News New UFC Restructured Bonuses!

[RockyLockridge]

I wonder if UFC will still give the $25K bonuses to fighters who win by doctor's stoppages or tell them they don't count as real finishes to skip paying them lol.

doctor gets the bonus, it's his stoppage.

Can’t say anything but good things about this, that is a good chunk of money for entry level fighters while providing an actual incentive to be exciting for the fans.

 

[Unheralded Truth]

Now they're getting things right. The Paramount era will be legendary, mark my words!

Great news, they should put a multiplier on the finish bonus if you can string together a series of them. Put like a 1.5 multiplier on it so people really go for the finish as if you can string several together you could be banking some nice bonuses.

Think about getting a brand new car or truck after landing a clean k.o for a bonus of the night.

Worth it.

After taxes and management fees, maybe think about a brand new dirtbike.

So DC was right when he said fighters would get more money. He just wasn't allowed to say how until the announcement came out.

So he had to sit there and listen to Gaethje call him a liar.

lol, fighters have opportunity to get paid more, doesn't mean they'll get higher pay. bonus is only an opportunity, not a guarantee of more pay.

UFC taking a page out of #PowerSlap and giving finish bonuses. This is excellent news!

 

[BForrester]

Oh so very generous considering they got $7.7B from Paramount.

The insufferable fans will demand to see a top control bonus or a decision bonus.

Knowledgable fans who know what style is the most dominant*

Or because of the backlash of Gaethje’s comments to DC, UFC came up with this plan quickly to avoid a bad look

if you think these are acceptable "upgrades" off the backs of an 8 billion dollar deal you are a fucking retard. dog shit company.

fighters need to unionize.

Sherdog told me Josh Van didn't really finish Pantoja

Long overdue by the UFC. Should have done it years ago. 25K for any finish is a good concept. Will be beneficial for many of these prelim/early prelim fighters making peanuts on their entry-level deals.

Meh.

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

 

[LeBron]

$25k in this day and age isn’t much. Should have been $50k

But I bet you'll claim Adesanya vs Romero and Ngannou vs Lewis was boring right?
