Re: UFC 117

Lol the UFC is such a joke 35k to Sonnen to fight for the MW championship and 40k to Carwin to fight for the HW championship .


No way I'd fight for so little and I cant believe they do when a championship is on the line

Re: UFC 117

how does Hughes make less than Anderson?

Re: UFC 117

I agree with your observations, Luke, and I'm also surprised to see both Guida and Struve making so little.

Do you not know how to read?

Hughes' base pay is half of what Anderson's is.

Re: UFC 117

UFC 117 sold 1 million ppv's. How much of that was because of Chael? He def deserves more than 35k. He should at least be getting more money down the road.

Re: UFC 117

My point was Anderson didn't get a bonus. Hughes has to win AND get sub of the night to get that extra that lead to him doubling his base pay. How exactly does a guy who was the second most dominant champion is UFC history and regularly boosts the numbers of buys on cards he's on make less than 300k a show? fuck even Tito makes 200k to show.

Really? Wow. If that's true then it's the highest selling PPV the UFC has had maybe even since UFC 100.

It lived up to the hype. An incredible show.

Oh yeah. But Hughes made $100k with $100k win bonus. That $200k didn't include the sub bonus.

Not a fan of Hughes, but he's definitely getting ass pounded. He should be getting at least what every other fighter who's been with the promotion for over a decade should be getting.

Re: UFC 117

Chael Sonnen ($54,000 – $27,000 win bonus) def. Yushin Okami ($18,000)

LOL he made more fighting Okami in the prelims.

I'm just saying how is it a fucking hall of famer who is STILL winning fights gets paid 100k to show when guys like Tito who haven't won a fight since 2006 make 250k and shit is beyond Me.
