Media Renato Moicano Made $1 Million Fighting Vs Islam @ UFC 311

It's well deserved. He stepped up to save the card. But got absolutely outclassed. Take the money and run..
 
Merab managed by Ali? I havent seen this confirmed anywhere, Ali was guarenteeing that Umar will finish Merab in interviews. You got any proof there sherbro, coz I dont think that's correct.

You're right, Merab is managed by Oren Hodak, or was until recently.

My mistake, confused myself. Looked at it a few days ago!
 
I don’t understand keep denying the fact these fighters get paid great. Rampage and Bisping were talking about undisclosed bonuses recently on their podcasts, Tj Dillashaw said he’s gotten bonuses off every one of his fights in the UFC aside from the Soto bout.

Being paid great isn't based on some fix rate. Most professional sports leagues give their athletes a higher % their revenue than the UFC does. For a company worth billions of dollars, it doesn't pay that well. Pretty much anyone who is financially literate agrees with that.

Bonuses are nice, but it's not guaranteed money. In fact, you essentially lose half your income if you lose your match (which is a wild stipulation that is a normal contract in the UFC).

Rampage had a great contract because it was grandfathered in from his previous org. He's said many times it was better than everyone elses contract because of that. Rampage beef with Dana White comes from Dana White trying to give him a typical UFC contract.


Demetrius Johnson said he still made hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting, which is obviously good money compared to an average desk job. But he's also said his lawyers told him he was grossly underpaid. They're not contradictions.
 
Oh no, another one bites the dust. Great for him, but crap for the fans. Dana needs to stop paying these guys so much. Money was fighting all the time and exciting because he needed the money, now he doesnt need it anymore and will do like all the other guys that get too much money and fight once a year...
 
And how much will one million dollars be worth back in Brazil <mma4>That's like five million purchasing power in Brazil :)

He is managed by Rubinstein, who was in the cage when Dana gave him the belt
Weird enough he's also the manager of Petr Yan with who Dvalishvili was beefing

That guy Oren was definitely involved recently. KO Reps or whatever. Not sure if they're affiliated with Rubenstein or Merab moved on.
 
Almost 1 mil for less than 5 minutes of work. That's hard to beat.
 
People ITT fighter must be embellishing his pay or must have a deal for multiple fights because he can't possibly be rewarded for his flexibility

Yes yes i know the UFC should pay more
But most fighters in the company who fight often are well off
 
The Dana White unofficial backstage locker room bonus.
 
Probably got a cut of the PPV.

Because it ain't coming from his base salary since even Islam only got a paltry 200k
 
Good fi Moicano 🤑

I hope he’s telling the truth and not just playing up his ‘Money’ appellation. 🤑
 
Dana took personally care.

I'm with Paddy

Once in a lifetime opportunity and you insta panic tap? C'mon son
 
Shill they absolutely do not get paid great. Rampage outright lied about how much he got paid. Chael is another guy that lied (shocking, I know). Court documents proved it.

Bonuses exist but are rare.

Moicano might be telling the truth, because a late notice fight is the type that would warrant an exception. But he literally has a 'money' persona - it's in his interests to pretend he gets paid more than he does.
You’re a mess, there’s been countless fighters who have similar accounts with getting paid bonus checks that isn’t disclosed. Yet the man on Sherdog claims they’re lieing.

I’d rather believe the fighters than you.
 
Where was this money when dj was defending his championship multiple times?
