Why are people so distracted by other peoples' money? All these threads, it's really quite odd.

Its interesting to talk about.

MM 6 years as champ 11 title defenses. Has a pool from Walmart in his postage stamp sized back yard and this was probably bought with his Xbox sponsorship.

Google says his net worth is about $6 million. Think he's doing fine.

Because some have the tough decision of, BUY or STREAM.

When you see the list, easy decision.

Those are terrible if they are accurate.
D.C. made a million to fight twice? Ouch. Considering what he spent in agents’ fees and training expenses, I hope he got more from another source.

Robert Whittaker got 600K for one fight. That’s a little better.

I’m sure these guys pay quite a big chunk to their gyms. I’ve heard as much as a 1/3.

The weird thing about it to me is that it's a new phenomenon in this sport too. 10 years ago nobody talked about fighter pay, PPV #s, gate #s, etc.
Nobody cared lol

True, they only really cared about fights and not all the BS manufactured drama leading up to them.

You would never hear "This guy got the fight over this guy because this guy is a draw and makes the UFC money"

It was " I can't wait to see this fight, the 2 best guys in the division and an interesting style match up"

Now people act like the UFC's money is there money and only want to see the 2 guys who will talk the most shit to each other leading up to the fight and who will have the best tweets instead of caring about the 2 best guys fighting and how there styles match up against each other.

Sad world really, I blame Chael, he laid the blueprint for the drama era and brought in the flood of nitwit "fans". Conor just up'ed the ante and attracted even more delusional uneducated "fans".

In October every single one on that list will get knocked down a spot.

 

[mallen7272]

that's actually pathetically sad for someone with 11 title defenses and conservative spending habits.

But but but but but Stipe is not making enough money.

Also LOL at Lewis getting more money than Yoel. Fucking insane!!

Yoel's payouts weren't reported for his two fights in 2018. These numbers are incredibly inaccurate seeing as Yoel's numbers for 213 WERE reported and he made 350,000 for losing.

How they estimated he only made 500,000 in 2018 is incredibly dumb and this list of numbers should not be taken seriously at all.

A lot of ACs don't report numbers and these sites often make dumb guesses as to how much fighters are making. I can't believe there are posters here still posting these.
