I'm sure I'll be called a Zuffa Shill but everyone who's shitting on the UFC as of late must be cringing when they see what Viacom pays their stars!!! Besides Tito and the guy with Bitch Tits these guys are starving. Bellator supporters saying Chandler was the best in the world and yet they pay him pennies...btw for the record I watch/support all MMA

Tell us what they are being paid then...
Or your thread is moot.
If you think that a major corporation like Viacom not dumping unjustifiable amounts of cash into a tiny, marginally profitable subsidiary like Bellator somehow takes the heat off of Zuffa for the pathetic distribution of their revenues to the fighters, then yeah, you are a Zuffa shill.
It's a fucking ridiculous argument.
how much does chandler again?

Yep classic misnomer. "If my enemy does a bad thing, my bad things go away!"
Phisher -I think his point was all those shitting on the ufc need to realize it's not just the ufc.

Your parents must be proud.
They tell me that they're proud. Should I believe them?
Their payout isn't much different than zuffas, but zuffa makes much more profit than bellator and has a much more talented roster.
My guess is guys like King Mo and Chandler get some sort of yearly salary.
Smart. Gotta start making money as an org first or it's in nobody's best interest long term
glad to see Tito and Bonnar combine for 400K loot :)
I wouldn't pay Tito more than 130K to fight and Bonnar probably 35/35
but as long as that money is going to the fighters I'm happy.

The prelim fighter pay:

def. Alex Higley: $1,500
Rolando Perez: $2,000

The UFC never pays out less than $8k for a fight.
I think it's bullshit that any fighter in any promotion doesn't get paid, and Bellator shouldn't get a pass for this.
People also talked about the ramp and all that, but I also made a point before that things like money spent on a ramp should go to these fighters. Fighters in these major organizations shouldn't be making less than $10k. Viacom AND Zuffa needs to open their wallets more and give to the fighters.
$1,500 and $2,000 is an absolute joke. Fighters make more than that in local promotions
The difference is the UFC controls 90% of the market share and are highly profitable.
I'm not defending Zuffa here either. Everyone should make more, but I'm seeing Bellator get a free pass here. Then if anyone questions it we see a ton of excuses
