News Guaranteed purses and bonuses for UFC 298, as filed with the CSAC (via LA Times)

[rjmbrd]

That’s not true. The reported payout for Jon Jones at UFC 182 was $500,000. When the court docs were released it revealed he actually made $1.14 million. Keep spewing your fairytale nonsense though.

PPV share is not a 'locker room bonus' its revenue share per buy which is a clause in the UFC promotional contract. This applies to champions, and in very rare occasions, late career acquisitions coming from other orgs - Gilbert Melendez and Eddie Alvarez being two examples.

Keep up this is flying right over your head.

The UFC is paying 15% of total revenue to fighters. That includes every single penny of their compensation - travel, insurance, corners, per diem, even the cost of running the PI. These payouts being abysmal are exactly what they appear to be.

 

[amok attitude]

These are all pretty low

But let's remember they can fight 2 to 3 times a year, and working 16 to 24ish weeks of the year "in camp" while the rest of the year is do whatever and stay in shape.

Any of these guys making over 50k for show, means they living comfortably and if they are winning then they are making 250k + a year, again working less than a school teacher does.

Sure but you dont do that to be paid like a teacher

 

[Istryker]

Wow. These dudes make pretty good money.

New guy: you can fight? We'll pay you $20K each to win 3 or 4 fights. That's $60 or $80 K.
If you are still around after that, we will pay you a lot more.

If you have more mouth than brains, you'll be like garry and settle for $55 when we woulda actually gave you $100.
Still, even Garry can make a half a mil per year just by winning 3 fights. Not bad.

Oh. We also spray cash behind the scenes. You have a good night, we will give you more money. Ask everyone on the roster. They all know we do.

If you are really good, you can make a mil or more a year just from us, plus you get famous and make money from that.

If you no likey this deal, go fight for a different promotion. We hear one of them will pay you 6 million and make you king of part of africa. Go for it.



You people are all a bunch of stupid fucking socialists.

"Wanting to get paid more for your labor is socialism!!!"


Shit like this is exactly why America is lagging behind everywhere.

 

[tastaylvr]

Remember when someone said Jon Jones is making 10 million per fight?

or Khabib 50 mill?

just lol

What does that have to do with anything? If PFL can pay 1 million to larissa pacheco, olivin aubin mercier and sadibou siby(or wtv his name is, no disrespect intended) and whoever else I don't even remember the names.....

Can't they just pay Costa 1 million flat per fight? A former UFC title challenger who has a huge social media following, is ranked top 10 in the UFC, looks good on a poster and would be the 3rd most marketable fighter in the company by a fucking mile?


I hate Dana and would put him in the Gulag. But there is no fucking way that all these payouts are real.

I agree. I was just saying he never fights. 750k for one of the greatest the sport has seen in his weight class is crazy. They’re all low and the women’s are way too high.
California is a state that does do disclosed payouts. So this is what they’re getting paid

Because Costa is the textbook definition of unreliable. If he beats rob he has the case for a huge pay increase tho imo

 

[DapperDave]

How are you calculating that?

$110K per win disclosed, times 3 equal $330, plus UFC undisclosed after-fight checks, which everyone knows they pay.

Gotta be at least $400K.

So you are right.

UFC did not pay Garry at least a half mil the last time Garry won three fights in one year.

Prolly, they only paid him $420K.

In one year.

My bad.

Say. When is the last time that guy lost a fight?

 

[notsojollyrogerRIP]

Lol. Fighters still on a 10/10 and their most successful champ (on his sixth defense I think) is getting less than a million. Cejudo making 150 base is also hilarious.

Never change, Ultimate Circus.

Short people get paid less

just lol

I thought the Khabib $50 million was for a new contract which is usually 8 fights. Basically a retirement contract. I don't think he gets the full $50 million if he doesn't honor all 8.

Hmm.

The only place America is "lagging behind" is politics, because we have too many stupid socialists.

Everywhere else, even though we abandoned half our manufacturing capability, we are still leading the world.

When a rich guy anywhere wants a good car, does he buy an American car, or a Chinese car?

Sorry, despite our current suckass socialist leanings and our unwillingness to prosecute crime, where is America lagging?

All the parts of modern America that suck are the far left parts.

All the other parts are still raging.

Funny.

I always say, you people gotta get into a no-law room with UFC and a UFC fighter. And spout your shit. And UFC looks at the fighter like, hey, this guy says you say we are bad.

Video it.

Post it.

We all wanna see it.

If you get hurt for life, we don't care.

Not "we sherdog."

"We real America."

Oh, and fuck off you stupid cunt. Go get a real education.

You gotta think Volk is getting PPV points.
