Non-champion fighters that made the most money

[killer spider]

Wanderlei Silva
chael sonnen

 

[Otto!]

Hunto was making 900k per fight in UFC

 

[ocfightfan]

Would have been a champion if he just stuck to it..

Lets face it, the UFC held him back.

 

[today123]

Sonnen

 

[ulysse]

Overeem or Hunt can get money since they were champs in other organizations , thus a superstar already that bring new audience.
Sonnen and Diaz are good examples, but those guys had to stay top 10 and work smart on a character (usually a bad guy)

 

[Epicman1324]

Diego Sanchez probably. Hendo. Reem. Gus.

 

[Pepy]

Dana used to claim Josh Koscheck had a private jet so maybe him.

I believe Josh was born into the riches

 

[blingking]

Looks like bullshit list to me. Overeem over GSP, Nate Diaz, Silva, Jones and DC? Unlikely

Its disclosed salaries.

GSP had a bunch of fights which were disclosed as 500k show no win. Nate has only fought twice in the three years since the second mcgregor fight and prior to the first fight never main evented a ppv.

 

[AP_RESURRECTION]

Heavy weights mostly especially like Hunt arlovski overeem

 

[AnotherOldGuy]

We're talking about just in the UFC aren't we? Who made the most in the UFC while not winning the belt... Fuck outta here with that pride shit.

Doesn't say that on the thread title.

 

[maxi diablo]

Joseph benavidez makes bank when he wins

I'm not sure if Hunto's hot dog eating contest can be used as a "champion in other organization".
Yeah he won K-1 GP but like 10 years previous to UFC signing.

Josh is a baller. Skip to around 4 min to see the plane..

Well, kinda sounds like playing with semantics, but owning a small plane like a SR-22 isn't usually considered the same thing as owning a private jet. For sure, it means you already have some good money, but actual private jets are several echelons higher than that, and there's no way he made that much money in the UFC.

 

[DeformedGravy]

As does Shane Carwin.

(Not to mention War Machine.)

IT and engineering have good salaries.

Carwin was getting that HW money too, hes a good pick.

 

[themiketoth]

Bro the list you made is so bad. Uneducated casual. Overeem makes more show pay than Diaz made in his 2 fights this year

 

[minowasmullet]

Lee Murray is loaded

 

[TheRassler]

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

Doesn't say that on the thread title.

What Forum is this? TS even mentions Overeem and Nick Diaz who were both Strikeforce champs so...

 

[TR1]

James Toney, before the IRS took it all.

 

[Beebop]

Lee Murray
