UFC 132 July 2nd

[poopoo333]

Matt Hamill: $58,000 ($29,000 win bonus)
def. Tito Ortiz: $250,000


So Tito Ortiz got a raise after losing? Tito said in an interview when he begged for his job he had to accept a pay cut.

X, I think a lot of these low payouts for the WEC fighters is because they are from the WEC and might still be on those contracts. I don't feel like it right now, but find some payouts from events that Urijah, Cruz, and Njokuani were in during the WEC (the most recent ones) and compare the payouts.

BOL:

Cain Velasquez: $200,000 (includes $100,000 win bonus)
def. Brock Lesnar: $400,000

Tito made more than Brock (maybe not with the sponsors and stuff, but you get it)

The UFC payscale is highly gay ......pay someone 450k a fight who hasnt won in 5 years and pay a champ 20k, fail

I'm sure that's the case, but it seems like the UFC would've been like, "Okay boys, you're in the UFC now. New contracts for EVERYBODY!!!" and then they uncork a bottle of champagne.

It is quite the fail.

he probably lost part of his PPV percentage.

Obviously some of those payouts are pretty bad, but given these guys sign multi-fight contracts it's not too surprising.

You guys do know those numbers mean nothing. It's just the UFC's way of fucking with people.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

He's saying the UFC doesn't reveal it's locker-room bonuses or whatever. While this is most likely true, I don't see it as a valid rebuttal to the paltry pay guys are reportedly being paid.
