Michelle Waterson Got Paid $15k/$15k Show/Win for a Main Event

Meanwhile, Sage gets paid $60k for quick tapping like a bitch.
 
that is really low guaranteed money for a main even. Fortunately she made 50k for submission of the night. so in the end 80k is not too bad.
 
Are fighters contracted to make more in a main event? If a contract is a flat rate regardless then it shouldn't be surprising. Either pay more IN GENERAL or don't put those kind of level fighters in the main event
 
"I bet the guy who ran in slow motion through the convenience store in the Bud Light ads they kept playing got paid more than that."

--From this week's CME podcast
 
Why pay the world-talent guys hundreds of thousands of dollars when you can throw 15k at an attractive woman and get better TV ratings? #wmebless #hollywoodelite #liberalismwillbethedeathofmma
This has nothing to do with liberalism.
 
Had only one fight in the UFC and that was like 10 years ago
A bit short to ask for more $$$$

<{nope}>
That goes out the window when it's a nationally televised card and you're the main event. And if she wasn't a draw why is she the main event? These fighters are fools for continuing to accept this kind of pay.
 
Her bonus was 15k only ? Fuck. That's some bullshit.

It seems you get paid from how much popular you are.
Duh? That's the whole point. This exists purely for our entertainment.
 
Which lines up with Ari's strategy of being an Ultimate Fucking Cheapskate
Come now, you know no mainstream company will be able to get away with profanity in it's company name.

Clearly, you meant "Ultimate Financial Conservation"
 
Meanwhile, Sage gets paid $60k for quick tapping like a bitch.
Yeah this shit is just a joke anymore. Sage gets all these opportunities and pay because what, he's blond and good looking? The kid is a glorified karate point fighter right now!

But long enough to win the main event by stoppage.

Yep I hear you guys and I m not saying that this is enough money
But imo in the UFC's mind, PVZ was the main event, the DWS celebrity fighting an internet kind of celebrity and maybe they thought this was the sole gimme fight for PVZ.
Epic fail on them and Karate Hottie should ahve ask for, at least, a better win bonus.
 
Honestly unless ufc pays dramatically increases, the sport will never have top level athletes come over.

Base pay honestly should be a minimum of 20k/20k with a 5k increase if you win your next fight. (this should be the lowest contract out there).

Getting paid 10k/10k as a start for months of training, injuries, no 401k, shit insurance, etc. is an absolute joke.

MMA is such a horrible job path for 99%of fighters imo
 
Duh? That's the whole point. This exists purely for our entertainment.
This is the kind of fan UFC loves

Only see fighters as beings that purely exists for their entertainment.

There's not a human being there with a family to take care of.

How much she busted her ass in camp and gave us such a great performance shouldn't matter, it shouldn't rase her gains right ? is her fault for not being more popular going into the fight right ? Is ALL about popularity, you can fight like an aidetic monkey and still make a shitload if you're popular enough ?That's fair for you ?
