Dillashaw tops UFC 177 salaries

September 2, 2014 by Jason Cruz 9 Comments

MMA Junkie reports the salaries for UFC 177 as disclosed by the California State Athletic Commission.  T.J. Dillashaw was the top earner for the night with $150,000 ($50K to show, $50 to win and $50K performance bonus).

Via MMA Junkie:

T.J. Dillashaw: $100,000 (includes $50,000 win bonus)
def. Joe Soto: $20,000

Tony Ferguson: $40,000 (includes $20,000 win bonus)
def. Danny Castillo: $36,000

Bethe Correia: $24,000 (includes $12,000 win bonus)
def. Shayna Baszler: $8,000

Carlos Diego Ferreira: $20,000 (includes $10,000 win bonus)
def. Ramsey Nijem: $18,000

Yancy Medeiros: $24,000 (includes $12,000 win bonus)
def. Damon Jackson: $8,000

Derek Brunson: $44,000 (includes $22,000 win bonus)
def. Lorenz Larkin: $28,000

Anthony Hamilton: $16,000 (includes $8,000 win bonus)
def. Ruan Potts: $10,000

Chris Wade: $16,000 (includes $8,000 win bonus)
def. Cain Carrizosa: $8,000

Payout Perspective:

Dillashaw’s base salary of $50,000 is a dramatic step up ($18K base plus $18K win = $36K) from UFC 173 when he took the title from Barao.  Dana White stated that Barao would not be paid for pulling out late.  At UFC 173, Barao had a base of $74,000.  Not only did Barao lose his title fight, he lost out on a nice payday.  It’s interesting to note that no other fighter had a show purse more than $22,000 (Brunson).

    For once these payout numbers seem about right for the level of the show. Too bad they don’t reflect the amount of money the UFC spent and lost on this one. But they don’t care Dana still gets his 10 million a year salary for being the UFC paid front clown. I hope you saved your money Dana dark times are on the way for you!

    They cant sell it because its a house of smoke and mirrors, they will never open their books to a buyer because they have been burning through the assets and cant show a profit. But don’t get it wrong Zuffa and friends have been paying themselves multi million dollar salaries and have been borrowing through the roof to keep the glass ship afloat. They have also been contracting to companies that they own or have interests in. The world expansion was a last ditch effort to make some quick revenue and get noticed by a foreign buyer, they figured they could sell foreign rights away. Its not working! Meanwhile they have lost half of their main income PPV and are scrambling to keep themselves in the game. The funny thing is they could have been very successful if they planed to adjust to the market instead they tried to create a market that doesn’t exist. You can only parlay something so many times. 2014 is basically over for them, it will be interesting to see what happens in 2015, I see a sudden change in their attitude and I wouldn’t be surprised if they have some major personal changes, only a group of morons would keep it the way its going.

    Yeah, they’ve been burning through their assets and can’t show a profit, right, that is why their credit rating is still in good standing and has been publicly audited. You dumb fuck!

    Right, the foreign expansion isn’t working, that is why they are doing million dollar gates abroad with toilet headliners like the New Zealand show. Or how they have a massive tv contract in Brazil where mma is much more popular than boxing, or how in Mexico they just sold out a show in 8 hrs.

    What you do is just manufacture bullshit in your mind and then convince yourself that it is real. You have no evidence of anything you are claiming, you geriatric, parasite.

    You are Bob Arum’s ultimate welfare to work troll.

Yes, the Pulitzer-winning journalist is the source we should ignore, not the people who continue to want access to the LA sports team they cover. This was a dumb thing to think and an even dumber thing to tweet.
