Neat

 

[BigOlJeet]

Conor also takes the #1 as the biggest CAN and shit fighter on the list.

 

[Feaser]

Damn. Mark Hunt made out like a bandit.

 

[VinceArch]

Surprised to see Overeem so high on the list and GSP so low. Even Michael Bisping is higher than him.

 

[Darkavius]

Damn. Mark Hunt made out like a bandit.

Andrei Arlovski is the one who really made out like a bandit. I am surprised though that Ronda Rousey is not on that list. She is still likely the biggest Women's MMA draw of all time and she drew people in during her reign.

Interesting. Negotiations matter.

Yeah, but at least Arlovski is a former champ with twice as many fights, and is above .500 in the organization. The way Hunt complains, I would have thought they forced him to fight for free.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Overpaidreem

 

[Serge421]

Damn who was Gsp's manager?

 

[tritestill]

Not sure I believe this list outright.

That don't even make any sense lol

 

[Steve Fox]

One would think Izzy was actually higher.

15. Jake Paul $30M vs Tommy Fury
14. Mike Tyson $30M vs Holyfield 2
13. Canello $35M vs Kovalev

So Mayweather in one fight on two occasions earned more than the entire top 20 UFC fighters ever.

Pretty sure those numbers are all pulled out of someone's ass.

GSP said himself he made more than his career earnings listed here for the Bisping fight alone.


St-Pierre wrote. “For the fight with Michael Bisping, with the pay-per-views, the sponsorship and all that, I made about $10 million. Then in 2019, I got out. I’m very lucky and very privileged that I finished on top. The reality is most fighters finish broke and broken. They hang there too long. They get brain damage. They go broke.

She should be but the list is BS she definitely made enough to be on this list.

Court documents showed Rampage made $15m during his first UFC run and he's not even on the list.

Mayweather made more than most athletes in their entire careers you don't even need to specify UFC.

Honestly seeing this makes me understand jones hardballing the UFC as much as he does.

There is no way Khabib should have made more money than jones.

This is only disclosed pay. Rampage isn't on this list either but on his pod he admitted he got 7 million for the Chuck fight alone.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Not sure I believe this list outright.

No Chuck Liddell ?
