Why did Rory's purse decrease to $40k?

because N.M.F.




needs more finishes.

I'm surprised Rory isn't earning more. Been on top for a while and has a pretty good following.

True, plus he is Canadian, and UFC has very few Canadians stars now, he is a big star for them in terms of that market.

Rory doesn't like the amount he is getting paid. He thinks he deserves more. He wants to test free agency. Your comment is shit.

He probably is unhappy and he very well may deserve more, whatever he is making. All people are saying is that it is pretty unlikely Rory is only getting 40k to fight and that he has a contract set up to pay him less as he continues to fight.

There are lots of reasons a contract may drop (structured for tax-purposes, up-front signing bonuses, etc) other than he and his manager signed a contract to make less each fight than he made prior. That wouldn't make sense.
 
If he puts in a dominant performance against Wonderboy he will be in a good negotiating position to rake in the $
 
I'm sorry but that's a goddamn disgrace. Mayor McCheese is making millions while one of the best WWs in MMA is making peanuts. Hell, I wouldn't take a hundred Gs for that beating Robbie gave him in their second fight, let alone 40k.

Wether it's unlikely or not, it's the only figures people can comment on and even if Rory gets more money than that, he's still unhappy with it.

Well it's hard to know what the market value is without knowing other people's contracts. But the way they played hardball with him and have him Wonderboy as the last fight on his contract when they knew he was unhappy tells me he probably has a legit beef. The UFC is hoping to make him look bad imo.

The sites go off reported income from tax returns and things like disclosed pay and endorsement deals and property. Forbes uses the same type of formulas.

Here is another site that just uses the disclosed pay/bonuses (since pay started being disclosed for fighters in 2004).

# 91 Rory MacDonald* $ 885,000

What are you basing your conclusion on that these methods aren't reliable?

Tax returns are confidential, no? They aren't a matter of public record.

I usually like yr posts, but I gotta say there are people on there that I know the numbers reported for are way off

Who knows. It's fucking ridiculous though. You're not gonna pay a guy who gave us the best fight of 2015 and who had his nose obliterated in the process?

it's known for a long time when fighters give great fights they are well compensated backstage. if fighters have said anything over the years, it's been that
