Colby should get paid 15k + 10% Reebok coupon for his title fight
If he wants anything more, they should cut him on the spot.

well maybe the fighters should start their own fighters league to pay themselves.... oh waitBecause fighters are grossly underpaid as confirmed my UFC lawsuit court documents (UFC 80% of revenue vs fighters 20%)
Or will they lowball both fighters and make them fight anyway?
Will U Fight Cheap pay Usman and Colby or will they move on without them?
if UFC is so bad then why are the most financial stable MMA fighters currently in the UFC and made their money in the UFC.Because fighters are grossly underpaid as confirmed my UFC lawsuit court documents (UFC 80% of revenue vs fighters 20%)

He got 350k to show vs RDA for the interim, then down to 45+45 for Lawler. This one would be for the real belt, so going by disclosed pays of other title fights he probably asked something like 500k flat. Doubtful he gets anywhere close to that. The UFC backed him up with promotion at 225 and that ppv bombed in a fight where he did 25 mins of hugging. The views and his fight against Lawler weren't much of an improvement.usman is the chammp, they will clearly pay him.
but colby is the one they can fuck with and not match what he wants. someone else will take the fight. who knows what colby is asking for, but its funny his lawler fight he got paid 45k to show. i bet he is asking for a couple hundred k to fight (200k-300k).
cheers buds. i forgot to look at the rda fight pay since that would be more akin what he would ask.He got 350k to show vs RDA for the interim, then down to 45+45 for Lawler.

I just don't understand it. Yes, UFC fighters should get paid more but it's just landscape currently of the sport. The pay has gone up significantly as the years went by and the UFC has gotten fighters who otherwise wouldn't have a career after fighting with jobs. Hardy,Florian,Felder, Bisping, Noguiera, Cormier,Forrest etc. And even when the UFC does pay well for a example in Khabib, fans still shit on them.Yeah and whats really interesting for most fighters or workers are not how many % of the you get but whats actually getting into your bank account.
How ever you slice it UFC pays better on average than any other org.
Hell Bellator still pays guys 2000 a fight or even less.
But for some reason people never complain about that.

Usman & Colby are just trying to get their worth, but what they don't understand is they both don't have that "it" factor at the moment. maybe Colby but it's still yet to be seen. I have a feeling UFC will strip Usman & not offer him a fight for a while if they keep playing grab ass. Either maybe these guys go to Bellator, I heard they make good money according to fans.
that's the thing though you kinda have a name and established fan based for Coker to sign you up. I remember Aljamain Sterling tested out the free agency thinking Bellator was going to give him a nice contract. Months later it comes out that Bellator never offered him or was even in their radar.Well they are former UFC fighters, Scott is known to pay them very well.
On the card with Chael vs Rampage (They made IIR 300K or similar) Chandler was also fighting and made a flat 50K..
