25k? Damn thats below our minimum wage from 15 years ago.
You will never hear of an athlete competing in the NFL, NBA, NHL or MLB needing to work a side job to make ends meet. And yet, despite the UFC bragging about its being worth billions, typical fighters have to take side jobs or even resort to crowdfunding.
Bellator fighters have 100 patches on their shorts? I must be missing that when I watch.again...what happens is pretty much. they're getting paid less from this orgs...but the sponsorship money is where they get more. you can put 100 patches on your shorts and banners for 100 - 200 a piece...and UFC which is the bigger org...may have offered a bigger pay out from their pockets but took away sponsor ship money which really help the whole fighting team of 1 fighter...

Training to fight IS a full time job.
You have no idea what it takes to become a professional fighter. At least show the fighters the respect they deserve.
If you're a pro mma fighter you're training 4-5-6 days a week, multiple sessions a day. That is a full-time job.
Yes fighters who lose deserve to be cut, that doesn't mean that while they're in the UFC they should be making more money to show. UFC is a multi-billion dollar corporation who probably pay their desk clerks more than they pay fresh fighters.

The number of people shilling for the UFC on this thread is staggering. I am reminded why almost no fighters post on sherdog these days, unlike when I first joined. I hope the UFC is at least paying you better than it pays the fighters.

Executives at my company make hundreds of thousands (because they are the brightest and best employees we have) the junior investigators and researches make 30,000 because they are just starting out. That's how companies work. My company does hundreds of millions in revenue so should all the employees make 100K?

Is that what Bellator and WSOF are doing too, they pay less dummy. The dominant company pays by far the most.
In fairness, your arguments are weak as fuck. You have this habit of saying something totally specious, and then when you're called on it you retreat the ad hominem safe haven of calling other people "shills."
I hope there are people in favor of improved fighter pay who can articulate honest points that hold up to a modicum of scrutiny. You're useless on that frontier.

Your company is merely one among so many other companies like it in the world.
The UFC is supposedly the world's premier MMA league, and its own President claims it's worth $3.5 Billion and comparable to the NHL and MLB.

You are not very bright
