Why is the UFC so stingy with performance bonuses?

[achoo42]

Fight of the Night: Cub Swanson vs. Billy Quarantillo
Performance of the Night: Dustin Jacoby and Michael Johnson

What did else Dana want from Kape, Alvarez, and Woodson? These were all highlight reel finishes.

Dana literally throws away 50k per hand of blackjack and he couldn't be fucked to give these guys a bonus?

Slow down chief

U Fight Cheap has never been more prevalent.

Christmas is coming. Can't expect Dana to have a snow-free driveway, you greedy fans

 

[MMA_AZ]

50K bonuses in 2024 and you're asking that question

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Cos that's the only thing they're cheap with? It's part of a broader pattern of stitching up their fighters.

 

[Tapatio]

Because the UFC is not career, it's an opportunity ...to make me rich!

It is absolutely wild that Alvarez didn't get a performance bonus.

Also, with inflation, those $50k bonuses he's refusing to give out are now worth about $15k less than it was when the bonuses started.

I'm sure they'll get a lifetime supply of Prime.

I’m sure those guys got compensated outside of their fight purse for their performances, you just won’t hear about it.

Dana throwing 50k on a hand Black Jack is literally HIS OWN MONEY from his personal bank account, not the UFC’s as Businesses payouts.

People’s hate obsession with Dana period and what he does with his money is the weirdest fucking thing in all my years on this site.

Blame the fighters on UFC 304.

 

[gracie_barra_samurai]

50k in 2024 is like a year's rent in the ghetto projects

But they couldn't get a public bonus...because...??

How the fuck do you think Dana gets paid lmao? He's literally one of the biggest shareholders. Any expenses the UFC has hurts his personal profit margin.

Jesus Christ how do you even have the brain power to breathe?

Not quite as weird as sucking off a multimillionaire who doesn't know you exist.

Because that's now how it fucking works you dummy goof!

How the fuck do you think Dana gets paid lmao? He's literally one of the biggest shareholders in TKO. Any expenses the UFC has hurts his personal profit margin.

Dana isn’t fucking paying fighters out of his own personal bank account you fucken clown. What he fucking does with his money shouldn’t fucking concern you.

The hate obsession with Dana is warranted because he’s cutthroat when it comes to business, but he has to be to keep5(3 company a float.

But when you weirdos start comparing what he does with his money like he should be the one paying the fighters from his own personal bank account is fucking ridiculous, when in reality he probably has no control at this point in what the fighters get paid.

I have brain power to breathe because I’m logical, I’m not letting my emotions and jealous hate towards Dana to not post something like Dana uses 50k in Blackjack to justify him paying out the rest of the bonuses, when in reality these will get compensated outside of their contracted payout.

...You don't know how shares work? Dana White is rich because he owns a part of the company. When the company pays fighters, he is personally losing money because he owns part of the company.

I hope you are under the age of 18 because it's truly fucking embarrassing to be a grown-ass adult and not understand this.

Not quite as weird as sucking off a multimillionaire who doesn't know you exist.

What the fuck does that have to do with my post, I’m not sucking nobody off you fucking idiot. I’m just not as stupid as you’re thinking Dana has full control in what fighters get paid out.

Is that your comeback? Anytime someone doesn’t jump on the bandwagon of hate towards Dana, you automatically assume they’re sucking him off?

Dana sold his shares, he makes most of his fucking money gambling nowadays with the money he got paid.

Dana is just an employee at this point.

3 labeled performance bonuses is incentive to perform, you're a fool if you really believe that is stingy. Dana's personal spending has nothing to do with UFC spending. Additionally, he hands out bonuses behind the scenes.

We won't know how much he still owns after the TKO/Endeavor merger, which is supposed to close in 2025. We don't know how big of a stake he has in Endeavor either.

Even if his current stake in the UFC is 0%, he has owned a huge chunk of the company for decades.
