Disclosed Fighter Payroll: $430,000

[Bluto]

UFC payroll was TWICE as big.

Kharitonov, Overeem etc these are supposed to be pretty big names, but they fight for $10.000 - Jorge Rivera makes more in UFC.

Money talks. Pride need to bring out the big bills or they lose even more fighters to the UFC.

I hope they get paid more when they fight in Japan.

Yeah, twice as big for the top 3 fighters on it. The rest got paid peanuts.

[Bluto]

Jorge is a top three fighter? Want me to post more examples?

[Nathan]

Yep money talks alright, I hope UFC dosn't take all the good fighters cause UFC rules suck IMHO.

Pride took all the top UFC fighters back in 1997-2000

If the UFC had the same rules that it did back in 1993-1996....things would ok

Pride isn't going anywhere after 33. They won over so many new fans.
