NOTES: Lesnar stood to earn a $200,000 win bonus... The $60,000 Performance Bonuses are the largest in UFC history. There had been speculation that these bonuses were being reduced due to cost cutting, however, that does not appear to be the case. It unclear how the bonuses are determined, however, pay-per-view bonuses due and show profile appear to play a large part.[/COLOR]

Take a look at brocks payday wowwwww. he signed a phat contract. same with Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. what do you guys think?[/B]

glad mir got the sub of the night bonus. i think he deserves more and brock deserves less. overall, 140k is not a bad pay day. i know its been mentioned about brock bringing in ppv buys, which is true, i think he is over paid for having so little mma experience. maybe that is why the cost of ppv went up 5 bucks. lol. for only fighting two times, and only once in the ufc--that is too much. yeah, nog signed a good contract, but he deserves every penny of it. lytle made out pretty good.

yeah i agree but i think the UFC should make a min salary maybe 35K because 5K come on these fighters have to pay bills, training partners, you know what i mean some only fight once a year so thats pretty fuked up.

wow @ the major purses.

These fighters are all sponsered tho, so they get paid from the company they rep as well as UFC. Those salaries are all pathetic compared to the top boxing salaries tho.

I'm real glad for Frank Mir, no one paid him any attention and he survived a barage to win the fight

yeah i asked this guy on another forum hes a pro mma fighter, i asked him about how much are these sponsorship deals. he never replied. do you have any info on that stuff?^^

I have no idea how much they are, I know that you get free clothes and all that but as far as payments I don't know
