ufc sac salaries

[Harlekin]

TAM is on good terms with UFC.

Women are underpaid heavily buddy.
Germaine (former champion 40k to show 40k to win)
Joanna (former champion 5x title defenses 50k to show 50k to win)
Paige VanZant (most popular female fighter outside MMA circlejerk has 43k to show 43k to win)
Michelle Waterson (50k to show 50k to win)

Joanna, Paige, Waterson all had good ratings on TV, well above avarage fanbase 1m+ on instagram. They are paid like some no name fighters in the UFC.
They are amongst the most popular UFC personalities for sure bro.

for example Joanna vs Waterson is set to headline UFC fight night is San Francisco but nothing is inked because of contract dispute from Joanna side.

Paige wants to fight out her contract then check free agency.

and so on

Didn't think I would say this on sherdog. But you are right.

I had some numbers from unknown female fighters in my head that seemed too high.

am i saying to start paying the fighters like NBA players? no just a livable wage, most fighters making less then garbagemen

No matter what line of work you're in there's a hierarchy though, the guy cleaning the offices doesn't get the same as the manager who's office he's cleaning. If you prove yourself to be decent enough you can make a decent living in MMA, it's not football money but then fighters know that when they start training.
When you think some fighters make $90,000 and get win bonuses, then can fight three times per year it really isn't that bad, christ engineers average half that a year.

and how many of these hypothetical fighters that you speak of are pulling in 90/90

 

[brackis1]

Ricky Simon was pretty much headlining against the biggest name on the card and made $23,000

Nah, he was brought in to look like a live opponent to build a million dollar title shot for Faber.
Hopefully he got a nice backroom bonus for blindling swinging in the pocket like was necessary for the result

lol dude
Engineers don't need to be ranked in the top 25 engineers in the world to make 90k. Hell the top 25 engineers are all making millions if not tens of millions a year at top companies where they contribute significantly to their employer's earnings.
They also don't need to buy special food, or train, or travel for work
They also get pensions and can earn a salary for decades in the future.
Their salaries are also paid in even 2 week distributions allowing for simple budget planning, no spikes in their tax rate from lump sum payments, and their job will still exist if someone runs into them while driving. Engineers don't have thousands of losers like you and I following their activities for fun online.

What fantasy world are you in?

 

[awymore]

So Faber didn't make 600k?
His Tam guys generally make good money compared to others in the ufc it seems.


Randemie is kinda underpaid, maybe because she is ugly.
Most wmma fighters are overpaid as fuck compared to males.

Yeah, I saw Pena's salary, had never heard of her before. Pulled up her Wikipedia page, and she hadn't had a win since 2016. Yet here we are

Julianna Pena: $80,000 — $40,000 to show, $40,000 to win

 

[Greg House]

Ricky Simon was pretty much headlining against the biggest name on the card and made $23,000

They literally could have picked ANY prospect in that division between #11 and #20 to "push" their image so they can sell better after it and get a better contract but he got the call by... luck. Then he threw away that oportunity. $23.000 It's fine. And it will continue to be that way after blewing this, I tell you.

 

[Taric]

incoming complaints about low fighter pay for a card everyone complained about.

Nobody watches preseason fourth stringer NFL but those guys are making more money then these fighters are

 

[cburm]

if you "bought" a company for $4 billion, and then started paying everyone alot more than you needed to, would your company that you just paid $4 billion for still be worth $4 billion?

Danas making 35 mill a year salary ... More than every fighter on thr roster.. A weak ppv is 14 mil that month what 200k ppv buys like there avg .. They pay out 1-6 mill to fighters if therr big names.. Or conor sells 800k ppvs or more thats over 50 mill conor gets 4-7 mill

The point is they can afford to pay there guys alot more..

The fact is dana says it would be bad because fighters would just retire and quit the company already knows this.

And thats just talkin ppvs ufc is makin alota money in events tickets merch ect. Theyve got alota other incomes and alota other facillities they also fund and run.

 

[snackgod]

you literally started a thread to just post a link and nothing else???? jesus christ dude get your life together

i didnt have anything else to say about it.

 

[snackgod]

if you "bought" a company for $4 billion, and then started paying everyone alot more than you needed to, would your company that you just paid $4 billion for still be worth $4 billion?

do you kill bellator for paying some one 1k and has to sell enough tickets to be allowed to fight?

before you say spnosors who giving a guy on bellator prelims that nobody cares about big sponsor money

 

[snackgod]

you act like the company that's "worth" 4 billion can't afford to up the pay on their fighters. Meanwhile Dana keeps getting a new office every week. fighters only getting 15% of the revenue, but thats good right

there was a time when prelim fights like like 5k after the sale pay has gone up.

Was just going to post about how good of a job Uriah must do for these guys if Emmett n Fili are making 49k n 40k each. Even Benito had a 12/12 which is 20% increase from the 10/10 those kinda guys get.

Hall making 35/35 is good too, Florian keepin his boy paid for a guy nobody even knows.

 

[snackgod]

she had a baby/

They been 10/10 for years now tbh, even during Zuffa era.

 

[The Legendary Scarface]

Damn son.
Ricky Simon in the co main got 23k. After taxes and paying his team, He's going home with like half of that.

 

[Reactionary Corporatist]

i didnt have anything else to say about it.

why don't you do the bare minimum and copy and paste the article so people clicking on your thread dont have to jump through an extra hoop???

 

[Emjay]

Then maybe they should be garbage men?

 

[snackgod]

the person saying about dana bets more than fighters make isnt anything new since dana been a huge gambler since day 1

They are amongst the most popular UFC personalities for sure bro.

for example Joanna vs Waterson is set to headline UFC fight night is San Francisco but nothing is inked because of contract dispute from Joanna side.

Paige wants to fight out her contract then check free agency.

and so on
