Wonderboys pay is shocking

[Brit_Brawler]

I have been following this whole mess of darren till missing weight closely. I hear that Stephen will receive 30 percent of Darren’s fight purse.

This got my wondering what does this really mean? Is this money worth it for wonderboy?
It turns out that i really don’t know the answer to that.
Every little helps I guess. the guy is getting paid fucking peanuts.

Wonderboys disclosed pay structure is disgusting imo.
The guy is one of the very top guys, former title challenger.

Take a look at this :

In wonderboys last fight against masvidal he only earned 29k/ 29k plus 10k reebok. Am I missing something here?

According to that very same source till earned 16k/16k against cerrone.

Does the 30 percent mean total including tills show and win ( if he wins)?

If this is only show then that only amounts to $4800. Is that really
worth it ?
Thompson stands to make an extra 4800 to fight a guy much heavier and could risk messing up his career with a devasting loss

29K 29K ? that is absoloutely a shocker . i was thinking he made 80K to win, and that was on my low estimation

 

[tasticles]

He is paid more than enough.

 

[TemDee]

Till probably clears 100k for this fight. AFAIK it's just based on your show money, and they won't be eligible for fight of the night.

 

[GreatWhiteBuffalo]

Wtf that can’t be right..

 

[TemDee]

He is paid more than enough.

68k after paying out his camp is what an american trash man makes.

 

[Sole]

I would've figured Wonderboy was making at least 100k to show.

Pretty gross, tbh.

 

[CPH]

Karateka fight for honor, not money and bitches.

Show me a picture of Wonderboy in a fancy car or next to an attractive woman - u can't.

 

[Brit_Brawler]

Wtf that can’t be right..

Check the link. That was his highest purse too as a non title challenger .Some of his other fights were much less.

 

[AC1D1K]

He is paid more than enough.

no way! wonderboy the best he should be paid the best. ( 1 million)

For 15/25 minutes work? They got any jobs going?

 

[RyuHayabusa]

Wow! Thats what happens when your a wonderboy instead of a wonderwomen

 

[Brit_Brawler]

He is paid more than enough.

 

[mmaElite53]

Fighters gotta start refusing these trash contracts.

 

[Sansnom]

 

[Philtard]

That's gotta be a typo.

Surely.

 

[Brit_Brawler]

For 15/25 minutes work? They got any jobs going?

You think all their work is the fight? What about all the time they give up to train for months on end not to mention the costs.

The fight is just the culmination.
Stop being so small minded.

 

[Krixes]

This crazy stuff happens, wasn't Nate Diaz on some BS 20k/20k deal before he fought Conor????

Conor makes millions and Wonderboy makes 50k? Weird.

I’d imagine the pay will be similar to UFC Fight Night: 128 (When Lee missed weight)
