This shtick is tired, at least Bubba is self aware now with the Combate shilling and I like him now.

Plus dude, it's different paying a debutant 1.5K/1.5K and paying a Albert Duraev 13K/13K

Bellator have never stated that they are the biggest mma-league.
Scott Coker is not bashing the boxing community.
Bellator ALLLOWS sponsorships.
 
Genuinely expected some of those prelim guys to get about 500-1000 dollars with the records they help.

Saul got 80k too lol. Laughing all the way to HSBC. If anything Bellator deserve praising.

Is he on a multi-fight contract with them or is it just a one off deal though? There isn't much point paying much more than regional market value for one off deals.

No idea if it was a one off deal. But it's true that a lot of guys on Bellator prelims are regional guys who don't belong on the big show, and deserve to be paid relatively little. But Delgado just isn't one of those guys, even if this was a 1-off fight.

I agree, but if he's not willing to commit to more than that I could see why they wouldn't pay him that much. A lot of shows that people I train with have been on do them an under the table percentage of tickets they sell too, so I wonder if that was involved.

Bellator pays the fighters 47.5% of its total revenue which is comparable to the majority of what other professional sports pay.

UFC pays between 10 - 12% of its total revenue to the fighters.

So please tell us all which Org have not been paying the fighters a fair amount of its total revenue?

UFC Paid Shills are always claiming UFC is the #1 MMA Org then they should be paying the fighters like they are the best.

I don't think it really helps with the guys this thread is supposed to be about. Noone's paying much money to advertise their brand on the early prelims.

To be fair they're probably still making a little something extra. That is if they seek sponsorships out. I mean, what are sponsors paying them for a regional shot? I literally don't know, if anybody has more info by all means share. I'm speculating here to be clear but I have to imagine the fact they're being streamed to however few people watch Bellator prelims counts for something to a sponsor.

I'm not trying to suggest they're bringing in 5 figures or something, but an extra thousand bucks is probably as much the whole purse they'd get doing that same fight in a regional promotion not being broadcast anywhere. It's a total bush league practice from Coker and Bellator but I think it's worth acknowledging that for the individual fighters competing compared to the market that exists for 0-0 MMA fighters it's actually a great opportunity.

If it's anything like the fighters I know the sponsors they have probably help towards training costs and stuff like that rather than pay them an additional fee on fight nights.
 
In Canada, that kind of money dissappears pretty quicky.
