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.

 

[whocares]

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.

 

[Myrddin Wild]

Dana's always told us that he gives out more bonuses than he reveals publicly. He reiterated that as well, but we're still taking his word for it.

Either way, now that this is guaranteed, dis gonna be good!!!

He probably couldn't do it publicly before because of teh initial pressure from teh "human cock-fighting" resistance... but now that's off teh table, so LFG!!!

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

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.

100% won't be getting them for winning by DQ

 

[Ozze]

It will be interesting to see in a year or two how much this bonus will increase the finishing rates, if at all.
