Because with my pay I buy his product. I want to know if I'm support another exploitive organization that makes billions and pays their fighters hunedreds like boxing. If that's the case, I won't pay for their products- Just like boxing. It's unconscienable to think Ali or Marciano never saw the money a bum like Tyson saw. Or that washed up fighters have to fight when they can't even speak a sentence, just so they can afford a can of tuna fish.
Every major professional organization publishes the contracts of its principals: football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer and boxing. If Dana wants UFC to be included in this group, I'm sure he wouldn't want a different set of expectations and rules.

What are you talking about?
And to whoever said Chuck makes over half a million per fight, I don't know how much he gets from endorsements but the UFC only pays his 80k to show and I'm not sure on his win bonus. |

Good post. I totally agree.
If Dana wants legitimacy, he's gonna have to open the books.
The UFC is blowing up and this is just the beginning. The fighters are the heart and soul of this organization and their compensation should increase in accordance with overall growth. |

how much do pride fighters get? more or less? if it more than why are these guys over there? if its less than why arent there guys here in the ufc?

I dont have to give you a break, you can wake up and realize the truth, you dumbshit. Dana white pays these guys shit. i know the pays, i've seen them on sites, not forums, exactly from the nevada state athletic comission. Fighters don't care that much because they're just going out there to fight. Smart fighters don't like to put up with Dana White's crap. fore example ortiz didn't, frank shamrock didn't, he never came back, wanderlei had trouble signing a contract, and many others. |

Uh, no. He got 70k to show for Couture II, and I don't remember his contract expiring before for Couture III so the chances of him getting more than 80k for that fight (minus win bonus) is higly unlikely. Like I said earlier though, I don't know how much he gets from sponsors, but his UFC paycheck itself isn't more than 80k (plus win bonus and championship bonus, even then it's nowhere near half a million).

I'm with you, 80K is good enough for me to fight anybody even Fedor. That's enough for the medical bill and money left over to be set for a couple of years. |

exactly. I'd sign a 3 fight deal and fight whoever they wanted for 80K per fight. They just have to give me 6 months of training with like Hugews and the boys there so I don't get killed.. mained is ok for that kind of money |
