That’s a fucking shame. You are responsible for the greatest KO of the year in the premiere professional MMA promotion and you still have to work at fucking Walgreens. Guy just had a baby in August and since August has body bagged 2 previously undefeated fighters in exciting fashion.

The fact that UFC pays 10-18% of their revenue to fighters is fucking disgusting. Every other major sport pays close to 50/50 split, including boxing.

Thinly veiled CVS hate thread

Not really a big deal. Lots of fighters work a regular job and then train for a few hours at night. If you’re training over 2-3 hours a day you’re going to be over trained and will get injured easier.

I've been saying for years that these aren't professional athletes, 95% of MMA fighters are "semi-professional"

Pro in MMA is just a way to distinguish/DQ you from amateur status.

Fans cry about pay but this isn't specific to the UFC. Alot of pro leagues have medicore D-league/practice squad payouts and most of these sports are 5x more profitable then UFC.........

If it allows him to have health insurance or get cheap prescriptions, smart move.

 

[Fluffernutter]

What's his health insurance plan like at Walgreens?

 

[DS66]

I mean he's barely made any money yet in his MMA career, makes sense that he'd still have a part time job. Although now might be the time to quit and go all in MMA since he's made a bit of cash the last couple months.

Free baby wipes?

The guy is 3 fights into his UFC career with a record of 2-1... you guys expect him to be a millionaire?


Do any of you understand how business works?

Shocker, a guy who debuted this year and lost his first fight didn't drop everything at the first sign of success.

 

[JasonBrillz]

Smart, hes keeping his benefits and working still. If hes on a 12k/12k contract he’s probably taking home $5-10K after training and gym fees.

He needs to have a talk with Mike Perry to get his financial act together.

Capitalism for you bud. The best system in the world, but truly flawed in some aspects

 

[chitoortiz]

Give us Krause vs Buckley.

Now.

 

[GangGangGang]

He made well over 100k the last 5 weeks alone. He doesn't need to work at walgreens
