News Khamzat Chimaev has made over $230,000 in less than 10 minutes of Octagon Time

[avid1]

How many fights on his contract? Good for him that he got to join the UFC as he obviously is of UFC caliber, but now it must suck getting 12/12 when he for sure attracts more viewers than many others. I'm guessing that Dana keeps him happy, not only with fights but also some locker room bonuses. Good for him, he has deserved it. I hope he just chills a bit with the trash talk a bit.

He made 10/10,12/12 for his first two fights. He's already making 26/26 for GM3 fight.
With his turnaround and how much dana likes him, he'll be rich in no time.

You don't get underpaid when you're actually good


Take notes, Journeyman George MasDIVAl

But he’s now earning millions per fight... so by your logic he must be good? Not sure what you were attempting here...

The job isnt only in the octagon. Its years and years of training without earning anything.

A craftman earns experience as he does jobs for clients. A fighter has to train and THEN gets paid if he fights.

230k is shit. Sweden probably taxed him 40 percent.

 

[Vile]

230k is shit. Sweden probably taxed him 40 percent.

Still he makes over 3 times the salary that average doctor makes per year in Sweden.

 

[Chok Sok Te]

Has he disclosed how many fights he has left remaining on that shitty deal?

 

[avid1]

230k is shit. Sweden probably taxed him 40 percent.

What job prospects do you think he got outside of fighting? Do you think he made more than 2k a month? Now he's making 100k in a weekend. Seems pretty good.

Money shouldn't really be a concern now, he's just started his career. Already 660k instagram followers, he'll have an easy time making huge amounts of money both in and outside of UFC.

Get Ws and money!

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

What a way to make a living. Lucky guy

 

[kimocomplex]

What an opportunity!!

 

[nebulousned]

I'm sure he's spent 1000s of hours working to get into this position though, and many hours in the gym each week.

He absolutely deserves it, so good for him.

 

[Rocket Punch]

and he's already gonna renegotiate his contract after the next one, which could be in a few weeks on Fight Island, before the Maia fight

 

[hunt12]

One or bellator should throw shit loads of money lol. He can make bank fight 6 times in 6 months an bail back to ufc this time next year

 

[electricfuneral]

I can buy a can opener in the shop for 2 dollars

I will save you a seat on the bandwagon when he turns out to be the real shit

 

[Kono dio da!]

What the fuck is this? That's bullshit pay for an athlete of his caliber. So he needs reebok, show, win AND performance bonus to come up with that? Cm punk, on the other hand got 500k for his debut.

 

[Tito Tapped]

You know what's worse than MMA math?

MMA financial math

 

[mmadeewana]

And guess what doesnt pay rent because he sleeps in the gym,ROFL what a hero.

 

[mmadeewana]

And yet he still lives at the gym

Saves money,you dont become rich by throwing money around

 

[pamirec]

He’ll be fine, Ali the goatmanager is his manager.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

But he’s now earning millions per fight... so by your logic he must be good? Not sure what you were attempting here...

He sits out and demands more pay

A youngsters, if you wanna make money in mma you must smesh any and all competition. Then tell the promotions to triple book you only to smesh.
