$160,000 for 2 minutes of work.

Marlon's gotta be loving life.

 

[Thesnake101]

Dat main event money for Barajas.

Holy shit

Way too lazy to do the math but assume Moraes made more than the rest combined and maybe doubled. Crazy.

Getting paid that money to take out easy work in rec centers? I want him in the UFC but fuck, hard sell leaving that.

 

[Damian Bartlett]

Thats crazy... Barajas needs a new agent. He was likely so sold on the "chance to be the champion if you win, THEN make money" that he neglected to realise he was facing a monster like Moraes in exchange for $5k and career shortening damage.

Jamie Yager $1000 yikes

 

[JayPettryMMA]

My god, look at the pay disparity between Moraes and everyone else. He made almost four times more than the entire rest of the card that night.

Valiev did a pretty good number even losing

Valiev is managed by Ali.

It will be interesting to see what WSOF looks like in a year from now. Moraes, Gaethje, and Branch will most likely jump ship once their contracts are up.

Moraes for sure will move, not sure about the other two.

I don't know how many times we have to go over this... it's not 2 mins of work. Take an average 5 hours of the 3 month camp and then add in the insanity of the weight cutting and general prep. Fighting is a full time job. Yes, Marlon is a highly-paid commodity, but he's not getting $160k for 2mins of work.

You are the definition of an attention whore. How many minutes did he spend in the cage? 2. That's what I'm referring to. Want to mention how much he made on sponsors and endorsements too?

But feel free to boost your ego.

You sound salty, son.

No matter what the amount of money he makes, it wasn't for 2mins of work. It was for months of work leading to a performance. Actors don't get paid for a two-hour movie. They are paid for the prep and shoot time.

And just an aside: What attention did I want? I just pointed out something you said that was an incorrect notion. If you didn't respond, very few people would have noticed my comment.
