so where the outrage at this fight pay. again

[turbotime]

Why does anyone care about fighter pay? It’s their dumb choice to do it anyways.

 

[Fight Professor]

They can get a lot of money by advertising Condom Depot.

 

[Daelh]

but they bash the ufc over it not anyone else. i dont get teh double standard.

Bellator pays their fighters more than 17% of revenue. If you didn't notice, half the card had 100k+ salaries while ufc stack their cards with 12+12k fighters. Also the guy getting a 2k purse isn't under exclusive contract with bellator so he's free to fight elsewhere tomorrow.

People just need to get the fuck over fighter pay.

"People just need to get the fuck over slavery"

That’s a bit insensitive to compare this to slavery.

The people effected by comparisons to the past are dead. You're not defending anyones honor by saying "slavery or some past atrocity was way worse" you're just minimizing the atrocities of the present. The only people who benefit from that are the oppressors.

It's not productive to say a was worse than b so we should just get over b because a was worse.

I am not going to get into a conversation re slavery and fighter pay. It is just absurd and I don’t have time for it.

if this was a ufc fight purse list that what all be yelling about.

i notice cause people like scott coker not one word from the media about this. how is it fair to pay a fighter 2k in 2023.

Usman Nurmagomedov, Benson Henderson and Alexandr Shabily lead Bellator 292 salaries - MMA Fighting

Adam Wamsley fought 5 times in 5 years

and he was 2 - 2 before getting merked

Rogelio had one fight to his name before losing his fight.

Good on Scott for paying them and giving them an opportunity to shine

Better than fighting in their local scene, not being seen by anyone, and getting paid $250

 

[BBMN]

So confused. TS is angry nobody discusses Bellator pay..... while discussing Bellator pay...?

What kind of 4D hologram chess is he playing?

 

[Cartiac]

Bellator pays their fighters over TWICE the percentage of income that the UFC pays and Bellator fighters make FAR MORE because they can score sponsors. If the UFC wasn't always fucking their fighters in the ass so hard because of greed maybe they'd get called out less.

Can't spell it out any more clearly - the evidence is all out in the open.

Can you provide a source for any of that "evidence", other than a picture of your ass?

Both organizations are owned by public companies that do not detail the financials of their individual brands in their financial reports. Bellator is actually owned by a much larger company than UFC.

The highest estimated earnings for Bellator in 2022 I have seen is $38m. UFC 2022 estimated earnings are around $1.3b. Even if Bellator paid 100% of their revenue to fighters it is still nowhere near UFC fighter pay even at the lowest estimated percentages that puts it around $200m. Do you math at all?

Well what do you expect. Theyre all idiots with a mic.

 

[tucan89]

They only care when it’s UFC aka Selective outrage.

Bellator pays 2K-3K for some of their prelim guys at one point. When PFL was WSOF they paid a guy $750 to show & win and he got knocked out!

 

[The Bloody Nine]

Fighter pay bores are the most tedious cunts in the world.
