In UFC the 2 main event fighters get a standard purse AND they get a share of the PPV revenue as the main event.
Maybe that is what the $60 evans got is??? but you can bet your ass that Chuck got way over half a mil.
it was all in the argument over pay with Randy. his guaranteed purse per fight was $250,000 i think but with PPV his last couple of fights earned him around $900,000 each fight???
well thats how i remember it anyways.
Its still not the best compared to what most "star" boxers earn.
yeah i agree. btw, the 60k was his win bonus for the fight. chuck got 500k for the fight.
anyway, imo, mma fighters don't get paid enough. i know mma still isn't as big as boxing is worldwide, but i love watching the sport (as i do boxing) and it sucks that the people who make it happen(the fighters) don't get compensated enough..i really hope they get paid more for the sake of the sport. you always want to keep your "stars" happy.
from what i'm seeing, a lot of fighters continue doing this coz this is all they know. most of them have put in (and left behind) too much to turn back. maybe the UFC still isn't making THAT much money but i'm sure Dana White sure could spare a few more dollars for his fighters.
Watch Gaylahoya turn around while gettin hit by Pac's 8 punch combos and waive his arm saying "no more" somehere in the 10th round.
Just one of those bold predictions.:lol1::dance:
:p
i hope so. it irritates me how odlh picked manny over margarito. i mean, i think this is an interesting fight, coz anything could happen. but mostly, i wanna see it coz there's a chance manny will make oscar look like an idiot. i'm sick of everything oscar has been saying recently to hype up the fight and make it seem personal..don't say it's personal, just admit you wanna make some cash!!! hope oscar loses. BAD.
This is really fucked up, one of my favorite fighters just died young, it feels like theres a part of me died.
RIP brother you will be missed forever.
