fMMANews.com: Do you feel that fighters are under paid?

Tito Ortiz: Oh I definitely think fighters are under paid. The highest paid guys are only making a 1 million to 1.5 million dollars a fight and I think that is way underpaid.

MMANews.com: That is with PPV sales and such added in correct?

Tito Ortiz: Yeah. We only get a small piece of the PPV sales though. Nothing compared to what it could be. The fighters that are promoted well and that promote themselves well and that have big names are those that make the biggest market money. The guys making like $2000 a fight, thats ridiculous. I really feel bad for those guys. What it comes down to is that the UFC needs to start cutting the fighters into the pie instead of giving them the crumbs.

MMANews.com: With the UFC bringing in former Pride fighters such as [Mirko] CroCop and [Heath] Herring, etc. Do you feel that they should be getting the big pay days or should the guys that have been loyal to the UFC start getting bigger checks considering the Pride guys arn't overly well known in the U.S. market?

Tito Ortiz: Yeah, I think the guys that should be getting the most money are the guys that everybody know. Wanderlei and CroCop are well known in Japan but are not really well known in America and maybe they should have to show off their abilities before they really start getting the big money.

MMANews.com: With that being said do you think that may be the reason they are putting the Quinton Jackson and Dan Henderson fight at UFC 75 free on Spike TV?

Tito Ortiz: No, I think that is basically because they have to fulfil their contract with Spike. It's all about ratings with that. UFC brings Spike huge ratings so that's pretty much why. Sponsorship dollars also have a lot to do with it.

MMANews.com: So it is more of a buisness move...

Tito Ortiz: Yeah, it's more buisness than doing it for the fans or for the fighters.

hahahaha, exactly SS, all the UFC and cage fighting is is a bunch of no talent, undisciplined skinny/fat bar room "brawlers" who didn't have the skills to make it as a professional boxer.

Why do clowns who never post on the MMA board insist on posting all the useless UFC shit on the G&O thatthe guys on the MMA board don't even care about?

Bump for the truth. The days when it wasn't mainstream were cool. I'm sure TapOut's loving it with their $400 billion in sales they're probably doing this year. I heard the greater the number of TapOut logos on your car and wardrobe, the better your "cage fighting" skills.

What's your point of spamming that on a gimmick. Anyone that knows about the UFC can find out when UFC 75 is in 30 seconds. Thanks for the groundbreaking announcement!

With UFC becoming more and more popular, people are going to wear clothing like tapout and stuff. WHO FUCKIN CARES. If i'm a fan am I not allowed to wear that stuff. People wear football and basketball jerseys all the time, not because they think they are a pro athlete, but simply because they are a fan.

Wearing TapOut and not training or doing anything but jerking off to UFC fights is a sure sign of you TUF fanboy faggotry. The only people dumb enough to wear tapout are rednecks and morons who show up to one class and quit after getting submitted 30 times in 5 minutes by a white belt.
