Maybe you don't understand promotion
but the draw makes the most. In this case it was Pudz.

I’m guessing you didn’t watch the show.
That place absolutely exploded when Pudzilla came out. Sylvia got nothing but crickets.

Makes sense...
They probably got a ton of buys from Poland.
Roxy got hosed
I hope they paid for her plane ticket, otherwise she fought for free (or negative). Sadly she probably won’t make much for in Strikeforce.
Women’s MMA has a shallow talent pool, the numbers up there are the reason why.
Yeah LaRosa
has been toted as the P4P top female MMA for last couple years and she made less than a UFC undercard fighter =(
Shame her and Roxy didn’t get more, they were easily the best fight on the card.
Shogun lost a close decision! Everyone get crazy!
OMFG THESE GUYS GET PAID SHHHHIIIITTTTTT!!!!!!
PBF gets 40 million a fight. Moonsin is using fighters, we need a FIGHTERS UNION NOW!!!!!
Sigh

I guess the 87 exclamation points and excessive caps should have tipped off my sarcasm detector, but the way some of the comments on hot-button issues have been recently it’s getting harder and harder to tell.

You do realize this fight didnt generate 80 million dollars like a PBF fight would though right? Money doesn’t grow on union trees.
like a finger?

I don't know, but the way JimJoe subject line being in all caps was a dead giveaway.
Along with TRE’s post.
Absolutely

wow good for PUDZ bringing home the bacon. Atleast he got a nice cheque out of the beatdown he received
quite literally.
Pudz claimed in an interview that he eats 10 eggs, and 2 to 3 pounds of Bacon..for breakfast.
Goldberg: "He's got him in some kind of strange choke I've never seen before!"
Rogan: "That's a rear naked choke."
That’s great!

Women's pay is way too low
Roxy and Tara are Top p4p fighters.
They deserve at least +10k.
Otherwise no complains
No one came to see Roxy and Tara fight
It’s based on draw not deserving.

I cared more about watching Roxy and Larosa than Sylvia and Pudz.
Draw is a big part of pay, but you reward employees in any business that work extra hard. There better have been a FOTN bonus that wasn’t listed.
Deserve’s got nothing to do with it.

In the dreadfully thin womens’ division, top 10 is not as much of an accomplishment as the mens.
And skillwise, are they really underpaid?
Did you watch their fight and the Pudz/Sylvia fight? I kind of doubt you did if you’re wanting to compare skill vs. pay.
Those two are overpaid, but you have to also adjust your expectations of skill when you’re watching superheavies.
130-140 lb women on the other hand, exist in a more agile weight class.
Getting on the argument of skill is pretty dicey. The reason for that is that generally, the FOTN many times goes to the least technically sound fight (i.e. Garcia vs Jung or a Chris Lytle fight). One of the most historic MMA fights out there, Griffin vs Bonnar, was not at all technical or displayed this great amount of skill. To be honest, Modafferi vs LaRosa actually had a good amount of overall MMA skill involved (standup, wrestling, and BJJ) plus other factors like heart, endurance, attrition, etc.

wow.

The UFC paid him 500k? I doubt that, even when he was champion. I could see 100-200k.
I don’t think his standards are too high right now considering he was fighting Ray Mercer in Alabama not too long ago and has been hoping that SF/UFC would want to pick him up.
Pretty sure his UFC pay was $100k + $100k when he left, of course he was at the end of a contract and getting ready to renegotiate with them a the time. We also don’t know if he had a PPV percentage or not (although I would bet he didn’t). For a guy who was making $200k for a UFC win in 2008 this is a big drop, if you compare it to his $800k for losing on Affliction payday though then things really get sad. It’s been a long way down for Tim Sylvia.
I wonder how much they made from the PPV. If you take the number of tickets sold and multiply that by say $40 a ticket that’s $160,000 which only covers the payroll for the head liners. I don’t know how much tickets were but regional shows like that are usually pretty cheap. The cost of the the rest of the fighters salaries. venue, production, crew etc all add up.
Good to see Tim keeping the wolves at bay for a while though.
Well IIRC they plan on doing numerous shows so they probably took the financial hit on the first show to get the promotion out there, then hopefully start to make money over time. I’m no expert, just a thought.

Most accomplished UFC HW champ only walks away with 50k?
Doesn’t Keith Jardine pull more than that?
by pickleofguatemala on Jun 7, 2010 7:52 PM EDT reply actions
Isn't Shane Carwin getting 50k?
Not a bad payday for a guy in terrible shape fighting a freak show in a small org.
Have to agree.. considering how much Timmy’s stock has fallen lately, and what sub-par opponent he faced here, 50k isn’t all that bad for a relatively small show like this one.
by Horselover Fat on Jun 8, 2010 5:05 AM EDT up reply actions
In three fights Travis Lutter went from headlining a UFC card against Anderson Silva to fighting for 4k in a Mickey Mouse promotion
$50K Sucks for Timmy.
Hopefully he invested the money he made from getting stomped by Fedor properly.
wow.
Them’s some starvation wages at the low end. Once they’ve paid expenses, Stipe Miocic and Paul Barry probably would have done better to donate blood a couple of times…
