Top guys make fantastic money. The 200,000 that Mir and JDS got was what the UFC disclosed. They often times just hand them bonuses in the locker room. Some top fighters also get a % of the PPV buys (Lesnar easily took in a few mill every time he fought.) You also have to remember the sponsers, expos, gyms etc.... Guys like Mir and Dos Santos take in a few mill a year easy. Even the shitbags make a few hundred thousand a year.

the fertitta brothers and dana are getting crazy rich while most fighters get chump change. danas always braggin about the ufc is more popular then boxing but guys like mayweather and pac man make way more money then the ufc champs ::) id like to see all the mma fighters get paid better overall. guys like tito and chuck are well off but alot of the ex ufc champs are not. pride fc paid the fighters really good money, japan took care of the fighters

the ufc are cheap bastards and always will be, the fertitta brothers and dana are getting crazy rich while most fighters get chump change. danas always braggin about the ufc is more popular then boxing but guys like mayweather and pac man make way more money then the ufc champs ::) id like to see all the mma fighters get paid better overall
I'd have to agree with you on this, thought Dos Santos would pocket $1M or something, given he is the HW champ? Didn't someone post a video of a fighter living large? I guess he was living off of credit cards. I don't think any of these guys will be seeing a Mayweather or Pac payday anytime soon.

Lets get real for a second. Sure the fighters could get paid more, but they would go out of business if they were giving every tom, dick, and harry a million+ per fight. The top guys get paid very well (millions per year) The scrubs get paid shit, because nobody would come to see them otherwise. You have to work your way up the ladder. You think those local shitbag boxers make alot of money?

Velasquez: $200,000 (includes $100,000 win bonus)

It is going to cost Antonio Silva more than that to fix his face. ;D

It was Josh Koscheck. He had a nice house, 3 or 4 cars, and a plane or helicopter? Josh is a mid-level fighter, yet he has made multiple millions.

it alls boils down to your selling rate as a fighter, tito can still pack the arena and hasnt held the belt for along time. chuck could come outta retirement tomorrow and hed sell out the arena in 1 day, we all know tito and chuck are past their prime but they would get huge draws, if a fighter puts asses in the seats he will get paid well.

They don't get pay because in the UFC all fighters are replaceable, they are selling a brand , if a fighter gets hurt or get caught using steroids,or whatever it doesn't matter they don't cancel the show they just replace him
if Floyd ,Manny ,Khan ..........gets hurt , there will be no fight .

how much did Dana White make that night?

It's not how much the UFC pays, It's how fucking overpaid boxers are!!!!! How on earth can you argue that manny or floyd are worth 20-30 million a fight? Thats rediculous.
-
jamie varner should get paid better, he should get 50k to fight in his next fight with a 25k win bonus imo. varner always puts on a great show and goes for the finish always

They have contracts for a reason. Perfect example would be a guy like Dan Hardy. Hardy fought Gsp for the championship a few years ago. He just made 50,000 dollars (flat pay, not counting anything else) to fight in the first fight of the free card. If you are on a winning streak when your contract is up, you will get a nice raise.

i thought bang was gonna beat hardy, hardys tough as nails though and showed it

Yeah I'm glad Hardy won. I have always liked him. He needs to get better on the ground though. He does very well against strikers, but this is mma.

Floyd and Manny put asses in seats and draw huge ppv numbers. Their purses are measured from that.
Most boxers don't even come close to their purse because they cannot draw the demand like they can.....same thing in ufc.

I guess. Kind of like Lesnar, GSP, or Silva. All make a few million a fight with everything included. Boxing is a dead sport though. There will be nothing left once Manny and Floyd retire.

How is Struve making more money than Roy Nelson? Nobody gives a shit about Struve...Nelson = $$$$

Dana never really liked Nelson. I'm sure he used some lowball tactics for his contract (take it or leave it) some fighters need to know how to negotiate for a decent contract.

That's shit pay.

A few stiches is all he needed.

Once floyd and manny retire the viewing public's attention will be redirected to other fighters and a handful will be the cash cows. It's always been that way in boxing. Always. This is probably one of the few times that the two guys that have all the demand and are in the same weight range to fight and won't fight.
It's usually a weird combination like a Heavyweight and Middleweight or MW and Welter or LightHW and welter who are the $$$ kings during a certain era. Lightweight to jr Middle is jam packed. Once Andre Ward moves to Light Heavy that place will be insane and super middle is no walk in the park.
Boxing is here...but as always the public will be feed 1 or 2 guys to follow as the face of the sport and they'll pay to see them no matter what.

When I was a kid in the early 80's there were so many great, marketable fighters. You had Leonard, Duran, Hearns, cuevas, antefuermo, Hagler, Benitez, Arguello, Pryor, Mancini.... all of them fighting from lightweight up to middleweight. It was a great time to be a fan...you look at today against that standard and you can't help but be bored by it.
-
Fighter salaries are not the be all and end all of their pay. Didnt Matt Hughes get a $1 million bonus for beating Royce? The bonuses handed out, along with sponsorship, mean that the top guys can life an affluent to wealthy lifestyle comfortably and not live fight to fight.
-
roy nelson imo is a well rounded fighter and if he keeps up the good work should get a title shot, unfortunatly for roy is that dana will do everything in his power not to let it happen. reason is dana is about marketing the ufc and he doesnt want roy representing the ufc hw div, not because roy cant fight but because roy looks like hes outta shape. same thing happened with tank abbott, john perretti, who was the old ufc matchmaker before joe silva, made sure of that. i like roy and all but when he starts rubbin his stomach and stuff you can clearly see it pisses dana off bigtime. me as a fan doesnt really care what a fighter looks like build was, if he can kick ass and show off great skills thats all that matters to me

How do you not see that overhand right coming? Besides a good chin, that is all Roy has (aside from a decent ground game.) Mir fucking toyed with Roy. That should tell you all you need to know.
-
Roy's a solid pro...a really good gatekeeper. There's footage of him and Mir grappling in a tournament back when Roy looked like an athlete...He has a better than decent ground game. If he would pull his head out of his ass and cut the blubber, he would be a threat at 205. I'd love to see him crank a few of those rights at Jones' noggin

that was a great match with mir and roy

A few stitches is all he needed.
He may have to get those fight shorts dry cleaned. That's $2.50 minimum.

So the UFC paid out 1.2 million. How much did they pull in for that pay per view? Fifty million bucks? How much will Mayweather or Manny Pac make for their next fight? 20 million each?
