There might've been a very slight increase in pay? Not too many 12/12 fighters.

Still looks pretty underwhelming though..

Ugh you guys just don’t get it.

The UFC is the brand. The promotion. The whole show. People pay to see the UFC now, not stars and they can sell out a show no matter who is fighting, so they clearly deserve 80% of the revenue split.

Also, in unrelated matters, these guys need to start promoting themselves if they want better pay or opportunities. The UFC can’t be expected to market someone or push someone who may be winning, but isn’t exciting. You need to promote yourself in the UFC.

I think that’s what I’m being told anyway.
 
So let me get this right...

Assuming Cody Stamann was not on a flat rate like every other winner on this card, if he'd beaten Taylor Lapilus, he'd have been the second highest paid fighter on the card behind only Dom Reyes?

Damn that's crazy.

And that's not to say Stamann is overpaid, it's to say everybody else is seriously underpaid.
 
I mean, they mostly seem to be perfectly content with their pay, so who am I to criticize? Seriously, the CS guys are in tears when they get their 12/12 slave contract and everyone else has a good night as is all "ayyyy danaaaa fifffty geeezz babyyyy" on the mic.
 
Thiago Moises has been a reliable, active veteran for the UFC for many years now and he can't even get more than 58K?

There really is no defending this organization.
Is he from Brasil ? If he makes 58k 3x a year. He can buy a house in brasil after like 2 years. Not everywhere is expensive like the USA
 
I thought they were through with $10k show and 12k was the minimum wage?

Cause there’s more than one with that $10k setup

After taxes, coaches fees, gym fees, and if he owes any training partners anything,
and all the good food he had to buy during camp makes the take-home around $1,500…….better off working an entry-level job holmes
