Mid-Level UFC Fighter Vs. Jay Cutler Homes

[Gab]

I thought these mid level fighters got paid nothing. Could it be he came from a rich family and it has nothing to do with UFC?  It was just a couple of years ago the headliner from a UFC fight got paid $200K. 

Can somebody fill me in what these guys are making?  That is an impressive crib and rides.

headliners get a % of the ppv buys that the event gets. GSP makes around 3-4 million $ per fight. koscheck mainevented vs him in montreal and prolly got around 1-2 mil for that i would assume. also heard a former manager in the sport says that if a guy earned 200k for a fight (and wasnt getting ppv cut) he could get them atleast that much in sponsor money aswell.

I don't believe GSP gets 3 to 4 million a fight.  It seems every guy that retires from the UFC complains about how the pay stinks. Even their fight bonus for fight of the night is low.  I hear Dana and crew have incredible wealth. It seems every boxing match how much the fighters get is out there and the only real game in town for MMA the UFC wants to keep pay a secret.

wrong, GSP ended up with over 3 million for the fight in Toronto.For the last BJ Penn fight GSP got 600 000 dollars for the night of the fight only, then he got a percentage of the payperview, well over half a million there and he got paid big dollars for the promotional shows leading up to the fight. The UFC is not the only game in town either, Andre Arlovski got 1.5 million for his fight with Fedor. I think most fighters complain cause the gap between the big names and the no names. I remember Kieth Jardine got 20 thousand 1 fight as a nobody then six months later found himself in a co-main event making 150 thousand

Not bad for a few bums who fuck about down the gym for a couple of hours, and then go shopping all day with their 'hot' girlfriends.

Then they are getting decent paydays. I wonder if they will ever get to the big boxing fight pay days?
