News Miesha Tate says that she spent 98% of her return fight purse covering training expenses

[r-harper-1]

She’s a idiot and looked like complete shit in her fight ..... kitchen is calling

 

[Blayt7hh]

I don’t believe her on two level. I think she made more than 200k. That is just what was disclosed to us. I also think she walked away with more than 2% of whatever she actually made.
But I do believe she probably lost an obscene amount of whatever she made. That is common for fighters

 

[cmw43]

I don't now why this is some sort of revelation. Most fighters probably lose a lot of money fighting; she's doing better breaking even.. All those 10-50 K purses are not nearly enough to cover expenses.

Varner is such a retard, as are all these chick hating homosexuals on Sherdog.

She was making bank in a cushy job for One FC before this and she quit that to comeback, I don't know how she can't make profit out of a 200k purse.

Cupcake,” who retired from the UFC in 2016, said she was already interesting in joining ONE before knowing how much it would pay. And when Sityodtong hit her with the salary, that essentially sealed the deal.

“I wanted to move to Singapore and be a part of this not knowing how financially beneficial it would be,” Tate said. “But let me tell you that this is definitely an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. When I first reached out, I didn’t imagine it would amount to this amount of profitability. But when he made the offer, it was like, ‘Oh yeah, I can’t pass this opportunity up!".

With a net worth of $6 million I don't feel bad for her.

I don’t think she was trying to get sympathy, I think she was just being honest as to where her purse went. Never said that she was poor or she didn’t have money previously. Her fiancé also comes from a well monied family so they’re not hurting. She simply said where her purse when he went to and nothing more everyone else just read into it and freaked out for no reason

 

[estranged]

Probably went to enhancements too

 

[Maripucci]

The more you make the more you spend

“Honest”

You’re like that guy that thinks impartial means crazy biased.

 

[BangBang]

Perhaps it's time to downsize?

 

[Nurse Joy]

“Honest”

Your like that guy that thinks impartial means crazy biased.

Nowhere in that interview did she say that she was hurting for money and Broke. She simply said her purse was spent. I don’t understand why this is controversial? She’s not a tier 1 fighter fighting for a championship. She’s not making millions of dollars a fight. She made more money with One as their VP, but chose to fight again because she missed it, and wants her belt back. Seriously do some research before you spout your bile.

Saying she got taxed 80% or whatever it was is not “honest”.

Seriously dude, if you think putting honest in quotation marks is “spouting bile” I wouldn’t leave the house. I don’t think you can cope in the real world. <Lmaoo><45><Lmaoo>

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

Who the hell is Jamie Varner??

excellent bait

 

[Foppa21]

The only thing I could think of is that she's had to move back from Singapore and, because of her long lay off, probably had to spend more to get into shape to start a training camp. I still think 98% is a massive stretch, but if she included every single one of her costs, even that not related to her actual training, it could be possible. I still feel unlikely, but possible

 

[Vampire life]

Sounds to me like she needs a new mgmt team?
Lots of leeches in this business.

Was it 200k?

If so, she's doing it all wrong.

 

[campbecc]

I don't think she's being literal on spending 70 percent on taxes and managers fees and 98 percent over all on costs.

In that case none of it would be taxes, you can take expenses off your taxes.

Yeah but whether or not most fighters have figured that out is another story. Although I suspect Tate would have figured it out by now

 

[campbecc]

Nice, for once the divorce system works for a dude.

It always works out great for whoever is mooching off the other, that's just normally the woman

Go look at what it costs to be on the PGA tour.

```

It costs in the region of $110,000, as a minimum, to play on the PGA Tour. For players who compete in global events, it is estimated that costs will be in the region of $200,000.

To play on the less prestigious Nationwide Tour will still cost $75,000.

It’s cut-throat and there is no guarantee of a paycheque. In a four-day tournament after day two, 50% of the field fails to reach the score required to keep playing through the weekend, this is called the ‘cut‘.

If you fail to make the cut, the golfer will earn nothing at all.

They still have all of the expenses for travel, accommodation, and the fees for their caddy.
```

thus this thing called "sponsors".

 

[STRAWBOSS]

I'll be 38 in 10 days, and don't really plan to make it past 50ish.

spoken like 38 yo, lol. i kid and wish you well but honestly, time fuckn flies, man. you’ll be 50ish in the bat of an eye. it ain’t bad either.

 

[Brandino]

Fighters from out of country are taxed heavily.... this is why K-1 used to pay under the table and only disclose a minimal amount officially. And even that was approx 50%.
