Keith Thurman made $1.5 million Phone Post 3.0

Don't forget the HUGE Reebok money that every fighter on the card received.

They also got some free shoes. Phone Post 3.0

Thought Rory would be on more than that, other than that, seems about right Phone Post 3.0

Matt Brown deserves more. He always turns in an exciting fight. Phone Post 3.0

30+ million revenue, and 2 million to the fighters. It's disturbing to think everyone on that card could have been paid 500k and UFC would still have made out well.

I guarantee Matt Brown and Rory got lockerroom money.

What does that have to do with anything? Every promoter spends money promoting but when your payout to fighters is way lower than the live hate you are robbing them blind. End of story. Phone Post 3.0

it's not the end of story if you don't factor in the expenses. i'm not saying the UFC doesn't make money here but for like what the one poster said above that the ufc made 30 million and only paid out 2. You can't just look at it like that. you have to factor in everything. Including all the info we aren't privy to like bonuses and promotional costs and the costs to actually run an event like plane fair and hotel rooms and booking arenas and other stuff.
