UFC 200 fighter pay. TJ the Snake vs Sage the Underwear model!

[Deleted member 498977]

Ok, guys.
I am feeling bummed out!
Just look at this crap!

T.J. Dillashaw: $50,000 (includes $25,000 win bonus)
Sage Northcutt: $100,000 (includes $50,000 win bonus)

How come TJ, former champ, who beat P4P N1 at that time in Barao TWICE and had a super fight with Cruz
gets paid TWICE less than sweet looking Sage, who has done nothing in the sport yet, but flexed his abs and done gay ass photoshoots?

Please, enlighten me!

 

[ssBaldy]

You already answered yourself. He flexed and did gay photoshoots. A lot.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Two words.

Better management.

Hate on Sage's dad all you want but look at the deal he got his son.

 

[I_IZ_BACK]

Sage by being the future poster boy, untill somebody caves his face in ... badly

Northcutt is one of Dana's children with that "it" factor.

 

[Sampsonsimpson]

Two words:

Back flips. Or is it one word, backflips? Either way the kid can do sick back flips.

Ok, but, fuck, TJ won the belt and defended it TWICE!
He must be getting CHAMPION's Money!
Not these 25+25 peanuts!

[Starkist]

I agree, TJ deserves more.

Sage draws more attention. Casuals will drool over him. Heck, even 1% of MMA fans (us hardcores) drool (Although I admittely don't drool because I like women more, I have no problem recognizing men's good looks, and if you don't wish your body looked like his, you're insane or you really don't care about looks).

If Sherdog is positive about someone even if it is about looks, that says something about draws.

I agree ,bro, looks play a role and put assess in seats.
But it shouldn't be valued over real skill and championshp caliber fighter!

TJ making bank on weekends selling peanut butter with Duane..

 

[DLX]

Sage is a Future star and TJ is not so deal with it.

 

[phatron]

Please, enlighten me!

there are a million different ways to write a contract. disclosed pay to the commisions are not the only way fighters can get paid.

"will backflip for cashmoney"

or is it cash money?

Northcutt is one of Dana's children with that "it" factor.

Indeed and I think it perfectly shows the weakness of the UFC when it comes to developing new talent paying one of the most exciting emerging guys in TJ so poorly plus throwing him under the bus with schoolyard promotion vs Cruz.

 

[Cheapshart]

See, what happened is that when the UFC met with TJ and said "25/25?" he said, "Deal!"

...whereas Sage's dad said "Nah" and negotiated a better deal for his fighter.

TJ has TJ to blame for his pay. Not Sage.

Really?

Negotiations in this kind of business aint easy task.
And fighter's postion is pretty weak here, unless you are GSP, Silva, Ronda, or Connor.

If Dana says 25/25 or GTFO ( and they have plenty of methods on how to screw fighter's career)
then there is little you can do.

Dana probably offered Sage a better deal from the start, because he fell in love with his gay ass!
