Reebok payouts for UFC 195!! :|

[Toco]

pretty good, reebok

 

[wisdom blows]

There is nothing that says time spent learning a craft HAS to equate to more money. The market drives salaries. If you spend 10 years playing WOW or COD, you are not "owed" a six figure salary based upon your time spent on those endeavors.

There isnt leagues worth in excess of a billion dollars with huge, multi-national corporate sponsors paying people to play video games either. Dog shit analogy.

 

[wisdom blows]

The answer is zero. Zero dollars. For the record.

Im wutting you saying it was gracious of them to pay the fighters at all. This isnt charity. Why should the fighters wear Reebok for free? The bigger point of this is not even on Reebok, but the UFC payouts of the deal. Many fighters have said they are earning less now than they were before.

I edited my post you quoted. I put in more of an explanation.

Why should the fighters wear it for free? The same reason other workers wear uniforms for free. It's just part of the job. I never got paid when I had to wear ugly ass uniforms for previous jobs. Did you?

This is a real picture of dc207, ohm is his twin brother

And that is fine. Now we don't have to see things like "Condom Depot" and the like on fighter's shorts. Reebok adds a touch of legitimacy to the league and removes the randomness from the sponsorship realm, in general.

 

[KeepItRealist]

Has anyone tallied up the total so far halfway through the first year?

Fighters are supposed to get, what $11.6-$12M a year, minus the "administration fees" and "operating costs" of course.

 

[KoChang]

They picked the career and signed the contracts

The reasoning of a miserable prick.

 

[Bones245n4847]

Watching poor people fight last night was a treat. Just a shade above the homeless vids from not too long ago in terms of how much they were paid.

 

[Toco]

Precisely. This is a portion of their overall pay. The shared numbers seem more than reasonable, given what we know about pro-athlete pay and fighter-pay, in general.

Not bad for a job that requires no education.

Those numbers seem solid. Good on Reebok.

uh 0hm, you were being serious??

i was kidding, dont like my post

and i dont understand this, not bad for a job that requires no education?? condit had years of martial arts training before even starting to competing in mma, he trains a lot EVERY DAY and mastered his craft. if this isnt fucking education, just cause its not a formal one, what the fuck is education

i mean, condits numbers arent THAT BAD, but when you put into perspective how long hes fighting, a great fighter like him, that for sure made some nice profits for the ufc, that made a lot of people fan of fighting, 30k is actually laughable. not only that but he probably made AT LEAST more than 100k fighitng. i mean, fucking SCHAUB was making 100k to fight ONLY in sponsors

the reebok deal is outrageous, but at the end of the day the ufc is in their right to do that, but to think that the money that the fighters are getting is something to be praised upon, its insanity

and sorry but the top of the cream of bo xing is making A LOOOOOOT more than mma fighters, and condit is for fucking sure elite in his sport

 

[arridude]

Miocic 3 times less then AA it's a shame
The guy has less experience then the veteran, but he is a more relevant fighter in the UFC recent past years.
That sucks.

 

[Ragnarocker]

I've shat shit more solid while sick with diarrhea than these numbers. Shame on Reebok. Shame on Zuffa. Shame on you.

 

[cartizel]

Fucked if I know why the UFC thinks this shit is good for fighters.

I mean, the clobber looks shite; looks like crap that was developed by school kids.

And they pay out are comical. Still don't know how they determine who receives what

 

[Luke Rockhard]

That is absurd. If Condit is pulling in near 500k a year, he is doing more than well for a pro-athlete and pro-fighter, dwarfing the salaries of most of his peers. Condit is not a champion, nor has he ever been one in the UFC. He is a top 3 guy in his weight-class and his salary more than reflects that.

never a champion? Dudes has held the WEC title and held a UFC interim Title...... How can you be against fighters making more money???? I could understand if the company was in the red each year, but they're not. They're making 100s of millions yearly. I'm not saying every fighter should be making 50 million a year, but a fighter with Condit's history and career should easily be making 500/500 per fight plus another 100k per fight sponsors.

Look at the NFL, way more guys than fighters in the UFC. They split the profits nearly 50/50.
If the UFC is making 500 million per year and split it 50% profit share EVENLY between all fighters on the roster, each fighter would get a lil over 450k each in profit sharing. How's that not fair. There's no UFC without the fighters, and after over 20 years of not sharing any profit with the fighters I think it's time.

You are illusioned if you think martial arts training (dirt cheap) compares to formal education (incredibly expensive) in any practical manner. Massive debt is mandated for modern students thus career positions ought to pay a salary that reflects relative debt. If you fail to see the difference, then I am not sure what else to say to you on this matter.

30k just to put on the uniform is very solid, especially when you consider relative wages of pro-athletes and pro-fighters.

I am not against fighters making more money. I am just not confused about the market, like many/most of you are. You have no idea how much of that "100s of millions yearly" goes to keeping the lights on, marketing, and the like, so do not act like they are paying out chump change. We know they are not, relatively speaking.

how the fuck is that solid given the fact that they all made WAY more before reebok

 

[Hallelujah]

Wait I thought I read champions and challengers got extra?

you're insane to think that the UFC, which at this point is a global brand, holding around 50 events yearly, having multiple sponsorship deals, TV deals and merch deals isn't making 100s of millions a year of NET PROFIT... Sure douche nozz, the UFC made 13 million last year in profit. GTFOUTTA here.

 

[KeepItRealist]

How much does MetroPCS and Bud Light pay the UFC to have Bruce Buffer do commercials in the middle of introductions and the decision?

More professional era indeed.
