Some of these guys are making impressive money. Chael is at 32/32? Good for him. Emerson walking away with 24 is good money, too. I like these figures, outside of Torres’ 4k (though he’s been sitting on this rookie contract for a long time— feel bad for him that the escalated figures don’t adjust to a contract that’s been idle).

torres and hague are foreigners though
they always have lower disclosed payouts for tax reasons and all that shit
That's possible
I guess I don’t always think about that.

yea dan miller isnt though
someones paychecks a little light
I think Dana takes care of both Miller
boys, they have already become company men by talking fights on short notice. They also has a blue collar work ethic and bring it every fight.
I’m not sure that’s the case here. Just because it happens with guys like Mousasi and the Dream guys who are already under contract to other promotions, doesn’t mean they’ll go through the hassle for everyone. There are rules around making payments to foreigners just to avoid taxes. M-1 and Dream can do much easier.

It’s not just about foreigners.
Every fighter can get more than what is reported to the commission, for various reasons.
There are consistently stories about them coming out, these numbers are a bare minimum of what the promoter gives the fighter.
According to athletic commisions Trigg received 1 dollar one time, Walker got 600, (even though everyone was saying that he was donating his 6 figure purse to charity) Fedor got 300k for Sylvia, Esquire said Shogun got 250k extra for his last fight, and so on and so on.
I think it’s actually 3 fights at 25k, with 25k win bonuses, which lets them call it “six figures”.

i was thinking the same thing. I think the undercard guys are getting better money then they used to, and i have to think that compared across other organizations it has to be more inviting for incoming talent. Good job by the UFC to take care of everyone and not just the main headliners. i know the disparity is still huge, but i think it is improving
Rolles got 15k, Good for him.
now go train more cardio (might be cause of jitters too)… And fight Kimbo next.

Gotta say, you really called that when people doubted that fight being a good fight for either man. Somewhere, Joe Silva is wishing he would have listened to you. Could have headlined its own UFN to be honest.
Good news is, they can still pull it off.

Thiago is underpaid, he’s getting paid the same as Rolles Gracie! At least he got sub of the night bonus as well.
Do people seriously believe these guys get a new contract every fight?

He's probably still on his rookie contract.
He’ll get a raise after the way he’s been performing lately.

Serra had a successful night...
150 K, plus 60 k bonus, plus sponsors…. and he runs a few schools. Good stuff….
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
Yeah, good to see the UFC is treating him well. He’s been in the company forever and he’s a former champ, even if everyone else seems to have forgotten that.
Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing.
