Georges St.Pierre earns $400,000 for Hendricks fight.

That's pretty ridiculous for the UFC's most marketable fighter.  Even if his bonus money put him over the 1 to 2 million mark he's still getting screwed by Dana.  Crazy.

I would have guessed a hell of a lot more than that.

40 mill per bout, that's crazy when you look at it in perspective.

I wouldn't even fight Steve Marcello for 40 mill

The UFC (Dana, Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta and their other "silent partner" from the middle east) have always had a raw deal with its fighters.

In the past, many fighter have spoken up about it (Rampage, Tito, Tim Kennedy) and have quickly been silenced and even dismissed from the company soon after their contracts expired.

This isn't surprising, but at least GSP makes the most out of any UFC fighter. The guy brings in $12 million a year. That's not too bad, but can certainly be better.

Part of the problem is that the UFC (Dana in particular) does all the promoting for these fights. So, he justifies that since he hypes these fights as he does and garners a large following prior to the actual event, that he is directly responsible for a large part of the pay out. If the fighters had better managers and even a promotion team on their side, they could negotiate better contracts.

I bet Dana is paid more than the entire fight card put together. What a scam they got going. They are the only game in town.

Yeah, The Fertittas and Dana are laughing all the way to the bank with all the money they're making on UFC

Many of their fighters really get peanuts while UFC is raking in loads of money on their fights, ppvs, merchandise etc

"I think Georges should retire. One of the reasons I think Georges should retire is he was on my podcast and he was talking about being abducted by aliens. I was going, 'you think you've been abducted by aliens?' He starts talking about missing time.

He started talking about driving his car, and all of a sudden he's at home and he has no idea [how] he got there. I think it's head kicks. That fight he had some serious memory loss (at UFC 167). I think he's taken too many shots. An interesting statistic is that Georges has taken more punches and kicks in the last three fights than any of his fights, ever.

In fact, 50-percent of the shots he's taken his entire career, were in the last three fights. I think he should get out. I know the UFC probably doesn't want to hear me say that. I know that could be a huge rematch. I think they should just give Johny Hendricks the belt. I think Johny Hendricks won that fight. I think there's real problems with judging, and I don't think there should be a way for a guy to win a fight, but yet lose a fight." - Joe Rogan

The Fertittas deserve it , they were down $50 million before UFC came out of the red and started making money. They assumed all of the risk and should reap the rewards.

It's all about the PPV , if UFC had PPV like boxing,  fighters would be making millions.
