How did tate get screwed? She's an average fighter who was coming into the fight after taking a beating from cat zingano. The fact that she was even allowed to face rhonda again is a travesty.
not to mention she got an extra 75 gs for fight of the night

How the fuck did misha tate sell 10 million buys? You think people ordered pay per view to see an average mma female fighter lose?

 ::) Reread the post Issac. Not 10,000,000 buys, $10,000,000 in PPV buys. At $59.99 per buy that's 166,666 PPV buys. Her feud with Ronda and PR on TUF sold well more than that number. She easily generated $10,000,000 in revenue for UFC for UFC 168. Easily.

I didn't see the fight, did she at least make Ronda work for the W?

A little. 3rd round sub.  Misha fought stupid. She fought Ronda's fight.  She had lost the first two rounds.

I figured she'd win, just hoping it was a decent fight is all.

  Take half away for taxes.

  Then after there is half left... pay the people they owe money, pay their trainers, coaches, gym fees, equipment fees, ped fees, etc


 left with shit


 

Right there.  Exactly.

Not to mention that Dana White requires sponsors to pay them a minimum fee for the right to sponsor any individual fighter.

Different company.  Monster cables.  They used to make Beats by Dre headphones.

Check out the story of how Beats by Dre had Monster cables sign the worst contract in business history.  It's pretty awesome to be honest.  For Dr. Dre anyway.

Until they unionize and quit being company men and women it will always be this way. It's fucking pathetic. Dana and the Fertitta (sp?) brothers should have their asses kicked for this shit.

Very true, what's funny is big business is trying to brain was wage earners that unions are bad

"Right to work" = right to get screwed ;D

Right didn't now I had to pinpoint every detail for you. You said misha tate alone contributed to $10,000,000 in pay per view buys alone? Do you now take that retarted statement back or do you still stand by it? People bought the pay per view fight because of one fight only. That's the rematch with silva and weidman and if you can't see that then you're an idiot. I didn't even know who the hell misha tate was until this event and I'm more than a casual mma fan.

These athletes aren't underpaid at all.

All other professional sports are overpaid.

Exactly and it was perplexing that she was trying to take her down when it was obvious she needed to strike and move!

That was frustrating to watch!

The only female fighter that can really fight is Cyborg but Dana White won't hire her because she's ugly as fuck.

Compared to "pro" bodybuilding UFC is okay.

In kickboxing and K1 / Pride, judo, karate, muay thai, tea kwon do the pay is miserable. So not surprising that the same applies for UFC.

MMA guys bragg a lot but there not very smart: in boxing or entertaiment wrestling they could earn 100 times more....
