasn't even a bad card either. Dana is as bad as YouTube comments casuals. He automatically says any fight that goes to a decision sucked.

Allen/Giga should have been FOTN, and Dana is constantly shitting on Allen's fights even though they are consistently good.

I knew eventually he was gonna do that when everybody kept asking every card.

The beatings will continue until morale improves ...

I don't get why someone who puts on a stellar performance, fights their heart out, and gets that precious finish - something Dana seems to think you have to do to be a worthy fighter - would still not deserve a little extra besides the usual bonus, which as others have pointed out has been the same for what, 15 years? 20 years? Dana being a bit of an asshole.

 

[Fahcough]

No fight is worth 100K. Should be 10k for a finish or go home hungry.

 

[rjmbrd]

There was a lot less fights 10 years ago little buddy..

This is not only hilariously wrong, its easy to verify how wrong:

2014 in UFC - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

2023 in UFC - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

2014 - 46 events total and 503 'fights'

2023 - 43 events total 520 'fights'


That is a net increase of 3% in bouts.

U Fight Cheap is paying these guys peanuts, don't spout nonsense without at least taking a minute to google it first.

So what does he think of the current WW champ? And WMMA?

 

[Cooliox]

Anyone surprised that the psychopath is blaming 7 fights (14 fighters) for punishing the entire roster?

You don’t understand, there’s been lots of inflation so Dana’s fake snow costs way more. How can he pay for it if he has to pay more in bonuses

 

[Azzy]

The "So what, it's 7pm in Vegas" line is probably the most retarded response I've ever heard.

Fair play to him for that

 

[TrueBias]

It was bound to happen since it worked a couple times.


However, dana is right, apparently it doesnt make a difference.

I remembered that too and just thought I heard wrong or it was Christmas time.

"If you want to work here, don't expect any pay raises"

McDonalds corpo mentality. The quality will be getting McDonalds tier slowly but surely.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

All I know is, every fighter on the RIZIN card deserves a $100k bonus. That card was leaps and bounds better than the UFC card. Like I ate at a steakhouse and yall had McDonald's.
