Chuck Liddell Career Earnings: $4,630,000
What's Dana is saying is these numbers are BS he got paid more then what is reported but then compares it to what Oscar is reported to of paid ignoring the additional money outside of the guarantee that he knows Oscar paid outside of what was reported. Numbers that both Liddell and Ortiz told the media BEFORE the fight. That they were getting larger percentages of the revenue then they ever got with the UFC including live gate, PPVs sold ect. You can't have it both ways your lying snake and compare the before the revenue money is counted from Oscar but compare to phony numbers not disclosed after fighters get a cut of your revenue. The general point is even if you buy this crook White and Liddell was paid 1M, 2M or whatever he is saying Liddell got for his biggest payday that's a phuking joke amount. Wilder and Fury just sold 300K PPVs and both fighters could end up making 10M once all the revenue is counted.
UFC 66: Liddell vs. Ortiz generated over 1M PPVs and a live gate of over 5.3M
let's compare that to some of the boxing events that drew less PPVs around the same time and what those fighters made from that revenue.
Oct 2004: Felix Trinidad $10 Million v Ricardo Mayorga - 470K PPVs sold
May 2005: Felix Trinidad $10 Million v Winky Wright - 510K PPVs sold
Sept 2004: Oscar De La Hoya $30+ Million v Bernard Hopkins - 1M PPVs sold
Mar 2003: Roy Jones Jr $25 Million v John Ruiz - 525K PPVs sold
These fighters made MORE money in 1 night then Liddell did his entire career for fights that drew LESS PPVs generated LESS revenue then Liddell's fights.

View this post on InstagramDanaWhite - I appreciate everything you have done for the me & the sport, in my humble opinion I don’t feel Chuck & I were compensated correctly for all that we gave & sacrificed for the company. When you sold the company for over 4.5 billion dollars how much of that did Chuck and I get ? Nothing.... I’m trying to build something new and rewarding for the sport! This is not about you, it is not about me... I want it to be about the fighters & giving them the opportunity to share in all the rewards this business has to offer to where they don’t have to fight when they are 43 & 48. GoldenBoyBoxing UFC
You can't even list all the UFC fighters that are trashing Dana White and accusing him of robbing the fighters.
