Rousey is not receiving a bonus if she wins. She may also be receiving a PPV upside.
In addition, Dominick Cruz will be making $350,000 (no win bonus) in defending his bantamweight title. Cody Garbrandt will make $200,000 (no win bonus). T.J. Dillashaw will make $100,000 ($100,000 win bonus) and his opponent John Lineker will make $43,000 ($43,000 win bonus).
Payout Perspective:
The $3 million is ties her with Conor McGregor for the highest-reported pay for a UFC fighter. Nunes made $100,000 at UFC 200, but no win bonus guarantee. Prior to that, she was made $28K/$28K at UFC 196. Thus, a huge step-up in pay for Nunes this year. The $350K is the same amount Cruz made at UFC 199 when he beat Urijah Faber. Garbrandt made $27K and $27K for his win against Takeya Mizugaki.
Lol all that hype and she just got destroyed! Overhyped as usual
Hahahahahahahaha…dw will kneel before connor….connor has all the leverage…..4 billion down investors furious hahahaha
I’d like to know how 7 title defenses equals over-hyped. If she is over-hyped who wasn’t? Was Silva over-hyped? He hasn’t won a fight in 4 years.
Regardless, she made a ton of money for this fight, the same can’t be said for boxers these days.
Klitchko vs joshua purse 36 M split hahahahahahahahaha
What a good year!
D ufc over hypes all their fighters and basically has wwe style promotions now.
Hahaha 36m purse in boxing promoter folk lure. Hahaha.
Yeah, what a good year….to be a mma fighter!! Money, money, money!!
FF, explain how 7 title defenses is an over-hyped fighter.
bahahahah she finally fights 2 opponents that aren’t glorified ring girls and gets housed. What a moron!!! her coaches are even more stupid!! Why would she even stand up against anyone? oh wait her coaches told her she was such a talented boxer bahahahaha And What does Rousey being exposed as a fraud have anything to do with boxing? Well the good news is MMA/UFC is back to the boys club, no more cunt being the biggest star of the sport. THe UFC And Dana Wipe should be ashamed of themselves!!!
CRAZY SAL IS BACK!!!
I guess there is no more profanity laced tirade, censorship on here.
How did those real opponents she lost to do against the girls she destroyed?
Rousey vs Zingano?
Rousey vs Tate 2x?
Rousey vs Davis?
d is combusting lol, only 1 ppv seller left in Conor McTapper lol.
Hahaha. Combusting? This was her first fight this year and prior to that mma was having a record year ppv wise. Also, isn’t one a lot more than none like boxing? Hahahahaha!!
Boxing is completely dead in the US!
D is crying hahahahaha….investors are pissed 3 out of the 4 “crossover stars” hype jobs are destroyed…hahahahaha
How to recoup 4 B? Connor can now demand ownership…..dillashaw publicly claiming rigged –shows dw power going down? Mmaaa hahaha
prediction for 2017 Connor leaves the UFC in one way or another!!
Bhahha Cat is a fish who not only lost her last 2, walked right into Rousey’s arm bar like a fool. I call her a ring girl on steroids. Tate is a ring girl who goes to the gym, a bit more experience but cant cover on a big fight. Davis is a fat azz who any child could defeat and has no clue. How could anyone let Rousey grab her. Funny how non fighters and key board limp boys think these glorified ring girls who fight no one are world class anything. It sells and thats it. So Rousey is not even a glorified ring girl she is too fat! At least the men have the sport again. The panty fans are gone bahahahahahahahhaa
That ring girl on steroids beat up Nunes, as did Davis. Tate embarrassed that superstar named Holm. Seems like those girls were pretty good.
Sal is on a rampage. Hahaha.
Rounda and the panty fight fans are done! Maybe Connor will put a bra on to attract the limp fem boys. Bahahahah another fraud exposed who’s next? Oh and don’t think for a second Boxing hasnt and has major frauds. Its just funny watching a kunt be the most successful mma fighter in history how sad for a sport built by men. Dana is a disgrace
