MMA fighters are poor

[philcrow]

Sponsorship removal in favor of exclusivity screwed a lot of these guys. Also, a lot pro fighters have big egos which makes unionizing tough as well.

No, they’re not. That’s the harsh reality you don’t want to accept, most of these fighters are not very good, you got fighters records of 1-3, and you believe these fighters deserve millions?

What are you talking about? i sure hope they could beat some random person on Karate Forum, what kind of nonsense shit take you have going on in your brain where you think i’m saying i could take a professional MMA FIGHTER, i said they’re not good enough in relative to their competition, you know other MMA fighters.

They’re not, relative to their competition in the UFC. That’s why fighters win and lose, that’s why fighters get cut, that’s why fighters have 2-8 records. Because they’re not good at fighting against other MMA fighters.

That’s the weakest rebuttal i ever read. “they could beat you up” Lol.
I sure fucking hope so they could. The worst of them could beat up 95% of the people on this forum, what’s your point?

The real question is could your dad beat up their dad

I remember watching embedded and Demetrious Johnson had an above ground pool in his backyard. I thought "Sherdog is gonna be all over this". I logged on and the thread was already 9 pages deep.

Then Chandler who was never even champ has this pool in his backyard.

Total bullshit. Post a source. Well to think, one needs a brain. Not sure that works for you

Hogan was getting paid an obscene amount by WCW in the late 90s. I can believe that for PPV events he was taking the lions share of talent wages.

-----------

Hulk Hogan's 1998 WCW contract was incredibly lucrative, including significant guaranteed money and a percentage of revenue from various sources.

He received a $2 million signing bonus and was guaranteed a minimum of $675,000 per pay-per-view appearance, or 15% of the domestic PPV cable sales, whichever was greater.

He also received a percentage of ticket sales, merchandise revenue, and promotional fees. The contract also included perks like first-class travel and accommodations.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Guaranteed PPV Payments: Hogan received $1.35 million three times a year as an advance on pay-per-view earnings, with additional bonuses based on buyrates, potentially reaching $1.75 million per event.

Ticket Sales: He earned 25% of the gross ticket sales for both televised (Nitro and Thunder) and non-televised events, with a minimum guarantee for televised appearances.

Merchandise Revenue: Hogan received 50% of net receipts from all merchandise sold with his name and likeness.

Promotional Fees: While in the nWo, he received $20,000 per month as a promotional fee.
