News New UFC Restructured Bonuses!

[RockyLockridge]

Meh.

More money is more money. Someone's gonna get it

Opportunity to earn more =/= getting paid more. Gaethje was absolutely correct.

I dont like standup only fights. Pedestrian.

Go watch RAF

 

[HHJ]

Go watch RAF

I WILL

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

Sean strickland and belal in shambles right now

 

[BigGucciSosa]

So if you get a finish and a POTN you get 125k?

So it's ok to hate stand up fights, but it's perfectly ok to enjoy ground only fights?

 

[Ares Black]

Huge improvement

DUH

That's great news.
Finally.

I'm sure the guys who were finishing left and right but didn't get a bonus are a bit salty right now lol. I hope they can get theirs.

Something good coming out of this whole deal. Seems like Paramount does what everybody has been saying for years that we want. Let's see how things evolve. Multicam view I heard for subscription? That's another one I said would be nice to have if I ever paid for fight pass for example. But UFC was too dumb to introduce that.

Pretty sick 100k performance and fight of the night bonuses and every finisher gets 25k .

 

[cburm]

25k 3 fights a year that's 75k a year in just finish bonuses ... Pretty good if you ask me.

For everyone gushing over how amazing this is.


In 20 years
ufc revenue has gone up 100x
Bonuses have gone up 2x


UFC now has guaranteed income of over 1 billion $ /year

Contender series contracts pay 10/10k
In 2026.



Los Angeles Dodgers
Came up in a quick search for sports team that generates 1 billion /year

Player salaries:

Mookie Bets 30m/year guanteed
Freddie Freeman 27m/yr
Shohei Ottani 700m/10y
Tyler Glaskow - 27m
Kyle Tucker 4 yr 240m


Be happy about this... it is a step in the right direction for sure.

But make no mistake these guys are still getting fucked in the ass with no lube.


Collective bargaining agreements for most major sports have secured about 50% revenue share to the athletes and most estimates put the UFC in the teens.

no. You only get EITHER 25k or 100k.

 

[Söze Aldo]

This is good. It will place emphasis to not have fights like Khamzat vs DDP.

Control without incentive to finish shouldn't rewarded, and should be be penalized if anything.

 

[Snake Fist]

Nice little improvement on things, I agree with another post that 50k would have been the sweet spot.

Even 75k for the other 2 and 50k for all finishes with the possibility of earning 2 bonuses.

Now we just need the One Championship rule set and then UFC reigns supreme.

 

[Just Creed]

The 25k finish bonus is a great development.

I imagine we're gonna see some dudes furious that they didn't get the finish

They could just have the refs refuse to stop fights so they don't have to pay

 

[Squintz]

Hey Dona, 100 Geez behbeh!

Let's go.


Late stoppages.
