This^People complained about Hendo making 800k+ a fight too and I have no idea why.
Overreem is a legit veteran. It’s virtually impossible to be more well seasoned and traveled than this man. He’s been a professional MMA fighter for over 20 years, held belts in multiple promotions, was a champion kick boxer in K-1, and was a super star. The man, like Hendo is paid appropriately, if not underpaid a bit.
Reem is a timeless legend in the combat sports world. It’s nice to see guys who have competed at such a high level for that long getting the pay they deserve for the wars and moments they’ve given us fans over many years. We don’t have many of the old guard left and we should be happy for them getting their fat purses. If Reem hasn’t paid his dues I’d really like anyone to tell me who has.
It’s a heavyweight Uber purse... flat ... against a borderline top 10 fighter.
Where is the logic?
How much must the #1,2,3,4,5 take?
inbefore somebody says popularity.
Reem has been knocked out too many times to be a big star.
UFC is the monopoly at (mma) combat sports.
No one else will.
that why im shocked ufc matched bellator offer to overeem
actually i think he just renegociated his contract before his last fightHe signed the contract a long time ago genius, I see this dumb thread every time he fights
He’s not gonna get paid 800k on his next contract duh
You don't think Bellator would gladly offer Reem the same if not more to fight in their promotion?
EDIT:
Mark Hunt was paid around and more than 1 million dollars several times. I think it is about how many people pay to watch you and Hunt and Overeem has been around for a long time.
He signed the deal at the height of his powers he was full Ubereem on a year. Also why are you concerned to see a fighter get paid well???.. flat ... against a borderline top 10 fighter.
