Nate Diaz earned $16,000 against Dos Anjos.

[InvestigatorIL]

This is not one of those fighter pay complaining thread because I believe these guys get much more than the reported amount and you get paid what you are worth, but this is hilarious. The guy sits out a year, constantly complains about money and returns to a reported $16,000.

Ed Herman earned almost 3 times that amount lol

His salary has looked low since he renegotiated his last contract.

There is an old screen shot of his manager saying, Diaz is okay and got paid way more then what is reported.


EDIT:
Here is an article I found that kind of talks about it:

If I had more time to search I'm sure I'd find that screen shot.

With that performance, safe to say he should feel like he made out very well.

 

[Lucifer Alpha]

That's what he gets for being managed by Mike Kogan.

You should sent Nate a tweet and ask him why he signed such a shitty contract....

 

[InvestigatorIL]

Ya, he is definitely not moving Dana White's needle

 

[SCADA]

If he had of made weight and won it would have been $32k....

 

[SimonNova]

Lol. More than he deserved for that fight.

 

[grecobjj]

$15,995 more than he deserved for that shit

 

[Das Werm]

Deserved this time for over weight and being a dick. UFC should just release him. I was a big fan but he jumped the shark. After Nick/Silva hopefully they toss him. Enough is enough.

 

[InvestigatorIL]

Lol. More than he deserved for that fight.

True, he was a punching... I mean kicking bag in that fight

 

[iThrillhouse]

Mike Kogan admitted he's a shitty manager after they asked about Diaz' last fight purse

 

[Perrichet]

Seems about right. He didn't make weight and his "performance" was shitty

 

[Pitier of Fools]

UFC overpaid him if you ask me.

It is bad that a guy with 20 UFC fights is on a $20k show and $20k win contract. Either he has worst negotiating management on planet, or he had them go super heavy on PPV buys rather than salary and UFC just stopped putting him on PPV.

Either way, crappy situation for a 20 fight UFC vet. Has to be more to this.

I remember reading that on the most recent contract he opted for a large signing bonus and smaller fight purses, which makes sense. I don't have a source though, nor can I be bothered looking for one.

 

[cshireman4]

My only problem is the fact that the UFC rewards his dumba$$ brother for the same behavior. Big pay and big fights with GSP & AS that he CLEARLY doesn't deserve.

And another thing, that promo showed JDS, Stipe & none other than Nate Diaz. RDA wasn't even used to promote the fight whatsoever. Consistency of any kind would be great.

 

[Rainmaker]

Dana White made more than him to watch one of the prelim fights.

lol I had to google that and you're right that's pretty hilarious.
