Title: What exactly does a "Six Figure Contract" mean?
Post by: ieffinhatecardio on May 10, 2006, 01:18:29 PM: All you hear about on TUF is the fighters are battling for a six figure contract yet no one ever explains exactly what it means.

Does it mean $100,000 over 20 years or does it mean $250,000 over 4 years or does it mean something completely different.

I think it cheapens the show when Dana spews on about it.

I'm guessing the contract in and of itself isn't particularly lucrative.

For instance, if you had a typical job making between $35,000-50,000 annually in 2 or 3 years you'd have earned six figures yet no one spews on about that.

Post by: ieffinhatecardio on May 12, 2006, 07:14:35 AM: Dana sounds like he's in the midst of an infomercial when he says "six figure contract". The sport is fighting to be legitimate and I don't think it helps.

And what the fukk is with that dude going home last night because his girlfriend of 5 months thinks he might be cheating?
