I saw this over on Sherdog. With the foreign fighters' payouts not being properly listed the whole thing is really pretty much worthless. No way Coenen fought for $2K and Mahoeff for $5K.

Yeah and supposedly Herschel made 6 figures. No fucking way he only made 600 bones.

[Luke]

LOL you guys argue ever time I post one of these. Why dont you believe these ? MMA fighters arent millionares


Herschels money was probably donated to his charity and the 600 was all he actually got paid

[zY|]

The last Strikeforce had Mousasis making 2k. Right.

So show me something that proves otherwise.

I dont know why you guys dont believe these fighters dont make shit for money. Fighters on ESPN friday night fights only make 5-10k so why wouldnt undercard fighters on a MMA card make less than that?

Was Manhoeff or Coenen an undercard fighter? Mousasi when he fought Soko?

If you DO believe that they accepted such low pay, then the problem is all on THAT side of the table. There's no way they'd accept such low pay when they've been making a boatload more over in Japan.

My guess is these guys are under contracts that dont pay them shit for their first few fights and then if they win they get much bigger paydays

[zY|]

Do you also believe that Arlovski was paid 5 times more than Fedor in their fight?

If you do, I've got a bridge to sell you.

[Luke]

ok you guys are right all fighters are millionares thats why they fight till age 50.


Sherdog is just making these payouts up for every event

[zY|]

lolumad bro?

[Luke]

lolumad bro?

no i'm not mad lol

I dont know what else I can do to show that this is what they got paid so I gave up
