Reebok payouts for UFC 195!! :|

[rjmbrd]

Absolutely brutal.

I think one sponsor makes fighters look more professional and in 5 years we will have a better look on the sport of mma.

 

[mangokush]

The sooner a Fighters Union is established.

Seems MMA in the UFC is not considered an actual sport but sports entertainment on par with WWE.

Fighters can go elsewhere and get other jobs but that attitude will kill the sport.

 

[hasar]

Lol.

Why make a thread about it? It's not a secret what they'll get paid. I could make a thread now and tell you what each of those fighters will make in their next fight.

 

[Reason]

WIth that 5000 extra cash,

Michael Mcdonald
a)buy more Doobie br records
b)upgrade from eating at Mcdonalds
c)pay for escorts so he wouldn't have to abstain from sex for years

I thought you wrote 'pray for escorts' originally haha.

"I'd like to donate this $5000 to the streetwalkers of LA. May god have mercy on their soul"

People worry about other people money way to much ... I think it was condit but could've Been lawler said they would fight for free in one of the commercials for the ppv

So why don't they just donate their purse to charity? Let me give you a hint, they wouldn't really fight for free, it's just something you say.

 

[zephid]

You people are disturbing. You enjoy watching these men and women put their brains on the line every week while they're grossly underpaid for it. Give me a break.

Well to be fair no one forced them to become fighters.

Do a bit of research on average/median incomes for pro-athletes/pro-fighters. Those Reebok payouts are a portion of their take-home income and are more than reasonable, given what we know on the matter. (I shared links above in a previous post.)

Disgraceful.. PERIOD (as Dana would say)

 

[davyjoneslocker]

No wonder so many fighters are letting there contracts expire to look for work elsewhere.

 

[fbgn]

you wanna be a fucking fighter on welfare?

 

[vkram]

This is what swagger looks like

 

[HIMBOB]

no body wins with Reebok.

Worst thing is Reebok is taking a hammering in this as well.

Be interesting to see the UFC go back to the old system, because whomever is after reebok will not pay such high amounts

 

[Baba Ghanoush]

That swagger money lol.

 

[effedup]

Not bad for a job that requires no education.

You'd like to think so, but your statement is so far from the truth that it makes no sense.

 

[fortheo]

Not bad for a job that requires no education.

Look up the definition of education. Then look at fighters learning their arts in an mma school, and then realize your mistake.

Stipe works full time as a fireman in addition to the MMA job. The pay just isn't good enough.

 

[Snowy1]

Crap pay
