News New UFC Restructured Bonuses!

[TheMMAnalyst]

I really dont get what youre trying to say here? An increased bonus IS always an option Max got a 600k bonus not long ago. Tony said its bigger in texas and got the bonuses upped.
Whats the point of a statement for a bonus that doesnt actually happen 99% of the time? That'd be a huge dick move.

They can increase the bonuses at the whims of Dana because some fighter begged publicly that he likes or it's a special event like 300 where they try to do something special. They usually don't, but it's beside the point as it's not what I'm talking about.

They give out 4 performance bonuses - 2 for Fight Of The Night, 2 For a "Performance" and if there is no "Fight Of The Night" there are just 4 for "Performance."

Point being it is capped - the FOTN Bonus just takes away 2 other bonuses from people who put on great performances and deserve a bonus. They should give out 4 for "Performance" and then if there is a Fight Of The Night that should be a separate double bonus that doesn't take away from the POTN bonuses.

They can afford to give out an extra couple bonuses when we get a legendary scrap, it would be another way to reward fighters.

Wow this is actually kind of good. A little late now though lol.

Too bad they didn't announce this before Justin took a shit on their heads. Now it just looks like they were embarrassed into it.

 

[TomTomNT]

but but Justin Gaethje said no one got a raise and no one will be making anymore money

 

[pick999]

so i guess this means all the fights will end in boring decisions

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

and where did you get two from? It says performance bonus not performance bonuses.

Its official now dana annouced Miller and Hokit as POTN

25k for all finishes is a really nice change to see some guys do not make that on their regular contract. Finish the fight for double pay is a good incentive for lower ranked fighters to actually fight instead of trying to maintain a perfect record.


Could be more money, but still great change for the lower level guys. actually kinda impressed.

I'd offer more for earlier finishes.
40k 1st rnd
30k 2nd
25k 3-5
Gives fights incentive to push the pace

The Dude abides.

 

[shunyata]

Early prelim guys took advantage of this.

 

[Blastbeat]

any increase is a good thing. i was just arguing a few days ago how they could increase the bonuses to 100k and theyd be fine. the individual performance bonuses are a nice addition too.
its a good PR move and it helps the fighters. win/win

 

[Goatenstein]

Lol only 21 years late

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

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.

^^^^^

It has been a lot of years, a lot of profits, a lot of executives with multi-million dollar paydays. Time for at minimum, a 50k bonus per finish, and a 250k bonus for FOTN.
