The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- UFC 300 ON NOW

Damn RDA probably tired of seeing the red granny panties. He's out here getting that Fight Pass money :smh:

Hes getting Nate Diaz pre Conor money, very sad

I agree, it's not about skill so much as other qualities

Dana cares little about squeezing these traits out of his fighters

There will be more reaction from fighters
 
Dana is a multi multi millionaire thanks to Red Panty Night.

If I was him, I'd be mad at the UFC Marketing and most importantly his manager.

CM Punk's name got him a UFC contract and a comic writing gig. Not saying these fighters aren't right to complain about the pay but the Brazillian fighters are the worst offenders (Barao, Aldo, etc).

Can't wait to see Conor make more than $10 mill.
 
Managers can only do so much. They can't really make the ufc create special shows on them or to do commercials for them etc.

Managers aren't able to produce these things on their own

There's a limit to what they can do

It's ultimately on Dana. If he wants to produce a star be easily can

Dude is fragile. Might not even be possible for him to get cleared. Although that girl on tuf who had cancer and a bad neck somehow couldn't get cleared for amateur wrestling anymore but can for mma.
 
The reason UFC has the show looking for a fight is so he can profit while paying these new guys peanuts.

Dana could use the same marketing dollars to push his existing roster instead but he'd have to pay them more

It is absolutely absurd that Overeem made 800k and Travis Browne made over 100k.

Agreed. Both horribly overpaid.

Browne can eat off Ronda's money like the piece of garbage he is. Eye poking and calling timeouts doesn't deserve any kind of money.

The whole heavyweight division is a huge ****show of uncoordinated huge dudes.
 
Guys start making more money and its slammed lol

All these guys should be making that much

Heavyweights are always the marquee names anyway. They aren't going to be putting on technical displays either so that shouldn't ever be expected

Word, first its no ones making enough money. Then its they're making too much money.

If Reem would've pulled off the win he would've gotten a 200K win bonus as well, making his purse 1M.
 
I wouldn't say slammed, but Travis Browne is literal wife beating human garbage like his racist boyfriend Ronda.

Let these smaller dudes that are technically awesome and put on a great show get that money. Throw somebody like Browne $20k/$20k until he learns how to fight then bump him back up.

No they're not

the ufc heavyweight division has been lackluster for a long time

205 was always their star division and bones exemplified that last

155 and 170 have also been star studded

brock was the only star and that had absolutely nothing to do with actual fighting talent

You buggin'. Neither of the guys I pointed out are worth that.

In terms of skill level or draw IMO.

Overeem was a free agent, he was going to get that bag. Especially going into a title fight. He's a veteran too who's paid his dues, roided perhaps but a veteran none the less. He deserved at least one big pay day

Travis Browne is horrible now, I don't give a damn about him

And yes, the lower divisions are obviously more skilled but the casual fans gravitate towards the big guys due to knockouts... You guys are complaining that the sky is blue on this

I'm happy for anyone of these guys to get paid. Everyone should be making this money in every division, but I'm not going to criticize reem or stipe for making that cash. They absolutely deserve it
 
Reading that this will be one of the highest ppv buys for a ufc event not including conor, brock or ronda. Somewhere in the 600k-700k range. Was estimated be 350k without cm

Feel bad for anyone that purchased that and sat through all the fights. Caught the last 3 and was still disappointed.

My man laughing ALL THE WAY to the bank. 

I just can't help but think about TJ who's one of the best in the world and he's getting paid peanuts compared to Punk. 
 
Sounds like he needs an intervention and to go to gamblers anonymous. They better do it before they see him on the corner doing tricks.
