Fighter pay question

[TMAN29]

Saw a post on here that was commenting on dana paying over a million for his sons 16th bday. On there certain sherdoggers posted they wouldnt fight for less than six figures, while some said it would have to be more than 500k a yr.

So look at someone like norman parke for example, fought a bit over 3 yrs in ufc and was a mid card level fighter going 5-3-1. Was cut becuase of his wrestlefuck style more than anything imo. But national judo and wrestling champ and talented athlete. That equated to maybe 100k a yr....

My question for you guys is this, how much do you believe it would take for you to risk your health to fight in the big leauges?

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Guessing since I am not Punk and have no professional experience… 10k - 10k...

 

[WHITE ANDERSON]

wouldn't fight for under Anderson Silva money

 

[aashmore]

I would need at least tree fidy

 

[joeyjoejoe]

The cost of bus fare and a hot meal.

You'd fight for free?

25k - 25k, but let's be real. If I'm in the UFC, I'd take turinabol and become the next Jon Jones in a few weeks. Also be getting that fire reebok sponsor money.

[Dead Kennedy]

Sorry but I had to...

I'd fight Damian Maia for $2000.

He'd tap me out in under 30 seconds while landing just one jab.

who care what a man worth half a billion does for his im sure spoiled bart of a son.

For most people, it depends on what their other options are. Amateurs do it for free, guys in small promotions do it for very little, journeymen boxers make shit. There are plenty of people with real jobs who train just because with no aspirations of making money from it. If you didn't have any other way to make better money, it wouldn't take that much and fighters also get tons of vacation.

 

[smiles mma]

56/56. 8 fight contact. Maybe I'll lose so bad on the first one they'll buy me out

[The Domin8or]

I'll agree to fight amybody for tree fiddy

I would fight ortega and i would go for an imanari roll in the first second of the fight

 

[TMAN29]

I would do it and am considering it. 5'9 200, 75 inch reach, purple belt level ground game, with striking being my primary skill. But I'm 32, 3 kids, and married. 0-1 as a pro and have been out of the game for 3.5 years. Some info about where I'm coming from.
