Rizin Does Rizin pay their fighters well?

[Asurah]

No F'n way did that first event that weekend cost 84 million. Did they buy everyone's ticket and paid everyone $100 to watch it at home. Because I'm still not sure you'd be at 84 million. That is just ludicrous, 8 million I'll buy.

I think they missed a decimal. 1 billion yen is around $8.5-9 million

That is more like it.

Still pricey for what it was, but at least believable.

It would be nice to seem them team up together. And also work with Bellator as well.

Yes, teaming up with Bellator would be better and give them more chance of survival.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Hard to say. Theyre still growing. Events scheduled for the next three months, so they must have SOME money, I would think.

Rizen can survive as a mainly Japan periodic promotion. Plan a few events that don't overlap with other major competing happenings like world cups.

Rizin is still growing slowly, not exploding like pidefc but as long as they do better average ratings each year and keep it as it is now in a peridioc format for some time and team up with bellator as they did with other promotions already for the wgps it will become eventually as relevant as pridefc was talent wise. I mean as soon as they can pay more most fighters would try to switch especially the young talent. Im not sure how theyre numbers will translate into ratings when the mma market shrink stopy, there is less interest for mma then ever before, all orgs are affected and it started around the rousey craze. Just ask a boxing or soccer enthusiast they will just see mma as a place where circus gigs like mcgregor "compete" when theyre not blacking out on cocain. Hope this perception will change again over time, so mma can get again a higher publicinterest .

I think a year or 2 Rizin will collapse, you can tell by their number of events and lack of fighters.

One Championship is the new PRIDE, not Rizin.

R u victor cui or chatri? Be honest.

Salvador Allende? Is that your real name or the President of Chile who was killed by the CIA on 9/11? By the way. It was not a coincidence that it happened on 9/11. If you do a little research you'll find that 9/11 has occult significance. Many events have happened on 9/11.

3: The 2, 1's in 9/11 plus the 1 in your name.

22: Multiply the 11 in 9/11 by 2.

20: Add 9 and 11 together.

0: Just like the letter O in your name.

6: Number of occult significance (part of 666)

You resurrected a thread dead for six years, to get one over on a guy who has since been banned?

Y'know, I can admie that level of pettiness.

RIZIN offers good pay, most fighters make the bulk of their income through sponsorships though, as revealed in Shu Hiratas podcast.

strong = not necessarily means "paying fighters well"

But yeah, it did not collapse since 2018.

Nothing collapsed since 2018, except for Bellator.
We're in the equilibrium era of MMA

For this, I'll do a bit of research, that's interesting

not even, for the majority, its a pay to play hobby

It's more of a lifestyle where, if the fighter wins and makes a name for himself, he can make enough money to live that lifestyle. And, to be honest it is not a bad lifestyle for men that have never, nor ever want to work a "real job" and instead just want to do whatever the fuck they want, when they want, sleep when they want, eat when they want, party when they want, and train when they want and as long as they win a few fights a year, this lifestyle can be sustained. In some ways, that lifestyle is better than being a "real" professional athlete who, although making guaranteed millions of dollars a year, still has to show up to practice every day for many months of the year and play many games/matches. MMA fighters fight a few times a year and do whatever the fuck they want otherwise.

To be honest if I had less that I had as a young man, it probably would have been a way to make money I would have pursued and lived that lifestyle.
