Payout Perspective:
Mir’s $200K flat appears to be his standard pay at this point. Thomson’s $85K was second on the pay roster for last week. Notably, Holly Holm’s first UFC fight at UFC 184 was at $25K/$25K. She made the same on Wednesday.
$12,000 for a main event fighter, come on.
hahah that doesn’t even cover food hotels and travel for him and a crew after taxes. Never mind training and medical. seriously sad for a promotion that claims to be BIGGER THEN BOXING Bahahahahhahahahah
Saldamoron. UFC pays his travel/lodging along with his trainer. His medical is also covered inside and outside the octagon by the UFC. This also not his full pay.
Boxing banner promotions do not cover these costs.
D is 100% wrong the UFC does not pay any of this!! Nice try you are the moron! Stop talking out your ass! D makes up pay for fighters too, some secret back room pay. Get the fuck outa here!!!!
D and the UFC just plain out make shit up and lie, they are so desperate right now. All numbers down down down.. Still waiting for some facts on positive numbers and growth!!!!
Sal, you are the most sociopathic liar on here. What I stated were facts you fucking moron. What was I wrong about?
It is a fact that the UFC pays for all of their fighters travel and lodging plus their head trainer.
It is a fact that the UFC insures the fighters both in and out of the Octagon.
It is a fact that those figures are not necessarily the fighters full pay- notably the headliners.
It is a fact that boxing banner promotions cover none of this for their fighters.
